Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, leading to a range of chronic conditions. These disorders can affect various parts of the body, including joints, skin, organs, and more. Some common autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn’s disease. Symptoms often vary but may include fatigue, pain, swelling, and tissue damage.
