How To Tell If You have an Autoimmune Disease

An Autoimmune disease is considered a top 10 leading cause of death in women under the age of 65. Rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes, thyroid disease, lupus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and more are different types of symptoms all over the body that range from mild to severe Autoimmune Diseases. So what is an Autoimmune Disease? An Autoimmune disease is born when your body is working hard to defend itself against something potentially dangerous, such as an allergen, a toxin or an infection, and is unsuccessful to characterize between the intruder and parts of your own body. 

Confusing certain types of tissues for harmful substances, your body turns these antibodies against itself, inflicting damage in your organs. Autoimmune disorders are broadly grouped into two categories: (1) Organ-specific which means one organ is affected, while (2) Non-organ specific disorders mean more than 1 organ may be affected. There are close to 100 different immune disorders ranging in severity from mild to serious depending on which system of the body is under attack and to what degree. 

You must consult your doctor if you are experiencing the following symptoms. Chances are, you may have an autoimmune disease:
  • Weight loss, insomnia, heat intolerance or rapid heartbeat
  • Recurrent rashes or hives
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Feeling tired, weight gain or cold intolerance
  • Joint pain or muscle pain
  • Abdominal pain, blood or mucus in your stool, diarrhea or mouth ulcers
  • Dry eyes, mouth or skin
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
  • Blood Clots
  • Hair loss 

An Autoimmune disease can affect any gender, but women are most likely to occur having the said disease. Genetics also play a big role in who gets autoimmune diseases, so if you have a family history of having the disease, you are at risk of having it too.



An Autoimmune disease can exist in so many different ways, affecting the thyroid, the brain, the skin, and/or other organs.  An Autoimmune disease in general cannot be cured but the condition can be controlled in many cases. Working closely with a doctor to review risk factors for infections, food intakes, as well as listening to you closely to discover how all of your symptoms are related is an essential part of getting well. Your doctor will help you find the main cause of your condition. A change in your lifestyle, such as a nutritious and healthy diet, regular exercise, rest, and stress management may be worked  into fighting/dealing an autoimmune disease. Your doctor will probably give you oral medications put you on a extensive diet by removing the inflammatory foods.
