I went to my doctor to try and figure out my chronic pain and they did a bunch of blood test and one of the test was positive for and autoimmune disorder it just didnt say which one so they sent me to a rheumatologist only problem rheumatologist are realy hard to get an appointment for like the one they sent me to wouldnt be able to see me till next year-

So I call every rheumatologist in the area to see if I can get an appointment sooner and eventually I get an apointment and they do an exam and run a few test and after all that-

I-

I fucking forget I had that-

So this whole thing was for nothing and we still dont know why im in pain-
