There is so much going on in my life right now- too much to type. We are still at the in laws, I am still running fevers 3-4 days a week, feeling achy, ringing in ears, heaviness in my legs, etc..
I am now seeing an internal medicine doctor. He suspects I may have Lyme's disease or Lupus. He ran blood work Thursday for 62 different tests and took 9 vials of blood.
He was so kind. He said, " This is not your imagination. You can't fake a fever or weight loss." In his office my temp was 100.9 and he noted that my weight loss was more than 10% of body weight in 14 weeks.
He said, " I will get to the bottom of this. I like a challenge."
He suspects the mold may have been a factor in my health but maybe not the culprit. He said it definitely didn't help.
Anyway, his "instinct" is that this is an autoimmune disease but he isn't sure which one.
Is there anything anyone can tell me about an autoimmune disorder? Anyone here have one??
I miss you all and hopefully, when my house is done ( they are thinking 2 more weeks), I will be back around.
