TW: Long personal health update, discussion about autoimmune disease:
My family doctor is ordering new blood tests to look at the possibility that I’m dealing with more than one autoimmune disease. Over 2 years, my treatment has not been successful, and my immune system is rapidly weakening. I’m even more susceptible to infection and flare ups. All of this had slowly worsened since my onset of Long Covid (2023) and its sequelae of cascading health issues.
*long audible sigh*
I expected this day might come. I may seem strong and capable via the internet, but the majority of my days are spent feeling defeated, forced to rest and never doing what I truly want to do. I already dropped out of school. I already have recruited my wife to help with my business.
I’m nervous but also hopeful we might find something else that, if treated, could help improve my quality of life.
Please cross your fingers for me, as right now I do not have a Rheumatologist and I’m on a long wait list for a new one.
Thx,

@britt thanks for sharing! Sorry you’re dealing with all that
our healthcare system doesn’t make it easy with those long wait lists. I hope you can get some answers and relief soon. -
