My Autoimmune Disease
People often say your life can change in an instant and I know this to be true, because my life changed in an instant. I was a 16-year-old girl. I was happy. I was well known and well liked. And, I thought I was healthy. In May of my sophomore year of Highschool I was hospitalized and day’s away from dying. The problem was no one seemed to know what was causing me to become so ill so quickly. Through a few miracles and amazing healthcare professionals, I was eventually given a diagnosis; I had a rare autoimmune disease.
I remember being in the hospital with tubes all around me, and a steady stream of oxygen flowing through my nasal cannula. I was weak and beyond pale, and I definitely felt like I was dying. At the age of 16 it was hard to wrap
