Hair loss, achey joints, hives
Posted 6 minutes ago
Hi! Long story short, I used to work on a cruise ship (hectic schedule) and one day I started feeling really sick. I felt achey in my lower back spine area and then my face got really itchy. It swelled up and I broke out in hives all over my body. I had a high fever. The doctors on board thought it was an allergic reaction. This went on for weeks. My contract ended and the hides subsided. I then had to get a biopsy on my cervix (not related), and when I got home I had severe cramping, I threw up, my scalp started burning, my hair started falling out, and once again I was covered in hives. I went to an allergist who took bloods and discovered my ANA was positive. I went to a rheumatologist who tried convincing me it was allergies but tested me for autoimmune disorders. Nothing came back positive. I basically gave up and just put up with the hives. I got a new job as flight crew which I'm able to get adequate rest with, but recently I worked two red eye flights in a row and started feeling ill. I got naseuous, went to bed, woke up with hives on my face and stomach, and my scalp burning and hair falling out. I was also so achey I felt like I had run a marathon. I'm so discouraged. I can't find anything online about this. The only thing I know for sure is it happens whenever my immune system is compromised and I'm exhausted. My next plan is to go see a Lyme literate doctor as I had Lyme as a child and think maybe it recurs when I'm sick. Any input would be appreciated. If its any help, I'm female and 24 years old.
