Autoimmune conditions range from minor annoyances such as small rashes to major life-threatening blood vessel diseases that are fatal if untreated. The good news is that a great deal of progress has made in treatment of autoimmune conditions in the last twenty years. Many autoimmune diseases are treatable.

The vast majority of autoimmune diseases are chronic and progressive, if not managed properly. We have learned that rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy are just a few of these conditions. Each requires specific therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies. If you think you have such issues, contact your doctor ASAP.
