Do I Have an Autoimmune Disease Quiz
Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. Has a healthcare professional raised concern about inflammation, immune activity, or the need for specialist assessment?
No clinician has raised this concern, and I have no relevant test history.
A minor test variation was noted once, with no continuing concern at that time.
A clinician recommended repeat testing or follow-up because of symptoms or abnormal results.
A clinician advised prompt specialist or urgent assessment, or significant abnormalities remain unevaluated while symptoms worsen.
2. When symptoms occur, how often do they affect more than one part of your body around the same time?
I have not noticed symptoms involving multiple body areas together.
This happened once during a short-term illness or another identifiable event.
Symptoms in two different body areas have appeared together on multiple occasions.
Several body systems seem affected together, or the combination substantially limits normal activity.
3. Have you experienced new changes involving strength, sensation, balance, or vision?
I have not noticed a new unexplained neurological change.
A mild, brief symptom followed a clear trigger such as pressure on a limb and resolved completely.
Numbness, weakness, balance trouble, or visual disturbance has recurred or persisted.
There is sudden one-sided weakness, facial drooping, inability to speak, major vision loss, a seizure, or a severe new headache.
4. What best describes ongoing digestive symptoms without a clear short-term cause?
I have not had a persistent unexplained digestive pattern.
A brief episode occurred after a likely food or infectious trigger and resolved.
Pain, diarrhea, nausea, or another digestive symptom has persisted or repeatedly returned.
There is significant bleeding, black stool, severe abdominal pain, fainting, persistent vomiting, or inability to keep fluids down.
5. Have you had chest discomfort, breathing difficulty, or a racing heartbeat that was unusual for you?
No unusual pattern of these symptoms.
A mild, brief episode occurred with a known trigger and settled fully.
Episodes have recurred without a clear explanation or now happen with ordinary activity.
I have current or severe chest pain, major breathing difficulty, fainting, blue lips, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
6. How does your skin respond to sunlight or other recurring triggers?
I have not noticed an unusual recurring skin response.
I occasionally develop mild irritation that settles quickly and has an identifiable cause.
A similar unexplained rash repeatedly appears or becomes worse after sun exposure.
The reaction is extensive, painful, blistering, rapidly spreading, or involves my eyes or mouth.
7. Looking at your appetite and weight lately, what change have you noticed?
Any change has been intentional or within my usual pattern.
I noticed one small unexplained shift that did not continue.
My appetite or weight has changed noticeably without an intended diet or activity change.
The unexplained change is continuing, or I am struggling to eat, drink, or maintain strength.
8. Have puffiness, ankle swelling, or changes in urination appeared without an obvious cause?
I have not noticed unexplained swelling or changes in my urine.
A brief change occurred with a likely cause, such as temporary dehydration or prolonged standing.
Foamy urine, puffiness, ankle swelling, or another unexplained change has happened repeatedly.
I have blood-colored urine, sharply reduced urination, rapidly increasing swelling, or breathing difficulty with swelling.
9. After waking or sitting still, what happens to your joints?
I do not have a recurring pattern of joint stiffness.
Occasional stiffness lasts only a few minutes and follows unusual exertion or posture.
Stiffness repeatedly lasts 15 minutes or longer and improves as I move.
Prolonged stiffness comes with marked swelling or loss of function, or a hot swollen joint occurs with fever.
10. Over the past several weeks, what best describes fatigue that is unusual for you?
I have not noticed an unusual fatigue pattern.
I felt unusually tired briefly after a demanding event, disrupted sleep, or a known short-term illness.
Unusual fatigue has returned on several days even when I had a reasonable chance to rest.
Fatigue is present most days, is worsening, or is making routine activities difficult.
11. In cold conditions or during stress, have your fingers or toes changed color or sensation?
I have not noticed a recurring color or sensation change.
They occasionally feel cold or mildly tingly but return to normal quickly.
They repeatedly turn distinctly white, blue, or red and may become numb or painful.
The change is prolonged or comes with severe pain, open sores, darkened tissue, or loss of sensation.
12. What has been your experience with unexplained sores inside your mouth or nose?
I have not had an unexplained recurring pattern of sores.
I had one sore after a likely trigger such as accidental biting or irritation.
Sores have returned several times or appeared in multiple places without a clear trigger.
Sores are extensive, severely painful, infected-looking, or make it difficult to eat or drink.
13. Which description best fits swelling, warmth, or tenderness around your joints?
I have not noticed unexplained joint swelling, warmth, or tenderness.
It occurred briefly after a minor strain or increased activity.
It has recurred without a clear injury or has affected more than one joint.
A joint is very hot, rapidly swelling, impossible to use, or accompanied by fever or severe illness.
14. Have you experienced elevated temperature or fever without a clear explanation?
No unexplained elevated temperature or fever.
One brief episode occurred around a minor illness or another likely cause.
Low-grade temperatures or feverish episodes have recurred without an obvious cause.
The fever is persistent, high, rapidly worsening, or accompanied by confusion, severe weakness, or dehydration.
15. What pattern best matches unexplained symptoms that improve and then return?
I have not experienced a recurring pattern.
One symptom returned once but settled quickly.
Similar episodes have come and gone several times over weeks or months.
Episodes are becoming more frequent, lasting longer, or causing major difficulty with daily tasks.
