Note from expert: Autoimmune diseases can smolder under the radar for months or even years. You might just feel ‘off,’ get tired easily, or notice minor symptoms that come and go. Some people chalk it up to stress, aging, or parenting exhaustion—until something more obvious shows up. That’s why it’s important to track patterns and get checked if symptoms persist. Early diagnosis makes treatment easier and helps prevent damage. So yes, it’s possible to have autoimmune disease without knowing it—but your body usually gives clues. Trust your gut.
