Autoimmune Disease Resources |
|
| Autoimmune diseases are difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. You may find, as I did, that many doctors simply will not take your symptoms seriously or they treat each symptom separately, leaving you misdiagnosed and mistreated.
This is where it is vital that you become informed. If you have suspicions that you have a particular autoimmune condition, then do some research on the internet or contact the organizations that represent your disease and then bring your information to your physician. |
Be an advocate for yourself, and present your information to your physician. If your physician suggests that your problem is psychosomatic or nonexistent, the best option is to find another doctor, preferably a holistic practitioner who treats the body as a whole, not just a conglomeration of separate symptoms.
Holistic health care practitioners, in my opinion, are better equipped to deal with the complexity of autoimmune diseases, as they believe in prevention and in dealing with the underlying cause of the problem, versus just treating the symptoms.
If you are having trouble finding a holistic health care practitioner who understands the complexity of autoimmune disorders, you may wish to contact one of the consultants listed here. |
