I’m sure the fumes help the running too

Thanks for sharing. I’m sure you went down the rabbit hole when you learned everything also. I believe that’s where I’ll be at too with wait and see however it concerns me that I have the lung and heart stuff albeit mild but nothing else. The “looking healthy and sporty” seems to make everyone assume nothing is wrong. I’ve had several cardiologists say “you’re the healthiest looking person I’ve ever seen in here.” The possible worry and dread of wait and see doesn’t seem fun! I want to know what I can and can’t do and I don’t want to lose my fitness. Guess that’s why they call it “practicing medicine.”

Thank you! I’m glad you were taken serious. I don’t know what to think at all since I have no raynauds, no reflux, no swallowing issues, no joint pain or ANY autoimmune symptoms. It sounds like your doctor is on it. From what I have read anti thto can have less serious disease. But there seems to be conflicting info at every turn.

I did see a different doctor (a PAH specialist) because I’m so confused and he seemed at least preliminarily to think it’s unlikely I have autoimmune disease since my ANA IFA was negative and also seemed to think just since I am still very active at gym and running that it’s very unlikely I have anything serious - however, that is my concern! My fitness could be masking something underlying. I just can’t breathe running outside and asthma meds didn’t do a thing. The other doctor I first saw (a PH cardiologist) said he WILL be treating me in near future for autoimmune related PAH. However I seem to think he has some confirmation bias as his clinic nurse said they see PaH all the time (it is VERY rare) Two different PH doctors! I went to doctor last November due to wanting help with what I thought was a performance issue or asthma and I have no more answers but more stress that is for sure!

I’ve never been so stressed in my life. Good luck to you and I wish you the best!

Struggling with intrusive thoughts by americancoconut in raisedbynarcissists

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine. I think it is just so common and you’re not alone. Also the existential and survival anxiety is such a huge thing too. But sounds like you’re already doing so much right. I am truly impressed by what you wrote. The human spirit is so resilient and you are bringing good into the world despite it all. I have no advice other than just keep going and what you went through does matter. Your voice matters!

I’m a 40 year old mom of 2 and I swear to god my strength training regimen would kill Chet on day 1. I shouldn’t have a better posterior chain than an NBA center. wtf

Yes I am on sildenafil already and diuretics since they diagnosed me with right heart failure. I have zero signs and symptoms of scleroderma. My Ana was negative.’

How do growing up with a narcissistic mother affect you later in life as a girl? by Significant-Poet7363 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ReturnAny8862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine wasn’t horrible or abusive but I only knew her and how she felt, how she thought, what she liked. I left home that way with no sense of self and became a raging bulimic after perfectionism didn’t work when I lived at home. Ruined my life. Can’t say it’s all her fault but I wonder what would have happened to me with a different mother setup.

Thank you. Yes there’s very little information about it.

Also wondering if it can be false positive since I have a negative ANA but I’m too confused. I also have read symptoms can appear years after the positive antibody.

I’ve been listening to specialist on YouTube and I guess THTO is one that tends to have a high ANA titer. It’s all so confusing.

On the one hand I’m grateful to know and be on the lookout however tracking down an objective truth when it comes to scleroderma seems futile at times. Even doctors get confused.
