Autoimmune & Rheumatic Diseases – Causes, Symptoms, and Management

When the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, it leads to rheumatic and autoimmune disorders, causing long-lasting inflammation, pain, and damage to joints. Affecting many organs and joints, conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and ankylosing spondylitis fit this group. Although the precise origin is unknown, diseases, environmental elements, and genetic inclination could all set off these conditions.
The disease determines the symptoms, although usually they include joint stiffness, oedema, tiredness, and muscular pain. Prevention of long-term consequences depends on early diagnosis. To control symptoms and slow down disease progress, rheumatologists usually advise a mix of drugs, including immunosuppressants, corticosteroids, and biologics.
Improving patient quality of life depends critically on lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, frequent exercise, and stress management. Relief can also come from alternative therapies, including Ayurveda or acupuncture, as well as from physical therapy. Those with rheumatic and autoimmune disorders can lead active, joyful lives with appropriate medical treatment and lifestyle changes.
