I specialize in autoimmune problems as well as eating disorders. Here are the facts: they are about equal in nature for who gets them. Some "diseases" are still in recess as to whether they are really autoimmune disorders or not, like fibromyalgia. Also in the autoimmune disorder category are Celiac sprue and Addison's. Now Addison's is more geared more toward males then females (which I find fascinating.)

Statically ,they are more common in women, but more and more men are being diagnosed. Though I am female and have several, my father and son both have one autoimmune disease .http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/autoimmunediseases.html There are a bit over 100 of these diseases.
