webmd knew what i had before any dr so it can’t hurt to put your symptoms in there. it helps to have an idea and ask for specific tests to confirm or deny it. i would ask for an ANA test and a celiac blood test

i might have misunderstood that you meant autoimmune issues. if your only symptom is getting sick often i would test b12, ferritin and an iron panel, and vitamin d.
