aUTOIMMUNE

Your immune system protects your body’s healthy cell tissues by attacking any viruses, bacteria, pathogens, or diseases that enter your body.
Simply put, it prevents you from getting sick and helps you feel better if you fall ill. However, in autoimmune diseases, the immune system acts differently; your immune system gets confused and attacks your body’s healthy cells instead of the diseased ones. This complicates the medical issue because your body’s defense systems are working against it. If left untreated, serious medical problems may occur.

There are several autoimmune illnesses, each of which has its own unique symptoms. Symptoms of Autoimmune Thyroid diseases can include depression, fluctuations in weight, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety. Coeliac Disease manifests through digestive problems, neurological issues, rashes, and the sudden loss of control of your body’s movements. Those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis often detect symmetric joint problems in the wrists and hands.
