Common Symptoms of an Autoimmune Disorder

An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues or cells. This causes inflammation and damage to organs and tissues. Common symptoms of an autoimmune disorder include:

Fatigue: Chronic fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of an autoimmune disorder. People with an autoimmune disorder often experience extreme tiredness or exhaustion, even after a good night’s sleep.

Joint Pain: Joint pain is a common symptom of an autoimmune disorder, especially rheumatoid arthritis. People with an autoimmune disorder may experience stiffness and pain in their joints, as well as swelling and redness.

Skin Problems: Skin problems, such as rashes, hives, and eczema, are common symptoms of an autoimmune disorder. These skin issues can be itchy, painful, and uncomfortable.

Gastrointestinal Issues: People with an autoimmune disorder may experience gastrointestinal issues, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.

Fever: A fever is a common symptom of an autoimmune disorder. The fever may come and go or remain high for several days.

The most common symptoms of an autoimmune disorder vary depending on the specific condition, but some of the more general symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches, skin rashes, and digestive issues. Other symptoms may include fever, headaches, dizziness, and vision problems. In some cases, an autoimmune disorder may cause severe symptoms such as organ failure or anemia. It is important to speak with a healthcare professional if you are experiencing any of these symptoms as they can help determine the underlying cause.
