"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. The brain can tingle and the head can go bald (these are symptoms that attack my body)," said Erika Carlina to uploaded Tuesday (16/4/2024).
Even though she is in a bad condition, Erika also provides encouragement to other friends who experience similar illnesses. He hopes that other friends will not take this disease lightly. Even though she doesn't look like she's sick, in fact Erika is fighting against her illness.
"Never underestimate autoimmune disease. If you are suffering from it, ask the people around you to be aware of the dangers of autoimmune disease in you first. So that you and those around you will be more aware," said Erika Carlina.
Erika Carlina then attached a YouTube video which was uploaded in July 2020. The star of the film Sosok Tiga also talked about how she was initially diagnosed with autoimmune disease. Keanu Agl's friend revealed that at first he felt short of breath, his hands were sweaty and it was difficult to move his lips when talking.

"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.
Wanting to find out more about the illness he was suffering from, he went to several other doctors to carry out more specific checks. However, instead he was referred to a psychiatrist. Initially he refused to come, but after consulting with another doctor, it was discovered that a connection was found if the anxiety disorder he was experiencing had an impact on his health condition. It is known that Erika was diagnosed with autoimmune disease.

"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.
