Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid Disease)

It seems like I’ve always been sick.

As a baby diagnosed with asthma. Then came the allergies and the years of shots.

Menstrual issues; migraines; IBS; hypothyroidism; RA; fibromyalgia. Over the decades, it seems as the “newest” seems to be under control, another appears or I get a flare.

Currently it’s a combination of the diagnosed acting up and a battery of tests to discover what’s causing the newest symptoms.

Does anyone ever feel like it’s enough? Or actually, more than enough?

Just found this forum and am so happy to see I’m not crazy and alone. I recently turned 50 and in addition to all the hormonal changes, central hypothyroidism (pituitary malfunction), IBS, anxiety and depression, I have now been dealing with this horrendous and painful condition that honestly blows the others away. After a year of tests to rule out everything else, I’m finally seeing a specialist at Cleveland Clinic next month who has experience with BMS and can hopefully help me find a way to manage the pain. I’ve tried the magic mouthwash, Alpha Lipoic Acid and most recently Nervive at night with little relief but I am now shifting my focus to learn how to live with this (without losing my husband). Thank you all for sharing your stories and hang in there. We can do hard things. ♥️
