Is there anything they can do for you?
Basically know your diet and what you can and can’t eat. It’s a bit of a journey as it’s different for everyone and often the mind is weak and you just roll the dice eating the thing you know is going to **** you up later.
Outside of that I’m on chronic immune suppressants to keep the body from attacking itself which mostly does the job on a day to day “baseline” level.
Bigger issue is that there is some potential correlation to having either other immune disorders or auto immune diseases and I’m yet to find out if I do have one of those or if my other random issues are simply the same in origin.
I know I don’t have Lupus at least after getting the exact symptoms at one point.
I have extremely sensitive skin, especially on my feet where I’ll just walk a kilometre and have legions on the top where shoes rubbed up against my feet.
Lots of joint pain that comes and goes with activity.
All in all it’s never quite fun but most days you just learn to live with it through pain threshold levelling up I guess.
On really **** days or sucks, but the WFH revolution has made that a lot more accommodating than before.
