February 11, 2017. The day that my life changed forever.

I woke up in excruciating pain, which would later be diagnosed as Ankylosing Spondylitis.

I was 21 years old when this started. I was terrified and isolated myself because I had no idea of what was happening to my body.

Every year I make a cake for my”Painiversary”. This is my 9th cake! I’m happy with how it turned out. Something to make the day a little more… fun 💖🎂

Have you ever done this or something similar?

A terrible thing to say to someone who’s chronically ill: “But you don’t look sick!”.

I am ALWAYS sick. Even if I look “normal” to you. Even when I’m out and about, having fun. I’m never not chronically ill. Sorry to tell ya.

A small little recap of the undiagnosed era of my life

Been going down memory lane to 2017 (even though the trend rn is 2016) and decided to share this.

Today I finally got my medical records back to send to my new family doctor.

It’s 545 pages. That was a shocker.

I’ve been told I’m a complicated case before. I know I am. I just kind of forgot how crazy things were at the beginning, and have been ever since.

I intend to read them all. I just read through my entire year of being undiagnosed and read the diagnosis page. I needed to take a break.

Things were absolutely crazy from Feb 2017 to Feb 2018 — my family doctor was amazing and we were so desperate for answers, she was sending referrals and tests results everywhere.

2017 was also the year I decided to talk to my doctor about my depression I’d had since high school. It was a lot.

It’s a lot to read and remember and re-live.

But I’m here. I’m here and still fighting every day for more answers. I had genuinely forgotten what it was like back in 2017. That was an incredibly scary time in my life and I’m so glad I found good doctors that would believe me and lead me to a diagnosis.

Anyways, sorry this is long — I just had to talk about it.
