Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases are different. They cause your immune system to get confused and attack the healthy cells in your body. This often complicates the medical issue at hand even further because your body’s defense systems are working against it. If left untreated, serious medical issues may occur.

There are hundreds of autoimmune illnesses, each of which have their own unique symptoms.

Symptoms of Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (Hashimoto’s or Graves) can include depression, fluctuations in weight, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety.

Celiac Disease generally manifests itself through digestive problems, neurological issues, rashes, and the sudden loss of control of your body’s movements.

Those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis will often notice painful joint problems with their wrists and hands.
