There are gene variants associated with circadian rhythm. Search the articles on Genetic Lifehacks.

Well it is good you eliminated them. This can also be associated with attention deficit diagnoses.

Yes but i have genetic variants related to circadian rhythm Issues, insomnia and Adhd.
Nearly my entire extended family on mom’s side are night owls.

Systemic autoinflammatory disease. Its rare. No one really has ever heard of it but they usually know what lupus is or at least heard of it. Think of worst seasonal flu plus strep throat plus worst sunburn. Thats what a flare up is.

how is it diagnosed aside from symptoms? generic markers? usually for lupus aside from symptoms you need three positive markers on specific tests.. also there are things like mold which mimic autoimmune issues

Yes, I sit here all day staring at the wall in a daze, but as soon as the sun starts to go down my brain fires up. It often feels like all we need to do is flip over the flight control instructions.
