Depressing, isnt it? You feel fatigued, and ache all over. These symptoms are difficult to diagnose with any form of measurement, and can be blamed on depression. Is it all in your head, or is there some other cause for your issues?

Its not always the easiest task to properly diagnose a chronic condition. Many are diagnosed based on the collection of symptoms, like fibromyalgia, and through a process of elimination.

With all the advances we have made in our medical and research communities it seems that there should be tests and treatments that can help or cure chronic conditions. Is this wishful thinking? Yes, but realistic, too. The fact is that chronic conditions are difficult to trace.

There are many conditions with similar symptoms, and with some of these conditions, such as MS, or multiple sclerosis, the cause is not clear. How can you effectively treat a condition when you cannot identify its cause?

Rheumatoid arthritis is another of the autoimmune conditions that falls in the classification of chronic disease. Additional autoimmune conditions include chronic fatigue, lupus, and fibromyalgia. All are diagnosed through a process of elimination rather than definitive proof.

The list of chronic health issues is not complete without adding Lyme disease to the list. This parasitic condition is caused by tick transmitted borrelia bacteria. Many do not even know they have been infected, diagnosis is difficult, and treatment may not be effective.

Now we know the challenges that are faced in diagnosing chronic autoimmune disorders. Once the diagnosis is decided the treatment may not be clear. Our traditional treatment using antibiotics has been widely overused, and now we face resistant pathogens.
