Re: Thot 4 the Day.../autoimmune

[Guest guest]

Add me to the list. I have a rare autoimmune disorder

(Pars Planitis) and still have elevated ANA

(antibodies) that they can't figure out. My

reproductive organs and hormones are all out-of-whack

too, which is why it's unlikely I'd ever be able to

have kids even if I wanted to. (Makes me wonder if I

sabotaged my own body somehow, making it unable to

reproduce because I've always been terrified of

parenthood.)

Add me to the list too. I suffer from chronic fatigue, sleep

problems, constant muscle tension and pain, TMJ, and moderate to

severe back pain (for which I've had surgery that only made

things worse). None of my symptoms are debilitating enough to

diagnose me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia (I

guess I should be thankful for that), but they certainly

interfere with living a " normal " life. Similar to S Leigh, no

doctor has ever really been able to figure out why I struggle

with these things... I've been alternately diagnosed with

narcolepsy, depression, lyme's disease, and " it's all in your

head " , which actually may be the closest to the truth. I also

have Epstein-Barr antibodies although I've never had mono.

Without an " official diagnosis " , I am often greeted with

skepticism by friends, relatives, co-workers, bosses, doctors,

etc. I think most of them think that I'm just " whiny " . BTW, my

nada is diagnosed with fibromylagia and various sleep disorders.

I think she's a KO as well as a BP.

Yep, add me to the list with depression, although since October when I divorced

nada, mine has lifted considerably!

However, this last weekend I thought I was going to die. Turns out I now have

diverticulitis. I seriously think that my weakened intestines occured as a

child when nada would make me take Fletcher's Castoria. It induced terrible

diarrhea.

I never thought much about it until my first dd went to visit her as an infant

and grandnada got really concerned over her

bowel movements. A year or so I found another bottle of that evil stuff in her

cabinet - what you wanna bet she used it on my

child? Regardless, now I will take some responsibilty, tho, to control it with a

better diet and some exercise (not my favorite word).

Try psyllium or pectin to give you dietary fiber. That will help.

I have sleep problems too as well as back pains caused by muscle

blockades, due to the muscle tension; sometimes I am getting tired

too easily and there where few periods in my life, usually after

stressful events, when I could not help to fall asleep - sounds like

a narcolepsy - and my friends and coworkers laughed about it too. I

learned to fight it with coffee, but my body can't take a lot of

coffee for some reason, so I had careful plan, when I will drink

coffee. I also have binge eating disorder for 8 years and gain weight

because of this. Depression ... well never been diagnosed, but never

went to doctor about it. I think I have depression.
