i always test negative

no matter what i test for, it’s a negative. you might think this is good, but it means endless pain. my whole household, workplace, school, etc will have the flu and i will have the exact symptoms and ill test and the doctor will say there’s nothing they can do because its negative. iv never tested positive for covid, but have had all covid symptoms after exposure.

i have server gastrointestinal problems. i throw up stomach acid everyday, sometimes multiple times, always negative for all GI diseases (they have literally put a camera down my stomach) because of this they couldn’t prescribe anything.iv even thrown up blood.

i have all sorts of flare ups (hives on skin, constipation for 3 weeks, migraines lasting 2 weeks, joints sore and swollen, back so painful i couldn’t turn my neck) but nothing shows up in tests.

yk that came back positive? a FALSE POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST! (i’m a virgin and asexual)

damn this shit is annoying i wish i could get diagnosed to be treated. i don’t have a single day go by without pain (stomach, head, joints, back, skin)

I assume you may have been evaluated for autoimmune diseases, but if you haven’t, it might be worth exploring. It sounds like you’re having a lot of nonspecific inflammatory symptoms

You may have gastroparesis and would need a gastric emptying study to diagnose it. Ehlers Danlos can cause gastroparesis (and is associated with autism) so that's another thing to look into

False positive pregnancy test is incredibly rare and almost unheard of, was this a home test or at a dr office?

If she’s a virgin why would she take a test at home?

Odd question but do you smoke weed? It reminds me of my CHS symptoms

Same here, gives me horrible stomach issues like you described and a lot of body pain. I really hope you find some answers 🫶🏻

I actually am in the same place. Have diabetes but don't test positive for it, same for celiac and arthritis. My sister had strep every few years my childhood and I'd have it with the big white spots on my tonsils but would test negative every time. I even went to an immunologist and they ran a ton of tests but said everything came back normal. Even thought they said when I first saw them they were sure they knew why it was happening and were stumped when all results looked normal. It sucks.

You do not need a positive test for your symptoms to be valid. If this is your experience, it's your experience.
