"I've been struggling with my autoimmune disease for three years. And now, I'm just feeling the symptoms again. The trigger can be anything, including stress or lots of thoughts.

"I wonder if I have asthma? There's something strange in my lungs. I've had blackouts like I'm going to pass out when I have pain in the pit of the stomach. Every time I have a relapse, I go to the emergency room to check my blood pressure, heart rate, everything, temperature, etc., it's normal. I usually say this I'm tired, but I'm not," said Erika on her YouTube channel.

"A more specific check, finally I was referred to a psychiatric doctor. I felt physical pain, not mental. The doctor said it was generalized anxiety disorder. From the mind it had an impact on the physical. I did a specific check, it was positive for autoimmune," he explained.
