I'm so sorry, it's not a good time. I hope you find treatment that offers some level of relief.
Scariest part is the discovery and uncertainty of it all. "oh well if it's scleroderma, you're dead in 10 years. If it's just scleroderma Ana, maybe it's lupus. It could also be this weird ass thing that less than 1000 people in the world have. Well, I mean you have the marker, but it could also be lupus. Maybe MS. Are you still having dysphagia and have you choked on food lately? "
Excuse me while I gently sway back and forth in the corner over here.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not a antivax person, like at all, I have 5 rona shots now. But if someone tries to suggest with 100% absolute certainty that either covid itself or the toll the vaccine took on me didn't unlock an underlying autoimmune disorder, I'll kick em. I'm not saying that the vaccine gave me an autoimmune issue. I'm saying it likely existed prior but was the catalyst.
My shit started about two months after having Covid. Longgg before I got vaccinated. I think some people think it's the vaccine because problems don't tend to start right away when you have covid. It takes a while.
I never tested positive for covid. I was sick once, but repeatedly tested negative across multiple brands of at home kits. My wife was sick a couple of weeks afterwards, and tested positive at the first sniffle.
