Living With Autoimmune Disease: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Daily Life
Autoimmune diseases affect millions of people and can impact nearly every system in the body. In this episode of the Prisma Health podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Ana Elizabeth Gowani, a rheumatologist at Prisma Health, to help us better understand how autoimmune diseases develop, why diagnosis can be challenging, and how modern treatments—including biologics and personalized medicine—are improving patient outcomes. We’ll also explore the role of lifestyle, mental health, and self‑advocacy in managing these complex, chronic conditions.
