#hashimotos disease

[emmuffins]

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.

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?

the relationship between an autoimmune girl and her bed and her fluffy blankets and her cats and her fluffy socks and her candles and her bedside snacks and her pile of unread books and her pile of trash and her unread notifications and her clothes she’s worn a week straight and her crippling fear that shes broken and will never be okay and her

btw being tired all the time is NOT normal!! i just thought it was burn out or usual mid-day fatigue or maybe just lack of restful sleep or any other excuse but i actually have an autoimmune disease lol despite getting regular bloodwork done, i was surprised that my TSH level were never analyzed in my panels. this is me urging you all who have accessibility to bloodwork to get your TSH tested and especially if you think you have hashimoto's disease like me, see if you have any antibodies!!

i have felt like this for so long and it is often dismissed, it was until my period starting being irregular and i started having heart palpitations that i was taken seriously. i am so angry, frustrated, sad, and don't even know where to begin to navigate this chronic disease, but i'm hoping seeing a specialist and making lifestyle adjustments (gluten-free, more superfoods specific to thyroid, increasing supplements, more weighted workouts aside from just cardio, MANAGING STRESS) will maybe make me normal again whatever that means

anyways, if anybody has hashimoto's resources, naturopathic alternatives, complementary and integrative recommendations, or overall thyroid wellness tips i'd love to hear because i just keep scaring myself the more information i digest and i need some reassurance lol

Just because I’m in clean clothes, showered & my house is tidy, doesn’t mean I’m fine & couldn’t possibly be disabled. It means I saved up a few days worth of energy to get all that done & am wiped out for another 3-5 days. But sure, I’m not disabled.

Lately swallowing has felt weird. My voice fades in and out. I wonder if the thing in my throat is progressing.

......gosh, the more research I do about my hashimotos disease....

The more I feel tempted to buy some land and farm to just grow food that is healthy and not processed.... Just healthy food and have regular exercise....

If anyone else out there has hashimotos do you feel this way????

It's an expensive disease....

Since when was natural food so expensive?!

So essentially, it's a healthy non-processed food diet .... And well regular exercise, but good exercise.

Even a cheese burger gives me flare ups and swelling.... If it's got weird processed ingredients it literally causes pain along with other problems... And here I am addicted to coca cola....... Sobs

Gosh dang it.

Anyone else with hashimotos who understands?! Please let me know! What advice is there? Cause I don't want to be a almond mom.... Or worse a hyperchondriac

This article really hits home about POTS.

"...looking fine on the outside, but feeling like death on the inside."

The best way to describe day to day life is that it feels like my body is decaying while I'm still in it. 🤬 This article says that the average time to diagnosis for POTS is 5 years and 10 years so I am very grateful that it only took me about 2 years 8 months but was suspected around 2 years (while doctors took their sweet time being idiots 🙄). My Lyme doctor called it first 🤣

Hey y’all!

I’m about to make a website for an organization I’m creating to help those with hidden/invisible disabilities and illnesses.

I want to be able to make this website accessible for people with all types of conditions and wanted to reach out on here to get any suggestions from people with those types of conditions.

I also created an Instagram for the organization but it’s still in the very early stages so I won’t be sharing yet…

Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions!

Life's a bitch, then you keep living

My life's Story

Every day is filled with unknowns

will I be Okay today?

will I be sick today?

Will I fall today?

will I die Today?

I never know

It's the most terrifying thing in the whole world

I hope that things will get better

although I have been told that might not ever happen

How can you be hopeful in a world where Iam looked at as useless

In a world where my intellect means nothing

The physical is what I "Need"

I can't run

I can't walk welI

I can't Use my hands well

I can use my brain

I can use my experiences to help others

I want to help others

Sadly, the world does not agree

as I am disabled

I know I said a bad word

One that makes people uncomfortable

I am doomed by something I have no control over

I wish the world saw past my physical

Saw Who I am

They never will though

They only will ever see my disability

Not me

Maybe one day

Sadly Not today

I wrote this poem as a way to get my frustrations out
