Doc how do I know if my fatigue is normal ‘parent tired’ or actually something wrong with my immune system? I believe we feel tired all the time... but how to know if its something serious

Hi doc... my girl always say she tired even after sleeping full night leh... could it be something more serious? I thought she was just lazy, but reading all these... I'm scared

My joints always pain one, especially in the morning. Thought it's just old already but my cousin say could be autoimmune. How to know ah?

Doc is it true... I heard stress is really a big trigger for autoimmune? Then how to manage stress when parenting already so stressful?

My son always get random rashes, come and go. PD say allergy, but sometimes no trigger leh. Autoimmune can look like that or not?

My skin sometimes breakout with red patches, itchy but not like eczema. Autoimmune can affect skin like that???

Wah, autoimmune so many types, how to even check? Is there like a blood test we can do just to be safe?

What’s the difference between autoimmune and just having low immunity ah? Like how to tell apart?

Is it true autoimmune problem can run in the family? My mum got lupus, now I worried for my kids.

Any foods we should avoid or eat more to prevent autoimmune flare-ups? Especially for kids?
