Virus and flaring but not breaking

Encouragement / Personal Win

So I was diagnosed with Iga Vasculitis almost a year ago and I’m currently going through a cold virus. This is the first virus I’ve had in a year and I’ve been nervous all day waiting for a serious flare. My doctor said infections can flare it but to stay strong and remember a few dots on the skin is no biggie. Don’t even bother with the colchicine unless it gets really bad. Well I want to say I got a few dots on my foot but I didn’t let the paranoia and hospital PTSD get to me. I’ve got a long way to go with recovery and it sucks being sick but I’m so happy I didn’t lose it this time. This wasn’t the best day but it definitely wasn’t the worst.
