    Tell me about it. My flare up started months ago and I’ve dropped a clothing size. Everything I have is baggy on me now. It’s been so bad that I’m being put onto immune suppression medication in the hope I don’t have flares again. I also have autism traits like sensory issues and being unable to make eye contact as well as poor reading of social ques.

      I’ve also had stomach issues that cause sudden, rapid weight loss, and it all started with some weird food poisoning, but that sounds horrific. I realize how fortunate I am, now, and wish you the best and speediest healing.

      Sounds like a state of permanent fight or flight causing chronic inflammation.

      My recommendation based on similar issues would be to expand your working memory so that the world is less overwhelming. This will reduce your level of danger preparedness which will reduce your inflammation.
