I have a long history of Hashimoto's disease (hypo), and just recently diagnosed with: Autoimmune Metaplastic Atrophic Gastritis (AMAG), Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Sjogrens. As a side note they also diagnosed Chronic Rhino Sinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSw/NP) with Eosinophilia and fibromyalgia. It took almost 4 years to get to this point… sooo many different doctors/tests but finally the Mayo Clinic’s program to evaluate undiagnosed problems gave me my answers. They also told me certain autoimmune diseases run in packs. I too was a “lucky” one and have started a larger pack than I wanted :-/
I’m just starting treatments, so still feel like I’m dying inside and the pain, fatigue and brain fog make life very difficult right now. Trying very hard to stay positive but also knowing my old life is gone. I now get to start something new that’s gentler, calmer and more centered on moments instead of stressful, worrisome with constant activities. I will miss my old life but look forward to the new adventures ahead!
