About
In October 2018, Aimee’s mom inspired her to use her autoimmune life experiences and learned knowledge paired with her love for others to launch the Autoimmune Sisters Instagram account. In October 2019, this website was launched to provide resources via our Autoimmune Disease pages, a blog of Autoimmune Posts written by our incredible team of women with autoimmune disease and an Autoimmune Sisters-approved Wellness Directory.

Autoimmune Sisters Vaccine Focus Group
Led by Aimee Harris Niedosik, a group of women was formed naturally after several women reached out to us for help in making a decision to get the Covid-19 vaccine. It became apparent that we needed to be a resource for our Autoimmune Sisters community to effectively and transparently share vaccine-related autoimmune stories. After countless hours of dedication, an incredible experience was created to collect stories and publish them here on our blog. If you are autoimmune and ready to share your vaccine-related story, click here to submit for publication.
