Im not your doctor and even a doctor cant make promises like that, but i will tell you as someone with bad medical anxiety; hyper-focusing on your health problems will make them consume your life! I truly do hope youre not “progressing”, as i would hope your doctor would have done appropriate testing to rule out those types of things. But prolonged anxiety about your health can also make you feel like youre “getting worse”.

sending love from another chronically ill baddie. Catching COVID in 2020 and 2021 made my EDS and comorbidities so much worse and I was not coping well (which why should I??) with how much of my life I was missing. I finally turned a corner and am doing better than I was before. Great things can happen, and I hope they happen to you too.

Talk to your doctors honestly about your concerns, if they dont listen, find a new one (id ask for a referral for a second opinion, finding a brand new doctor without one is crazy hard rn).
