i dont know, i wasnt able to see a doctor when i was sick and apparently i can't get it confirmed without making myself sick on purpose for a prolonged amount of time so i guess ill just never know
oh wow ???
my autoimmune disease is characterized by flare ups and I was hospitalized a while ago with the purpose of determining what’s up, but I didn’t have a flare up during that time so all my tests came back fine 😭 that, however, helped them determine that it’s recurring flare ups and not something like rheumatoid arthritis that is always present and that deteriorates your body over time. but I was so so scared they’d send me home without a diagnosis because on paper everything seemed fine yet I was in pain all the time.
I hope you’re not in too much pain and that they manage to figure out what’s up ): in the meantime you can try and figure out what causes your flare ups/sickness and do your best to avoid high stress situations, though that’s hard in this present day
oh man that sounds so tough, im glad you got an answer, but id imagine its a very heavy answer to get. i wish i had anything useful to say, other than that i hope you find ways to manage it as best you can. and its ok to not be ok, sometimes life really just sucks
