just got my ANA results back. theyre positive and the titers are pretty high. basically just a massive vent about test results & my future.
1:640 homogeneous, 1:160 speckled, and 1:640 nuclear dot. at least i know that im not just being lazy or that its just because im fat, but confirming that it's probably autoimmune... feels bad, yknow? im glad my results showed SOMETHING, but being glad about that also makes me feel like im just trying to fake it.
i dont want to be sick for the rest of my life. im not even 18 yet. i already have mental issues that fuck me over and make it hard for me to leave the house, and now i have physical issues on top of that. i get dizzy, sweaty, and my whole body hurts when i do too much physical activity (like walk around a walmart for less than an hour.) i get hot flashes and night sweats. i get constant back pain. and now this. why does my body have to feel like im a teenager in an old woman's body. /rhetorical
hopefully they can narrow down what exactly is wrong. my TSH and thyroid peroxidase antibody tests were normal, so im glad it probably isnt my thyroid.
can yall help me understand this? 16F
im waiting on results for an ANA, t4, thyroid peroxidase, and peripheral smear atm. my TSH was in a normal range & these were the only abnormal values on my last blood test. ive been looking online about this but its hard to understand :') ive been dealing w/ fatigue & pain in my muscles and joints, but not anything too specific, tbh. thanks in advance for any replies!
the amount of blue alerts thats been sent out today HAS to be a record or something
looking online, theyve sent out at least NINE FUCKIN ALERTS since 5pm. this is getting a little ridiculous!!! also, i noticed that in the news about the 2 murders, hobbs was originally reported as 17. then, in the first few alerts, they reported him as 19. now the alerts are saying hes 18. his "last seen in" outfit also changed from a camo jacket and black pants, but at the time of writing theyre saying hes wearing a black hoodie and grey pants. how yall gonna update what he was last wearing if the last seen time is the exact same????
edit: i just realized theyre different people (the names are way too similar), but my point still stands that this is a ridiculous amount of alerts.
