Possible Autoimmune…undiagnosed

I’m also sorry that you’re going through this too🌻 I’m the same…I don’t make plans anymore & I was always making plans before I became sick, always on the go, hiking, swimming, last minute adventures…you name it I was always doing something. My sleep also has become horrible. I used to sleep with no issues & wake up about 5:30am & stay awake til like 11pm. Now I’m lucky if I can stay awake for more than 3 hours & the extreme fatigue sets in. When I have a decent day I use the energy I have which is maybe an hr or so to clean or do something productive. I also get anxious sometimes too which I’ve never had before & it’s usually on the days when I start to overthink everything like what did I do wrong, should I have gone to a dr sooner & just blaming myself for getting sick. But I’ve realized this isn’t my fault & it’s out of my control at the moment until I get a diagnosis. Just remember to breathe & take it one day at a time…we will figure this out & reach out to me at anytime you need🌻🌻 prayers to you🌻

I can say that many things became easier for me when I gave in to taking alprazolam. Now, I have to give in to taking a stronger dose or changing to another anti-anxiety medication. For some reason, this is another conflict for me. I feel like I will be judged for needing this type of medication. I also have to take something to help me sleep, or I will have palpitations into the wee hours worrying about I have no idea what?? I really do feel like quite a mess sometimes, but I am determined to overcome whatever it is I have, even if it’s self-inflicted. I’m really starting to think it is. I hope you see improvement soon, Melissa. It’s a rough way to live. I will add you to my prayer list😉🙏🏻🙏🏻
PS… I have a daughter who has suffered auto immune problems since the birth of her son six years ago. It started with a lupus diagnosis, then moved to a mixed connective tissue disorder diagnosis and is now diagnosed as scleroderma. I am really familiar with a lot of aspects of autoimmune disorders. I have bloodwork this Thursday and I’m being checked again myself. We’ll see… It’s a real stinker sickness. I hope neither of us have it!😢
