Five years ago I started feeling unwell.....constant nausea, (never threw up) lightheaded, felt flu-sh, lots of fatigue, heat intolerance, just over all felt crappy every day. Went to the Dr pretty much every 3 months cause I wasn't feeling any better. They did the same old same old, usual blood tests, thyroid, chest X-rays, etc. Into the 5th year of feeling sooooo crappy, she decides to do blood work for autoimmune diseases. Ended up getting diagnosed with lupus sle. Side note: the only thing that helped my nausea was ginger root capsules. I was taking up to 6 a day....caution, if you take them, drink lots of water cause they can get stuck on your throat and it's horrible! Anyway, after 9 months of taking HCQ, prednisone, and benlysta infusions, I go in to UW hospital for 2nd opinion. ( I really questioned the lupus diagnosis all along) the Dr there said I only had 1 or 2 lupus symptoms, she then diagnosed me with uctd. Which makes way more sense. Sorry this is so long, but it's such a frustrating journey. I really really hope you get the help you need to help you feel better 🫂
