To be sick in this way is to have the unpleasant feeling that you are impersonating yourself. When you’re sick, the act of living is more act than living. Healthy people, as you’re painfully aware, have the luxury of forgetting that our existence depends on a cascade of precise cellular interactions. Not you. For those of you who, as I do, have these strange and inexplicable (to untrained providers) ongoing symptoms; those of you who know that you have autoimmune disease; those of you who have one of the more commonly recognized autoimmune diseases, like arthritis and colitis; and to those who have a loved one with this pervasive condition, this article will give you some validation and also some smart suggestions for coping and possibly a bit of hope for when you flounder. Autoimmune disease is on the forefront of medical discovery.... this is why people think you are crazy or annoyingly sensitive or hypochondriac. Hang on, please. You have something to offer regardless the condition of your physical body. newyorker/magazine/2013/08/26/whats-wrong-with-me
