Auto-Immune Disease Disability T ax Credit
An autoimmune disease develops when the immune system begins attacking healthy cells. Affecting up to 50 million Americans, this disease can affect one or more different types of body tissues. This can result in either an abnormal organ growth, or the organ poorly functioning.
There are many types of autoimmune diseases, specifically upwards of 80 types. However, amongst all types of autoimmune diseases there are similar symptoms which they share. An individual can have more than one type of autoimmune disease, and it cannot be cured by treatment. It is common for these diseases to fluctuate between remissions and flare-ups.
This means that the individual experiences little or no symptoms during remission; however during flare-ups their symptoms worsen. A staggering 75% of autoimmune disease patients are women, and these diseases are known to run in families.
In this article, a few of the most common autoimmune diseases will be mentioned. Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and celiac sprue disease are some of the most common types of these diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis is the inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissue, whereas systemic lupus erythematosus affects many organs including the skin, joints, kidneys, and the brain.
