More Than Just Lupus

What is Collagen Vascular Disease?

Collagen Vascular Disease encompasses a group of autoimmune disorders where the immune system mistakenly targets the body’s connective tissues—ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. This internal conflict can lead to inflammation and dysfunction in various parts of the body, significantly affecting overall health and mobility. Disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma fall under this category, each presenting its own challenges and symptoms. These diseases not only wear down the physical structures that support our movement and physical integrity but also trigger immune responses that can cause widespread damage if not managed properly.

Symptoms of Collagen Vascular Disease

The symptoms of collagen vascular diseases are as diverse as the disorders themselves. Common manifestations include:

Joint Pain

Often one of the first symptoms noticed, joint pain in CVD can range from mild to debilitating

Fatigue

A profound and persistent tiredness that is not relieved by rest, impacting daily activities and quality of life.

Skin Rashes

Various forms of rashes, which might be both itchy and painful, can appear and are frequently exposed to sunlight exacerbation.

These symptoms can severely disrupt daily life, making simple tasks challenging and diminishing the ability to work or enjoy leisure activities. Recognizing these signs early can be crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
