I do not know what category to put this reply into but here goes. I have three autoimmune diseases but now I have another big problem. Besides having all my other medical issues I have hypothyroidism for about thirty years AND NOW HAVE secondary hyperparathyroidism. Talk about your ups and downs. The paperwork from Quest shows I have had this for over two years and have been complaining to the nephrologist of the symptoms and pain but was told all is fine. Soooooo naturally I went to another doctor who immediately took tests which revealed the diagnosis. This took two years of not working with this problem and has placed me in the kidney category of stage four. Which could have been prevented if the doctor would have told me so I could watch my diet and etc. so to stop this progression. I now have worse eye problems and think I have TED thyroid eye disease due to the hyperparathyroidism. Again, there are no doctors in my county who address this diagnosis. Losing more eyesight. It is now taking away the enjoyment of watching television. Not much else to live for but I do still want to live. Is there an angel out there for me?
