What’s a lifestyle change you’ve had to make because of your autoimmune condition?

Having an autoimmune condition can affect your life in many ways due to the unpredictability and fluctuations of symptoms, changes in energy levels, and impacts on your overall health and productivity.

What lifestyle changes have you made because of your health? Why were these changes important to you? How did making them make you feel?

What triggers my Hashimoto’s?

Stress. Food sensitivities. Hormonal shifts. Even old viruses.
Missing Claritin brings back the hives. Processed food drags me down.
Some triggers I can control, some I can’t — but every flare reminds me to listen closer to my body.

Living in the Fog with Hashimoto’s

Lately, I’ve been living in a mental fog — the kind where I question if I’ve taken my meds, or if I just thought I did. I go through the motions, but half the time I feel like I’m on autopilot. My labs were “normal” before my dose increase, but I still don’t feel right.

This isn’t laziness or forgetfulness — it’s what brain fog from Hashimoto’s feels like. Even when you're "in range," you're not always okay.

On top of that, my PTSD makes it even harder to stay grounded and present. The added mental stress just amplifies everything.

I’m doing my best. I’m hopeful this new dose helps. And if you’re feeling the same: you’re not alone. We’re still showing up, even when it’s hard — and that matters. #HashimotosThyroiditis #MentalHealth #PTSD

New here!

I’m a survivor of intimate partner violence and currently living with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, chronic migraines, and neck injuries. For a long time, I felt silenced — in relationship, in medical rooms, even in my own body. Writing has been a way for me to process, reclaim my voice, and connect with others who understand what it’s like to fight battles both seen and unseen.

I’m here to share, listen, and maybe find a little healing along the way. Thank you for having me. #PTSD #HashimotosThyroiditis #Migraine

Looking for answers/support

So I've been dealing with #Dysautonomia #HashimotosThyroiditis #PerniciousAnemia #Spoonie and im young, I just got in my first relationship, and I'm so lucky my partner is understanding and supportive, but I'm realizing how much of a struggle this might be. Any time something gets me super excited/nervous, my heart rate shoots up and I have to struggle not to go limp and pass out. I'm careful to drink water and have food and salt before I have any large emotional moments, so that's all I know to do. Are there any experienced couples out there with tips to manage this? Thank you all so much!

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is WiseCat41. I’m here because I’m having a rough day. I was finally diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases in a whirlwind six weeks after being extremely ill with pneumonia. Now, I’m sick again with the flu, and it feels like the bad days are outweighing the good.I’m worrying constantly—about work, taking care of my 5-year-old son, and trying to be a good partner. Honestly, I feel like I’m failing at everything.I know I’m not alone in this, but it’s so hard to see a way forward right now. How do you find balance or just get through when everything feels like too much?#newlydiagnosed #HashimotosThyroiditis #Narcolepsy #RheumatoidArthritis #CeliacDisease #Parenting #Roughday
