Autoimmune disorders are among the most misunderstood health conditions. They often begin quietly, with vague symptoms that appear unrelated – fatigue here, joint pain there, a skin flare-up, a strange digestive issue.
Because the early signs are subtle, many people brush them off as stress, aging, or lifestyle problems. But catching autoimmune symptoms early can make a dramatic difference in long-term health, symptom management, and quality of life.
There are more than 80 known autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
