What is normal !?
The questioning and constant assumption of “well you look normal”.
Just because I look like I am in my 20’s yet am actually in my 30’s but internally feel like I’m in my 80’s. (Just an expression, mean no disrespect ) . If I feel internally like I do what will I feel like in a year, maybe two or longer.
Sense being diagnosed I just feel like my world has been turned upside down. Not just one diagnoses but multiple and still having 0 clear understanding of any of it and why ? How ? When ? What ? Where ? Etc
I am used to being everyone’s go to person the fixer. Now I just feel like a rock stuck in a river as everyone else keeps flowing on by with life.
How do you navigate the difficult question of but you look normal, you must be healthy. Trying to explain…
Having autoimmune diseases that aren’t physically always obvious can add to our taxing days already .
