    I have been really struggling with my health at the moment, more than usual, with my autoimmune disease. Yesterday my specialist mentioned there is a possibility that I have a very serious side effect of my autoimmune disease. This is the sort of serious complication that has a 5-year mortality of 30-50%, so it is pretty nasty. It is about as bad as it gets with this particular disease. Now I have to go off for further tests and wait about a month to hear. I am trying not to overthink, but then also, surely they wouldn’t have bought up something so nasty unless they were fairly certain, right? I really don’t know what to think about it all, and since I have decided to keep it to myself unless it’s confirmed, I am going to vent to you guys.

        I suppose I am just getting it out of my system chatting to you guys. I don’t want to get too worried cause it seems ridiculous for something not confirmed yet, but it’s hard not to think worst case.

          Of course. I have a rule not to worry until you have to worry but gee that can be hard at times.

          The best thing about this community is you can let loose and you’ve got nothing but support here.

            That is usually my ethos, too, but it’s hard with this one. Still, I know that once I get it out with you guys, I’ll forget about it in a day or two. I do appreciate the support here. It’s why I felt comfortable posting it.

              Waiting for test results is the worst. Vent away here whenever you need to scream into the void.
