Lauren Johnson's Celiac Blog

I have been seeing doctors since April of this year. I finally got tested for celiacs on Tuesday; I'm still waiting to get the results. I have been sick everyday for the past 8 months. I get rashes all the time. I originally tried to take allergy medicine, but it doesn't help at all. The rashes are sooooooo itchy and even sometimes burn if they get bad enough. After I eat, I feel like I'm getting quick sharp stabs in my stomach. My joints hurt so bad. I feel like I can't even write anymore without having to take a break. I drop things because of the sudden burst of pain in my elbows or wrist. My knees hurt. I am a server who is studying to be an elementary teacher (and so close to having my degree!). Sometimes I get headaches or migraines weekly. I'm losing hair and its gotten to the point where other people are noticing too. I am so frustrated that my body keeps causing me this much pain. I'm anxiously awaiting my diagnosis.  I'm so scared to find out the truth. Is this celiacs? If not then I have no clue what is wrong with me. If it it is celiacs, I am absolutely terrified for the journey.
