The Cause: Autoimmune headaches can be caused by inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain due to toxic substances irritating them and vasoconstriction or vaso-dilation meaning when the brain get’s too much or too little blood. A few of these autoimmune conditions that have this feature include Behcet's disease, Kawasaki disease and Cogan's syndrome. In vasculitis the Immune system attacks the blood vessels including those in the brain which causes them to become inflamed causing a headache.
Migraines and Headaches are common in the following autoimmune diseases:Īnother autoimmune condition that can cause headaches is Vasculitis.

The bodies effort to try to remove toxins through the skin.
Inflammation in organ systems or blood vessels that are connected to the skin.Overactive immune system irritating the skin.The Cause: The causes of these rashes vary, but commonly rashes are either caused by: There is a very common AI disease Psoriasis in which the overactive immune system speeds up the life cycle of skin cells causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin.īoth type 1 diabetes and thyroid disease can cause dry itchy skin.Ĭrohn’s disease cause rashes, and there is also a contidion called dermatomyositis which is a skin rash on the face, shoulders, upper chest, and back, and around the knuckles.Īnother autoimmune rash called autoimmune urticaria causes raised red areas that don’t itch but they are very painful and burn like nerve pain.Įczema which is inflammation of the skin can be autoimmune induced. Lupus also has the signature the butterfly rash that appears on both cheeks and goes across the nose giving a butterfly shape. Rashes are very common with lupus which has three forms of skin disease called Cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Rashes can come in a variety of ways in autoimmune diseases.
#AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE SYMPTOM CHECKLIST PLUS#
So the combo of a high energy demand plus a low energy supply causes extreme fatigue. However when your body is also attacking yourself on top of that it causes an abnormally high energy demand.Īdditionally many of the toxins that cause autoimmunity also attack the bodies energy centers like the thyroid and mitochondria causing a lack of supply. Normally this is ok when it’s just taking care of the normal everyday exposure to toxins. However also could be a sign of a lot of other issues: Chronic Viral/bacterial infection (lyme), mold infection, and heavy metal poisoning. A few of the more prevalent autoimmune dis associated w fatigue are:
Chronic fatigueįatigue is an incredibly common autoimmune symptom found in virtually all autoimmune diseases. This can be inhibited in autoimmune pain conditions. The brain filters out which are true concerns and which are not. We only feel about 25% of the pain signals sent to our brain. With muscle pain studies suggest that chronic stress or physical trauma may lead to changes in hormones and neurotransmitters, causing muscle pain like seen in fibromyalgia.Īlso it’s also suggested that the brains inability to drown out pain signals in fibromyalgia and other autoimmune patients is inhibited causing a hypersensitivity to pain. Abdomen pain is most frequently associated with Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, or Celiac disease.ĬAUSE: The pain in these conditions can be caused by inflammation from the immune system attacking either the lining of the joints or the intestine wall. Muscle pain is a common symptom Fibromyalgia, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as Hashimotos and graves disease. Joint pain and joint stiffness is common w many autoimmune conditions such as, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Sjogren’s, and autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's and graves disease. Which autoimmune conditions is it associated with? Joint & Muscle Pain This is one of if not the most commonly reported autoimmune symptoms.
