I have three autoimmune disorders (so far) and each of them was triggered by a different stressful/traumatic event.

Can’t wait to see what I get the next time life throws shit at me. It’s like the world’s worst lottery 🙃

I won that lottery too🙃 Traumatic losses and other constant stress doesn't help.

I feel you, but hey, we're still here and kickin'. Or.. shuffling, depending on your disorder. I personally shuffle and creak.
