DESCRIPTION
An autoimmune disorder is a health condition where the immune system of the body exibhits abnormal immune responses. As a result, the immune system which produces antibodies now releases autoantibodies thus damaging healthy body cells. Autoimmune disorder can affect any body part and hence can have varied symptoms for each individual. Most of the autoimmune disorders show similar physical symptoms during the diseased period.

AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER
Our immune system guards our health from the attack of foreign bodies like bacteria and viruses. But when the immune system of the body mistakenly attacks its own body parts, then it's an autoimmune disorder.
Autoimmune disorder causes immune system to consider the healthy body cells as foreign. As a result immune system releases autoantibodies that attacks and damage the healthy cells.This disease can cause disorder in areas like blood vessels, endocrine glands, connective tissue, joints, muscles, red blood cells and skin.
AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER SYMPTOMSEven though there are varying types of autoimmune disorder, most of them share similar physical symptoms. They are
● Fatigue● Achy muscles● Swelling and redness● Low-grade fever● Trouble concentrating● Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet● Hair loss● Skin rashes
