5. Trouble concentrating

No single test can diagnose most autoimmune diseases. Your doctor will use a combination of tests and a review of your symptoms and a physical examination to diagnose.
The antinuclear antibody test (ANA) is often one of the first tests that doctors use when symptoms suggest an autoimmune disease. A positive test means you may have one of these diseases, but it won’t confirm exactly which one you have or if you have one for sure.
Treatment of autoimmune disease.
The main treatment for autoimmune diseases is with medications that bring down inflammation and calm the overactive immune response. Treatments can also help relieve symptoms.
