Taking the weekend off

General
TL;DR: Am sick, got bad news, taking the weekend to recharge and doodle hollow knight fan art

Last month I got sick with yet another thing causing chest pain and shortness of breath and was kicked out of work for a week until my covid test results came back. It was negative, but I was still made to stay out for another week despite a trip to the ER saying I'm not contagious with anything. Had some blood tests done, auto immune disease, yay. Doctor thinks it's lupus. Get prescribed stuff that helps and I can breathe, but then I run out of meds and the breathing problem comes back within days. Can't get more meds until I see a rheumatologist
My appointment was yesterday, got poked at, asked questions. He says I'm fine. I'm perfectly healthy. No I'm not, I can't breathe and everything hurts, but OKay. For some reason, he thinks it's my thyroid even though it was fine in my blood tests and I tested ANA positive and I have a large family history of autoimmune disease. No diagnosis, no prescription
Now I don't have any idea of what this could be, no leads, no medication to treat it with, nothing to ease the symptoms, and it's the weekend now so I won't be able to even schedule a follow up with my primary until tuesday. The only thing I can do right now is ~suffer.~ I am tired and angry and need to recharge
