Depressing, isnt it? You feel fatigued, and ache all over. These symptoms are difficult to diagnose with any form of measurement, and can be blamed on depression. Is it all in your head, or is there some other cause for your issues?
It is difficult to diagnose many chronic conditions. The symptoms cannot be measured, and tests do not exist that show the specific cause. Many tests will point in the right direction, showing a rise in the natural infection fighting response, but cannot tell us why.
You would think that with the knowledge base available, and the advanced testing capabilities that our medical community could more easily diagnose and treat these conditions that plague our population. It would seem, too, that we should have more effective treatments that actually treat the cause.
Since so many of the autoimmune conditions we face these days have similar symptoms there is often a trail and error diagnosing process, eliminating possible causes. MS, for example, is difficult to diagnose, and is often seen in the progression of symptoms. There is no clear answer as to the cause of MS. Treatment is also variable, and usually manages the symptoms instead of improving the state of health.
Rheumatoid arthritis is another of the autoimmune conditions that falls in the classification of chronic disease. Additional autoimmune conditions include chronic fatigue, lupus, and fibromyalgia. All are diagnosed through a process of elimination rather than definitive proof.
Lyme disease is another of those multi-symptom diseases that shares symptoms with other autoimmune disorders. Lyme is known to be caused by borrelia bacteria, which is commonly transmitted by ticks, and may be more common than we think.
Diagnosing disease and its actual cause is a difficult job. Many are given the typical and over-prescribed course of antibiotics, but this treatment does not appear to be effective enough to reliably eradicate these debilitating diseases. Many turn to less conventional treatments in hopes of finding a cure.
