What is An AutoImmune Disorder?

An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy body tissue. The white blood cells in an individual’s body are meant to protect against harmful substances like bacteria and toxins. Sometimes the immune system becomes confused and begins to target the healthy tissue in the human body and systematically destroys it.

 No one knows what triggers an autoimmune disorder, but it is theorized that an infection, certain medications or even a person’s genetic makeup could have something to do with it.  Autoimmune disorders can result in tissue, organ or joint damage.

 Some common autoimmune disorders include Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Celiac Disease, Graves’ Disease, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. It is not unusual for an individual with an autoimmune disorder to develop other autoimmune disorders simultaneously. Common symptoms that are associated with many immune disorders are fatigue, weakness, skin disorders, and severe joint pain.

Treatments options for autoimmune disorders include physical therapy and immunosuppressant medications like steroids and biological treatments. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies are constantly developing new treatment options to help curb the symptoms of these illnesses. The goal of treatment is often to send these conditions into remission for extended durations. Most autoimmune disorders are chronic, but some of these disorders do resolve over time.
