Sjogren's, Hashimoto's and Thyroid Dysfunction: Got questions

Posted by judithmhol @judithmhol, Jun 3, 2020

I was diagnosed with both of these autoimmune diseases last year. Due to thyroid dysfunction. Or the thyroid dysfunction was due to the auto immune diseases. No one’s been able to tell me which comes first? But I’ve had everything from hives all over my back, to scalp irritations and horrible itching, the skin on my face has aged five years in the last year it seems as though. At any rate I also have been on a PPI acid inhibitor, which depleted any Vitamin/enzyme Resources I might’ve had due to the lack of stomach acid. I have had to take a crash course in thyroid medicine and I’ll kinds of things. I wonder if anyone out there has gone through anything like this I’m sure I’m not the only one.

At the ER again over rib a spasms and thyroid. Had a good medical student give me a thorough exam. They referred me to a neurologist since my guy won’t take me till October. They also did a thyroid test and it’s almost where it’s supposed to be. Thank you Jesus finally. I also went to physic ward for a evaluation. I’m not crazy just a lot of anxiety over not getting help. Just keep on trucking I guess.
