The Detective Work of Autoimmune Disease
Angela Crowley, MD, is up-front about it. Accurately diagnosing an autoimmune disease can be tricky.
“People on average see six doctors over a period of 4 years before they get a diagnosis.”
This is because, in general, autoimmune diseases tend to arrive unpredictably, disguised as other conditions, offering only confusing clues as to what they are.
One reason is that the list of what’s considered to be autoimmune is long and ranges from the very common to the extremely rare.
Did you know? The following are all autoimmune diseases:
– Celiac disease
– Diabetes type 1
– Multiple sclerosis (MS)
– Psoriasis
– Inflammatory bowel disease
