so who actually has it tough?!? huh!?! (for reals though, shit condition, hope you stay clear of complications and have good follow-up)

autoimmune diseases suck @Crimsom

The upside of my body trying to kill itself is that my immune system is much stronger than the average person.

the pacemaker issue happened in 2010 so I've been slowly recovering since then @Tinytim

@EndangeredProdigy good to hear

I just have to be careful with how much physical activity I do

gotta "pace" myself amirite

badum-tish

AAAAAY

and you can only eat one brand of salsa

oh no

Did they have you take cyclosporine ?

or not that serious?

I can't remember what medicines they gave me

ouch

c h u n k y

Miss me with that mild shit

I was too young

that hurt

No, that's an immunosuppressant.

oh you weren't talking to me loll

Oh, you were talking to me?

That's what I would expect for an acute auto-immune disease.

Maybe bone marrow transplant.

Hold on, lemme go check at my med just to make sure.

Depends.

or, if you ask Jordan Peterson, just eat some meat

Not sure that meat would help.

I actually wanted to try the meat diet

don't

but I got spooked after all the meat caused palpatations

unless you have a reason to

It's the only thing that worked for his daughter

If your own immune system is attacking you, I am not sure it will always help to switch diets.

my hypothesis is that it's the gut bacteria that are fucking shit up when they get certain foods to eat, and some are just damn unlucky and need to purge as much of it as possible

I think what I take is called Prednisolone.
