I urge you to think twice before passing judgment and thinking our nation & New Mexico is overreacting to the extra measures being taken to curb the spread of COVID-19.
YOU might be able to recover from it no problem however, carry it to someone with an autoimmune disease and we may not be as lucky.
Quick lesson about autoimmune diseases. It takes an average of three years and five doctors for a person to get a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. It is a disease where instead of your white blood cells protecting your body from invaders, they turn around and attack your cells, tissues and organs. Chronic fatigue is another symptom & can be debilitating. It’s not a cold or the flu, you will never get better, and a nap or rest will not help. Sleeping 10 hours doesn’t leave you well rested, EVER. Sometimes you can’t get out of bed for days. There are last minute changes in plans because that “just got hit by a truck” feeling overcomes you when you least expect it. Painful joints, muscles and bones, dry skin, breaking hair, hair loss, mood swings, and depression are just the tip of the iceberg. You are also prone to having multiple autoimmune diseases, they typically come in pairs of two. You easily catch viral and bacterial infections. You have days where no matter how hard you try, you just can’t smile for anyone.
