Autoimmunity: An in-sight narrative
Abstract:
Autoimmune conditions can mirror dis-ease at many levels, each of which blurs the boundary between self and non-self. While medicine captures the inflammatory angle involving the immune system, this article presents perspectives on other players in this dis-ease—lifestyle, mental and emotional states and sociocultural settings—gathered from the author’s own journey with autoimmunity.
