Autoimmune Diseases
Awareness Calendar

different types of autoimmune diseases
     Awareness days, weeks, and months, are health related, and help Raise Awareness of Autoimmune Diseases. International Awareness days, weeks, and months also fall under the same category, and take place each year. National days in some cases are staged by commercial organizations to help promote awareness, and services. The R. A. A. I. D. Awareness Calendar highlights some of these organizations and events, along with details on how to get involved.

      When an intruder invades your body like a cold virus or bacteria on a thorn that pricks your skin—your immune system protects you. It tries to identify, kill and eliminate the invaders that might hurt you. But sometimes problems with your immune system cause it to mistake your body’s own healthy cells as invaders and then repeatedly attacks them. This is called an autoimmune disease. “Autoimmune” means immunity against self. Your immune system is a network of cells and tissues throughout your body that work together to defend you from invasion and infection. You can think of it as having two parts: the acquired and the innate immune systems. Autoimmune diseases refer to problems with the acquired immune system’s reactions. In an autoimmune reaction, antibodies and immune cells target the body’s own healthy tissues by mistake, signaling the body to attack them repeatedly.

    The classic signs and symptoms of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain, and swelling. How an autoimmune disease affects you depends on what parts of the body are targeted: i.e. (Systemic & Organ specific). If the disease affects the joints, as in Rheumatoid Arthritis, you might have joint pain, stiffness, and loss of function. If it affects the thyroid, as in Grave's Disease and thyroiditis, it might cause tiredness, weight gain, and muscle aches. If it attacks the skin, as it does in Scleroderma / Systemic Sclerosis, Vitiligo, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), it can cause rashes, blisters, and color changes. No one is sure what causes autoimmune diseases. In most cases, a combination of factors is probably at work. For example, you might have a genetic tendency to develop a disease and then, under the right conditions, an outside invader like a virus might trigger it.
