Auto Immune Disease

Auto Immune Disease

The immune system in your bodyguards you against illness and infection. But if you have an autoimmune disease, your body's healthy cells are mistakenly attacked by your immune system. Various bodily parts can be impacted by autoimmune diseases.

Nobody is certain of the origins of autoimmune disorders. As a rule, they do run in families. Some autoimmune disorders are more common in women than men, especially in African-American, Hispanic-American, and Native-American women. More than 80 different autoimmune illnesses exist, and some of them share symptoms. Because of this, it might be challenging for your doctor to determine which of these disorders, if any, you have. It can be upsetting and distressing to receive a diagnosis. A slight fever, tiredness, and muscle aches are frequently the first sign.
