#Hashimoto disease

[sintanic]

you call it mentally and chronically ill, I call it getting most out of the 130€/month I pay for health insurance taxes 😎

How do u not crave sweet? I’m losing my mind. I didn’t know how much birth control was helping for my pcos. I’m literally losing my shit right now. But at the same time I don’t want to take brith control for the rest of my life.

Istg this sendromes and diseases are fucking annoying

I wish all chronically ill and disabled people a very “doctors listening to you” November

What really interesting is on Hashimoto disease is, you can be plus size or totally thin. Some want to lose weight other want to gain some.

So this whole thin is healthy don't work.

I don’t WANT to lie around all day. It’s not “relaxing” or “peaceful” or “restorative”; I’m Miserable.

I WANT to be at my job.

I WANT to hang out with my friends.

I WANT to clean the apartment.

I WANT to FEEL BETTER.

Me: I don't think my chronic illness is bad today! :D I mean I just have a little pain—

Me as soon as I get home:

[blitzsicedcoffee]

So let's see, what can I do to manage my chronic conditions:

-Destress (HAH uhhh we live in capitalism)

-Try a diet designed to get rid of inflammation (okay but how do I do that on $200 a month, I'm poor)

-Get mild exercise (Okay if my heart could stop having palpitations and my fatigue could let me I would)

-Have healthcare (easier said than done, especially if you don't live in a state with easy Medicaid)

-Apply for Disability (LMAO like it's easy)

I'm not even making excuses. This is real fucking life.

So I have a question for others with diagnosed hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome

When I was diagnosed, the doctor said to me that there are no pain meds that can help with my pain that he is willing to give me because the only ones strong enough to work are highly addictive or can make you “high as a kite” in his words.

Has anyone else been told this? I mean it’s true low level pain meds don’t work on my joint pain but still, is there anything?

[charlies-a-ghost]

what do I say when it will never get better

[swagging-back-to]

it should be a cut and dry case if you go to a restaurant and get glutened by them. and by case i mean criminal. not just suing for damages and distress.

me: hey faulty thyroid have some meds

thyroid: no work. Low levels.

my doctor: Increase dose?

thyroid: your heart is racing

doctor: let’s go down

thyroid: I’m so low that your sick

Doctor: Heart is good. Go up on dose and wait?

Thyroid: I am very high in some categories and much too low in others

doctor: huh? Lol wait what??

me: balls!

Doctor: putting you on wait list for expensive and scary endocrinologist.

thyroid: hehe. I win

Update: my endocrinologist is super nice! We found the right dosage. My Hashimoto’s is in remission and I’m feeling pretty good. I have some cysts on my thyroid but they are not cancerous and are super tiny. I’m still having some problems with my vitamin levels and a few hormone imbalances but everything is better overall and we are still problem solving.

Being able to whine about my process was cathartic. Thanks yall

Fatigue feels like you have sandbags tied to your feet while trying to walk. It feels like you haven’t slept in weeks. It feels like gravity is pulling you down. It feels like cotton balls are in your head, clouding everything.

Fatigue is NOT the equivalent to being tired.

Ohohoho! Stuck in bed with a major flare up!

Haven't had one of these bad boys in a while! Super swollen and everything hurts!

Took extra tumeric pills and as the 80's song goes, all I need is a miracle!

Don't have much strength in my hands so I can't really do line work, so gently sketching and watercoloring designs!

Because I am a stubborn and prideful mule, so I told my husband I am making a children's book on my own in 1 bloody month!

Thanks to a lot of recommendations from you lovelies I'll use Amazon for my first try! And I got my family's support, so I'll be working on mpo and a children's book series.... Because money lol

So anyhow, December I start the official story book December first.

But since I'm stuck here in pain might as well design a few characters the best I can...

Hashimoto's sucks ....
