There are many autoimmune diseases - lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis, scleroderma, & sjogren's syndrome, to name a few, are chronic, often relapsing diseases. Symptoms vary from mild to severe. Its impossible to guess what tests & expenses your illness will require. But your on the right track by asking.

No tests: You need to see a rheumatologist, there are no 100% specific tests. Seeing a rheumatologist is the most cost-effective and only way to determine whether you have an autoimmune disease. Go to www. Rheumatology.Org to find a rheumatologist nearby.
