Autoimmune Something

What makes you suppose you're this type of screen-based healer? It's absurd how you come across while handing out recommendations.

Thanks. The rest of the tests really did not show anything. My main worry is that with so little to go on the doctors will keep brushing off the symptoms. Years of being dismissed are probably making me extra sensitive right now.

I'm wondering whether something I've said has upset you in some way. Could it be my opinions on certain compounds or my views on politics? I can't figure out why some replies to my posts come across as rude instead of tackling the points I actually made. My way of writing comes from having a background in medicine along with the time I've put into studying studies, particularly those around GLP medications. I usually try to steer clear of offering health recommendations except when it comes to amounts and reactions with those specific drugs, given my own experience and the reading I've done. If something looks like a possible concern I tend to suggest checking with a physician or mention some thoughts on excess weight, slimming down or problems that can follow.

The titer is listed as 1:320 and the repeat came back 1:640. Every other test stayed negative. My PCP said today that without finding the source of the symptoms they cannot treat them, so I will probably just have to live with it until more damage shows up on tests. No false positives appeared in the bloodwork. Scans are next. I think there is a good chance I will simply be told to live with it and return later for more testing, but that is still better than being gaslit. I just wish the rheumatologist and PCP would stop bringing up menopause since my hormones look fine.

Have they tested for Hashimoto's too? Doctors rarely check that one, and it took me more than fifteen years to suggest it and get the test done. Could celiac be involved? It might explain a positive result. Glad the rest came back clear, so no major issues there. Not knowing feels frightening, yet concentrate on avoiding those big problems. Do you have hypermobility perhaps? It often leads to aches in the joints. Wishing you improved health and some clarity soon 🙂

It sounds like you probably will not get a diagnosis right now, and maybe not unless symptoms or repeat labs change. That outcome is common but still frustrating. A couple of years ago my neck and upper chest suddenly turned dark red with no explanation. Despite research, doctor visits, blood tests, biopsies, specialists, and more biopsies I never got answers or treatment and it is still there. It is annoying but thankfully not dangerous. Doctors can gaslight patients and the menopause comments remind me that medical sexism persists. Still, it is difficult to know what to tell someone when there may simply be no diagnosis available yet.

I'm dealing with the exact same problem since getting over the virus. Wishing recovery comes your way soon. This feels awful. Could you share what compounds you've used already, any results you saw from them, or any you're thinking about trying for particular goals?

They are more on the radar since I have not tried them yet. Things like TA1, VIP, and then symptom-related ones such as DSIP, Epi, SS-31.

I don't think TA1 works well with autoimmune problems since that would just increase the activity you want to avoid. KPV appears superior in that it balances the immune response instead of stimulating it, especially regarding cytokines such as TNFa, IL-1, and IL-6.
