What is a flare? Flares of autoimmune diseases mean that your body has been exposed to an additional stressor or change in its normal condition which has caused your underlying disease to get disturbed. This usually leads to severe fatigue, joint pain, and decreased function. Often the signs and symptoms at initial diagnosis will be the same during flares. If your disease is constantly flaring please call for evaluation and alternate treatment options to help put an end to constant flares. #flares #autoimmune #disease #stressor #disturbed #severe #fatigue #jointpain #decreased #function #diagnosis #flaring #constantly #treatment #drsanjaygodhwani #islandrheumatology #wadingriver #suffolkcounty #rheumatology

What is an autoimmune disease? Normally, when your body recognizes something foreign (flu, ammonia, etc), our body tries to remove it ASAP as a defense mechanism. In an autoimmune disease, your body thinks you're the bad guy and starts to attack itself. This can effect joints, muscles, skin and at times organs. #autoimmune #disease #foreign #remove #defensemechanism #attack #joints #muscles #skin #organs #drsanjaygodhwani #islandrheumatology #rheumatology #wadingriver #suffolkcounty
