after spending a bunch of time and money over the last six months trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with me— urgent care, immunologist, naturopath, obgyn, blood panel, scratch test, pee test, poop test, ultrasound— apparently i am *just* stressed. it is one thing to feel emotionally stable, but i am learning that your body can disagree. early this year an urgent care doctor suspected i was having an anaphylactic shock and stabbed me with epinephrine. i had no known allergies. when i went to an immunologist afterwards my body reacted to every single item on the allergy test— i had a hyperactive histamine situation. since then whenever things got unusually stressful (war and authoritarianism to further exacerbate) spots on my body would swell and itch. i am pretty level about it now; its been a minute. when people say stress could kill you, i didn’t think they meant potentially your face and throat swell up and your heart pumps on turbo trying to keep up with your dropping blood pressure to prevent a cardiac arrest. we just have a culture that feels pretty cute about stress. i was astonished that stress looked so unflattering. i don’t know why i’m telling this story now (other than to try out the extra character count). more time spent listening to blasting music in a fetal position can be good for you. i was pretty misguided to think mental tenacity alone could see you through. you can will your way into many things but sometimes you can’t will your way out of high histamine and low cortisol.

I feel this so much. There was a time I thought I had high blood pressure and some other things going on. I’d wake up and immediately start sweating, feel gross and have a racing heart beat. My doctor was like nah, I think this is happening just by you waking up and anticipating work and the day, etc. She was right… I’m thankful for now having a way to manage it.

I relate to this so much. 10 years ago I went through the exact same thing, except it took me 5 years to convince myself, multiple doctor visits, 2 surgery, multiple MRI and some other stuff.... It's no fun. =/ Sincerely hope your stress gets better soon 🙏

It’s unfortunate that stress is seen as a badge of pride in our society. What a world to live in. Take care of yourself! I care about you 🫂

As someone who’s habitually dealt with high levels of stress through mental tenacity, I’ve also come to realize that it is of no use if the body can’t follow. And it gets more obvious with age. Sending you lots of love and good vibes

haven't experienced to the severity of what you experienced but my body reacts to stress similarly. lot of inflammation and occasionally i'll break out into hives. > get stressed > high cortisol > see physical manifestations of stress > get more stressed 🥲

I hope you’re feeling better! I noticed you didn’t mentioned MRI and advanced imaging. I know women with Endo that were told the same thing and after MRI the picture was more clear. Also have you ever tried Tai Chi and Chi Kung? I learned Flying Phoenix Chi Kung and it has been extremely helpful during high intensity moments. Happy to share more if you’re interested.

I've had a very similar experience. Less severe but just as real, with the same realization that you can't just suck it up. Life'll kill ya. 💜
