The Autoimmune Connection

The Autoimmune Connection explains the links between autoimmune diseases and offers up-to-date information on diagnosis, treatments, and risks for women with one or more autoimmune disease, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn's disease.

You will learn how to sort out vague and seemingly unrelated early signs and symptoms, which diagnostic tests you may need and what the results can mean, how autoimmune diseases and treatments can affect you at different stages of life, what new treatments and therapies are on the horizon, and where to find the proper specialist and how to navigate the healthcare system.
