Signs and symptoms of autoimmune disease

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

    Rheumatoid arthritis affects joint linings, causing painful swelling. Over long periods of time, the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis can cause bone erosion and joint deformity.
  • Lupus

    Symptoms vary but can include fatigue, joint pain, rash, and fever. These can periodically get worse (flare-up) and then improve.
  • Celiac disease

    The classic symptom is diarrhea. Other symptoms include bloating, gas, fatigue, low blood count (anemia), and osteoporosis. Many people have no symptoms.
  • Sjögren’s syndrome

    The main symptoms are dry mouth and dry eyes.
  • Polymyalgia rheumatica

    Symptoms usually develop quickly and include aching of the shoulders, neck, or hips
  • Multiple sclerosis

    Multiple sclerosis causes many different symptoms, including vision loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination. The symptoms, severity, and duration can vary from person to person. Some people may be symptom free most of their lives, while others can have severe chronic symptoms that never go away.
  • Ankylosing spondylitis

    Symptoms typically appear in early adulthood and include reduced flexibility in the spine. This reduced flexibility eventually results in a hunched-forward posture. Pain in the back and joints is also common.
  • Type 1 diabetes

    Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision.
  • Alopecia areata

    The main symptom is hair loss.
  • Vasculitis

    Symptoms include fever, fatigue, weight loss, and muscle and joint pain.
