What is Autoimmune Disease?
At its core, autoimmune disease is a case of mistaken identity, where the immune system erroneously perceives parts of the body as a threat, leading to various forms of systemic inflammation and deterioration of healthy tissue. Symptoms can vary widely based on the disease and affected areas, but they often include fatigue, joint pain, swelling, skin problems, abdominal pain or digestive issues, recurring fever, and swollen glands.
Autoimmune Conditions We Address:
There are over a hundred named autoimmune diseases. From Multiple Sclerosis to PANDAS, at Tringali Vibrant Health, we address them all. Below are just a few with their common symptoms and possible root causes.
Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue. This results in symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, and damage to joints, skin, kidneys, blood, the heart, and lungs.
Common Symptoms:
Fatigue / Body aches / Weight changes / Joint pain / Butterfly Skin rash on the face / Raynaud’s syndrome / Brain fog / Blood clots / Dry eyes
Potential Root Causes:
Gut Bacteria called Ruminococcus gnavus / Hidden Infections / Stress/
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition characterized by chronic inflammation, primarily affecting the joints but potentially impacting other body systems. In RA, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues, particularly the synovium — the thin membrane that lines the joints — causing painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
Common Symptoms:
Tender, Warm, Swollen joints / Joint Stiffness / Fatigue / Fever / Weight Loss
Potential Root Causes:
Genetics / Hormones / Environmental Factors / Gut Microbiome Imbalance
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition known for causing widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties, often referred to as ‘fibro fog.’ It’s a complex disorder considered to be a type of central sensitization syndrome, where the brain and spinal cord process pain signals differently, amplifying the sensation of pain in the body.
Common Symptoms:
Widespread Pain / Fatigue / Cognitive Difficulties
Potential Root Causes:
Genetics / Hormones / Environmental Factors / Stress
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful, chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus, called the endometrium, starts to grow outside the uterus. This displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it would inside the uterus: it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. However, because it has no way to exit the body, it becomes trapped, leading to various complications.
Common Symptoms:
Pelvic Pain / Menstrual Irregularities / Pain with Intercourse / Pain with Bowel / Infertility
Potential Root Causes:
Hormonal Imbalance / Environmental Factors / Genetics / Gut Microbiome Imbalance
