 I'm so sorry. Sending healing vibes and knowledge for doctors to figure out what the f is going on.

I hope you figure it out. Don't let  anxiety from your condition exasperate it.  I will be praying for you.

Looks like a little over a half inch here at home from today’s storms.

Autoimmune usually can be detected on CAT scans, Xrays or Ultrasounds. I have been through multiple rounds of each of those and nothing has detected. 
Nothing of consequence has come up on anything that I've gone through, including bloodwork. 

Depending on which autoimmune it can be very tricky. I have sarcoidosis, my mom has Lupus, my aunt MS. For sarcoidosis non-caseating granulomas on Lymph nodes is the key. The problem lies in that the only way to tell if that is present is through biospy. I had to be out under to get a Endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy. The other issue is that just being sick often causes swollen Lymph nodes. The swollen lymph nodes did show up on my cat scan and partially on the X-ray. My cousin's case is rare because sarcoidosis doesn't usually go to heart. His lymph nodes were not super swollen. The massive inflammation in his heart did not show up on CAT scan at all. As he started deteriorating over months they did a normal 24 hr fasting PET. He was lucky a keen eyed radiologist spotted something barely. Normally you need at least a 48-72hr fasting PET for it to show up well.

Lupus took a year of all kinds of doctors and testing. It wasn't caught till it expressed itself in a rash that would not go away and my mom's dermatologist was able to do a punch biopsy and use Direct Immunofluorescence to confirm it.

I wish well. Your story just brought back memories of myself and family members dealing illnesses that were extremely frustrating and felt all encompassing. The imaging and biospy were just one part of the dx. I also have extended family members with uveitis, Sjögren’s, colitis, Crohn's. All of them were literal hell to get to bottom of. Hope you feel better

I mentioned your symptoms to Mrs. Blizz & she asked if they checked your thyroid levels with any of the testing.

A few years ago, she had episodes of shortness of breath, heart racing & some occasional brain fog. After rounds of various tests, they determined she had a thyroid problem. She is now on the proper medication & has been fine ever since.

Hopefully they figure this out & you get well soon.
