I have Hashimoto’s and chronic pain/myelopathy/neuropathy and fatigue. I take levothyroxine and thyroid hormone controlled but still fatigued. My mom had lupus, RA, Hashimoto’s, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue plus diabetes and heart disease. I watched her struggle with everything and moving was difficult. It seems I am on a similar path at age 55. I do try to eat as good as possible and take vitamins and supplements which helps some but I tend to overeat for my metabolism because I think I use food in hopes it would give me more energy but all it does is make me gain more weight. Reducing inflammation and stress is really important and moving as much as possible is helpful. I just need to be careful not to overdo it because I could easily get hurt (also have balance issues/dizziness). I need to ask for more help doing things but have very limited support so I need to push myself as much as possible. It is all exhausting but we just need to take one day at a time, take as good care of ourselves as possible and get more help/support from those around us and seek it from others.

Thank you so much for responding. I am 52, so we are both way too young to feel like we do. My dad had RA, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, neuropathy in his feet, SEVERE SEVERE gout; I could go on and on. I also grew up watching his struggles. It seems I have taken after him in many ways. I’m glad that I have come across this group to be able to talk to people who actually understand. 🩷
