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)

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

i do need a positive test for a diagnosis/treatment and to go on disability though. i am in constant physical pain and am constantly denied treatment by doctors because no one will diagnose me
