What are autoimmune diseases anyways?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body‘s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, mistaking them for foreign invaders. This results in chronic inflammation and damage to various organs or systems. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis are examples where this malfunction leads to symptoms like pain, fatigue, and dysfunction. The precise cause of autoimmune diseases is often complex, involving a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and immune system irregularities. Understanding and addressing these factors are crucial for managing and improving outcomes in autoimmune conditions.
