inflammation

I was wondering if anyone else has flare-up…cycles? If so, do you know why?
For me, I have GI symptoms, muscle and joint symptoms, and neurological symptoms associated with my condition. When I begin a flare up, the GI symptoms flare at once, then once that flare ends, it triggers a joint flare, then when that one ends, it triggers the neuro flare up. Like, each category has to flare before the whole thing is over. Is there a reason? #autoimmune #chronic #Seizure #GastrointestinalDiscomfort #Jointpain #Inflammation

It's off to university today for me. I'm studying for a part time masters while also working almost full time in the NHS. Uni days are always really enjoyable but tiring. Before my diagnosis I wouldn't have appreciated how much something as simple as being somewhere different would affect my condition. This is my third day at Uni and the biggest problem is my back. I don't have my specialist desk chair or my sit stand desk at Uni. 4 days in a normal chair and my back is feeling horrible. I also notice over the 3 days that my inflammation markers go up resulting in swelling to my hands and feet. Today we have a presentation assessment. I'm just hoping that my ILO is OK and I don't start coughing during it.
It's not all bad though, I get to spend 3 days with some lovely people and I've discovered even at 51 there's still lots to learn. This evening and tomorrow it will be important to be kind to myself. I'll need time to rest my mind and my body.

Chills, sweating, feel like I should be in the hospital! Ahh! All over aching and inflammation. Any suggestions that help you feel better? Hydrating, resting, doing all that.

At the end of the month I see a Neurologist, for many reasons. To name a few recent symptoms.. optical neuritis, tingling/numbness/loss of sensation, and bladder incontinence at times. I'm really scared, I mean I knew this was coming but I'm worried. Not scared of actual visit...just any bad results.

Any advice when visiting this doctor? Thanks in advance. #ChronicPain #Undiagnosed #RareDisease #Arthritis #Migraines #AutoimmuneDisease #Anxiety #OpticNeuritis #Neuropathy #PeripheralNeuropathy #raynauds #ChronicIllness #Inflammation #BrainFog #droppingeverything #donatingmybodytoscience

My flair ups are debilitating and i am at a loss the quality of life stinks but I'm staying positive believing this to will pass. i am seeking a group to help get through this as you may all know it is very difficult and most people don't understand it.

so that's my short version of my story.
