Dealing with Autoimmune Diseases: Let's Share Tips!

Hey babes! Joined a couple weeks ago but didn't post anything. I would love to hear from everyone what Autoimmune diseases you/your partner/friend/family is dealing with, how you keep your mental health positive, and if you feel comfortable, any struggles you have. Maybe we can share some good tips! I was diagnosed with Psoriasis at 13, and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) at 14. I'm 36 now. I've been on methotrexate, Humira (sic I think? lol), enbrel, xeljanz, and now costentyx. So many blood draws, x-rays, and MRIs over the years lol. I can't tell you how many friendships and relationships dissolved because of this. If I ended up with a flare and couldn't make an engagement... it could be relationship ending. I'm sure I'm not alone, and I'm definitely not the most eloquent person you'll meet because my reaction now is "F THAT". No one should feel bad about the cards they were dealt in life. How we deal with those situations is what defines us. I truly hope everyone finds treatments/therapies that help them best! ❤️❤️ Ty for reading my insomniac post and I look forward to hearing from you all! Much love 💕 Ladythor

Didn't realize you could only tag 4 topics when I posted lol. Thought there would be a general AD option to hit us all 😥
