Signs & Symptoms Checker  T - U

    The R. A. A. I. D. Signs & Symptoms Checker is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is for information, and educational awareness of autoimmune diseases only. Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking treatment because of something you have read on our website. Please consult a certified health care provider, or doctor in regards to your symptoms or medical condition.
     This R. A. A. I. D. Signs & Symptoms Checker focuses on some of the common symptoms of  the 80 - 100's of confirmed autoimmune conditions. This checker is by no means complete. For an exhaustive list see the book, Living Well With Autoimmune Disease, By Mary J. Shoman. This list can be an important first step in getting appropriate testing and the right medical diagnosis. http://www.thyroid-info.com/autochecklist.htm
