Bloodwork all over the place: Autoimmune, Hypothyroidism, Epilepsy+

Wow! Some of you have a lot going on (“herd of afflictions”). The original poster mentioned having 5 specialists. My only suggestion for this dilemma is to try as much as possible to make sure these specialists are part of the same healthcare system or at least have access to each other’s records. They need to know your whole health history and be willing to collaborate with each other for an integrated treatment plan(s) for you. You sure don’t need to experience any unnecessary complications or contraindications.

True, all but one of my doctors are in the same medical network (including being from many countries, and all sizes, ages, and colors) the outlier can access the info, and I keep her updated. It is also important to research one's maladies and treatments. Doctors don't always know incompatibility of meds/treatments/foods with complex competing afflictions. I've seen the limitations of medicine starting when I was 13 and my ruptured appendix was diagnosed as constipation.
