A Guide To Autoimmune Disease Symptoms

Immune system plays an important role in protecting our body against harmful diseases and illness. An autoimmune disease can be defined as a disorder in which the immune system of our body reacts against itself. It produces antibodies which attack the body's healthy cells and tissues. In some cases, these disorders are directed mainly at one part of the body like the thyroid gland or the pancreas while in others, they may spread widely throughout the body. Some common symptoms of autoimmune diseases are:


Fatigue - It is one of the most commonly found autoimmune disease symptoms. Fatigue mainly occurs because the body fights against itself trying to cure a problem which does not exist in reality. Instead of curing a real problem, the disease attacks and destroys the affected part of the body.


Joint Pain - Pain is another commonly found symptom and is manifested mainly in joints, muscles and various tender spots in the body. Joint and muscle pain is the result of the persistent attacks of the immune system on the body.


Swollen Glands - Swelling of glands in the throat area, under the arms and at the top of the legs is another common autoimmune disease symptom.


Sensitivity to Infections - People suffering from autoimmune diseases suffer from problems like frequent cold, bladder infections, ear infections, sore throat, sinus problems and yeast infections.



Digestive Problems - Leaky gut syndrome is also one of the commonly found autoimmune disease symptoms. People suffering from this syndrome experience abdominal pain, bloating, tenderness, cramps, constipation and excessive gas.


Apart from these autoimmune disease symptoms people suffering from autoimmune diseases may also experience symptoms like allergies, low blood sugar, blood pressure changes, anxiety and depression, memory loss and many more. It is important to seek expert advice in case you notice any of these symptoms in your body.
