Quick lesson about autoimmune diseases.
It takes an average of 3 years and 5 doctors for a person to get a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease.
It would be great if more people understood what an autoimmune disease is. It is not a cold or the flu, and even a nap will not help. Just eating a salad and hitting the gym won’t slim your face or get the pounds off that you may have gain as a result of taking the medication you needed. Sleeping 10 hours doesn’t leave you well rested. Last minute changes in plans because that “just got ran over” feeling never makes appointments. Achy joints and bones, dry skin, breaking hair, mood swings, and depression are just the tip of the iceberg. You are also prone to having multiple autoimmune diseases and have days where no matter how hard you try, you just can’t smile for anyone.
Exercise, therapy and a good support system are vital.
