Autoimmune insanity
Before I start, my doctor has refused to test me for auto immune diseases as lupus runs in my family so I could get a false positive... the main symptom she looks for in lupus is painful swollen hands.
Ive had symptoms of autoimmune issues for a few years at least.
Most recently I've noticed I get "sick" after periods of stress.
Sept 2025 my mom was hospitalized, I got sick. No one else did.
October 2025, mom got hospitalized again, I got sick again. Again no one else is sick.
I got back from a trip, and started working again after a 3 year break to raise my kids. Sick again. And its not your typical starts with a sore throat, a little runny nose and slowly gets worse. This is an all of a sudden body aches, extreme fatigue, sore skin, sinus inflammation, temperature around 100°, and an insanely itchy scalp.
Im going to have to try to see a functional medicine doctor..
Anyone else get similar symptoms?
