Autoimmune means “immunity against the self.” Your body’s immune system is designed to protect you from disease and infection. However, if you have an autoimmune disorder, your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake. This process can negatively impact many parts and systems of the body.
If you live with autoimmune disease, you know how difficult it can be to manage. Patients of autoimmune disorder may experience an extensive list and wide range of disruptive symptoms such as the following:
- Joint pain, muscle pain or weakness or a tremor
- Abdominal pain, diarrhea
- Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
- Insomnia
- Heat intolerance
- Hair loss
- Constant fatigue
- Cold intolerance
- Recurrent rashes or hives
- Sun sensitivity
- Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
- Dry eyes, mouth, or skin
While you may be familiar with diabetes, thyroid disease, lupus or arthritis, there are actually over 80 different types of autoimmune disorders. Some of these disorders may even overlap.
How IV Drip Therapy Can Help
If you are living with an autoimmune disorder and fighting hard just to feel good and manage your symptoms each day, we invite you to consider IV infusion therapy. At Wellness Infusion, we can specially formulate your IV drip to support your body’s natural defenses. In other words, we are helping your immune system when it can’t help itself due to your autoimmune disorder. This can not only include vital vitamins, hydration and nutrients to help you feel your best, but also powerful antibodies that your body is not making on its own so you can fight infections. In autoimmune diseases like lupus, IV infusion therapy has even been shown to raise low red-blood-cell counts!
Fight back against the battle of autoimmune disease by scheduling routine infusions at our Pearland clinic. We can help your body work for you, not against you. Call Wellness Infusion Specialists today to learn more.
