I think I am developing additional autoimmune issues and it's not fun
I've had psoriatic arthritis for years and I'm supposedly in remission but my body has decided to rebel yet again. I think I've had inflammatory bowel issues probably for years as well but I wasn't paying attention because I was too busy drinking which probably made things worse and now I'm heading into 2 years of being sober and I think my body and my age just caught up with me.
I'd actually been moving away from eating meat and eating more a fake meat products and chicken. And last night I had a frozen hamburger patty and my gut is in knots! Even 24 hours later, and I don't even think it has to do with 💩, it just feels like somebody is scraping the inside of my intestines with a comb or something it hurts. I'm also feeling pretty lethargic today like I just don't have the oomph to do anything but it's hard to have when you're hurting too.
Years ago they tested me for celiac and it came back negative but I bet you that might have turned on me too.
My kid just got diagnosed / tested positive for a very rare periodontal EDS as well so now I've been referred to the geneticist to have that done.
I'm just tired of feeling sick and tired right now 🥺
I just put some rice in the cooker and I'm going to make a scrambled egg and eat that with it. I was going to go out and have lunch earlier to celebrate my dad's birthday and now I just feel like shit 😢😭

(6,137 posts)Immune Deficiencies make life horribly hard, doubly so when you have multiples (which I discovered isn't a rare thing). I empathize with you; I'm down to my last 6 pain pills to last til the end of the month... obviously that's not gonna work. I can never get my body to cooperate to make it that long. So, I try to get as much done while I have my pills, because the last week or so will be spent in bed. If only I had someone to cook supper during those times. I worry about hubs not getting enough to eat. Before old age hit us, he couldn't boil water. Now? I'm afraid the kitchen would go up in flames and STILL the water wouldn't boil! (sigh)
