Autoimmune Diseases
Your immune system is designed to protect your body’s healthy cell tissues by attacking any viruses, bacteria, pathogens, or diseases that enter your body. Simply put, it’s what prevents you from getting sick, and also what helps you feel better if you do fall ill. However, autoimmune diseases are different. Your immune system gets confused and attacks the healthy cells in your body instead of the diseased ones.
This often complicates the medical issue at hand even further because your body’s defense systems are working against itself. 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 Diseases (Hashimoto’s or Graves’) can include depression, fluctuations in weight, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety. Celiac Disease manifests itself through any of these: digestive problems, neurological issues, rashes, and anemia. Those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis will often notice symmetric joint problems in the wrists and hands.

I can then help you determine if you have an autoimmune disease and then map out an effective treatment plan to manage your symptoms or in some cases go into complete remission.
