Countdown to Functional Medicine Bloodwork~
Only Autoimmune Folks will get it...I just saw a functional medical doctor (because why not? I'm sick of getting my symptoms parted out to specialists) and they ran a giant panel of blood and urine. I mean like 10 vials and two different urine samples. I am newly autoimmune (past year) and in treatment based on labs/symptoms but not sure which kind.
I am anxiously awaiting all the results...is there a secret cause to my autoimmune? some mystery virus? and have my abnormal labs gotten worse/better or stayed the same? Duh duh duh...processing! I can't wait. Why is this exciting? I feel the way I do when I buy a lottery ticket. Haha. Like there is no chance of "winning" but I still have that ~feeling~ that something may happen. Could there be a cure to all my pain? I think the odds are about the same as winning the actual lottery. And I am way more likely (statistically and luck-wise) to be struck by lightening. Or just get an autoimmune reveal. :)
