Thank you. My liver and kidney and neurological symptoms are now being affected. I don’t really see a turn around as the anti-U1-RNP there are only 50,000 cases in the U.S. less that 1.9 percent it’s called a very rare autoimmune disease that overlaps all of the other autoimmune diseases. I am not afraid to die but I will put this out there, I never in 50 years had an abnormal lab and now showing at some point I had a heart attack. I have slowly started making lifestyle changes but untimely have gone downhill since June 2021 upon developing Covid. I have been sick and could now figure out why as it mimics major depressive disorder as well. It got so bad I was hallucinating that I was seeing and hearing demons and really believed it until my doctor ran a bunch of labs and found it was organic in nature. I went temporarily paralyzed from my feet to my neck for 15 minutes last week then the sensations came back. Sustained a concussion from that. Seeing a Rheumatologist Tuesday

I caught covid in March and it hit my cardiovascular system. EKG signals indicated possible previous heart attacks. I had a nuclear stress test that ruled them out as artifacts (no damage, just how my heart is wired). If you haven't had a stress test for verification, you can even get one without the treadmill/bike part. I've had autoimmune diseases starting more than 30 years ago. It is a challenge to find things and friends to escape with. Covid and autoimmune diseases are very isolating.
