Hi All,
It's been a long time since I posted here. Three months ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. For those who aren't aware it is an autoimmune disease which attacks your Thyroid. It has been a very difficult journey so far. I no longer have the energy levels I used to have. I struggle to do simple things like standing for long periods of time. It makes it difficult to take care of simple things such as showering and shaving. I feel like I have physically aged by 30 years. I have horrible fatigue. I take thyroid hormone medication but am on a low dose as I had trouble tolerating a higher dose due to panic attacks. I wasn't sure if there were others who struggled with Hashimoto's. It's difficult to see the life you used to have and see how far things have declined.
I know I am going to have to struggle with this for the long haul. I am hoping and praying there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I was dealing with so much before I got diagnosed. I was struggling with bad anxiety months before this still and depression. It feels like it's amplified both. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read.
