Diagnosis of autoimmune diseases is simple. These diseases present with complaints of fatigue, tiredness, weakness, pain, stress, anger which often comes in cycles (remits and relapses) or (waxes and wanes). If your disease comes in cycles which are days, weeks, months apart then you have a autoimmune disease process. The autoimmune diseases are associated with a elevated SED rate or ESR. (Sed Rate is a simple blood test which measures inflammation). C-reactive protein (CRP) is blood test used to measure inflammation & IS elevated in autoimmune diseases.
Fibromyalgia patients present with pain only on the left side of the body and in a similar way early Parkinson will only affect the left side of the body. All diseases are immune mediated.
The human body is the most sensitive machine in the world. You can sense almost anything.
