N2  - Autoimmune diseases are as unpredictable in their course as they are paradoxical in their cause. They produce persistent suffering as they follow a drawn-out, often lifelong, pattern of remission and recurrence. Multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and type I diabetes -- the diseases considered in this book -- are but four examples of the many conditions that can develop when the body turns on itself. Connecting laboratory research, clinical medicine, social theory, and lived experience, the authors reveal how doctors and patients have come to terms with this new concept of pathogenesis, one that was accepted only in the 1950s
