What are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases can affect nearly any part of the body. An individual with an autoimmune disease will have an immune system that misidentifies healthy, normal cells and substances within the body as risks. The immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy tissue to protect the body and causes inflammation. During a genuine threat response, inflammation provides a shield around healthy tissue to keep it safe. Autoimmune diseases cause chronic inflammation that may cause tissue damage, pain, and other symptoms.

Traditional Medical Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The inability to detect the condition or determine a cause has made it impossible for science to develop any FDA-approved treatment or cure for the illness. Doctors will typically attempt to calm the symptoms to give patients some relief.

Treatment plans will consistently change as the conditions worsen or improves. Some of the methods used by doctors can include antidepressants, corticosteroids, and other prescription drugs. The doctor may recommend psychological counseling or physical therapy. Physical therapy and low-intensity workouts have helped some CFS patients by boosting their energy levels. People with the condition often need to find personal solutions because of the ineffectiveness and limits of the current treatment options.
