[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point I assume it’s autoimmune . Did you have CoVID this year ? It can trigger latent autoimmune disorders. Ask for a blood panel to check sedimentation rate, RF factor, ANA, titre, etc. Maybe Chrons or IBS. [/quote]

Yes, I had Covid in Feb and was sick for an entire month. Please explain a little more.

I then had a booster shot -- Pfizer -- in May.

I'm trying to understand whether the autoimmune will be permanent or will recover naturally?[/quote]

Many people who have autoimmune disease only find out later in life when something “triggers” it and start experiencing symptoms. Covid is such a shock to the system it is possible that it triggered a dormant autoimmune disease in your system. Your symptoms, including now the fecal blood test, are consistent with autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s, possibly also IBS. You’ve ruled out so many other possibilities that I am nearly certain at this point that is what you’re dealing with. Since you’re Ashkenazi, you also have a more complex health profile and it would not surprise me at all if you discovered this is an autoimmune disease. [/quote]

Oh and to add- no, you don’t “recover” as they’re lifelong BUT if you’re diagnosed they can put you on immunosuppressants and biologics that control your symptoms. I believe right now you’re untreated and experiencing an AI flare. Diagnosis will be key. Get the autoimmune blood panel to see your ANA, C-reactive protein, Rheumatoid factor, sedimentation rate. You can order these yourself on walk in labs dot com, go to your nearest Quest labs to get the blood drawn and they’ll send you a report that will allow you to at least see if you’re within or outside a normal range for these things. It is a start at knowing where to go next for diagnosis. I think you need a rheum who works closely with GI doctors. [/quote]
