Over a year out from the Covid vaccine and I still do no have enough energy or motivation to take on diagnosing and treating of two of the three autoimmune diseases. When I had my first overwhelming attack of Hashimotos, I was bed riddem for two years and just basically vegged the whole time. Until this old physical psychological breakdown, I was a busy practicing psychologist in private practice. I took a two year sabbatical and just lay around unable to do anything more than absolute basics. I was never diagnosed or treated, but eventually I started seeing a few clients as something was shifting. I was 38 years younger and the disability knocked completely on my butt for 2 years. Had to take a sabbatical from my private pschology practice. What I am going through now is somewhat similar like being a deep black hole of no physical or psychological energy or motivation, but worse because of the long list of additional physical problems on top of the Hashimotos and my 89 years of age. There is no conserving energy because i am off the scale in low energy. I am always happiest with my head on a pillow in bed. Added to all the problems, I've had open heart surgery with a valve replacement and double kidney infections which are incipient, always there, but barely suppressed because of the weekly infusions of gamma globulin, plus a list of other serious issues. I am so nonfunctional, I am living with my son, and can barely get up the stairs to make a meal. Son has been kind and helpful, doing much of the physical stuff for me. Somehow, I have the sense that there can be a recovery. I have ordered magnets because of stories of healing from similar diseases. I am open to suggestions. My former house and present bedroom are like an alternative pharmacy for having tried so many different types of over the counter stuff, hoping for a miracle. If anyone has found new sources of energy, I am open to stories of healing. Appreciate all who are reaching out or concerned.

Have you seen youtube videos about nutrition protocol for autoimmune? Improving your microbiome might provide a miracle healing or at least improvement in how you feel. Don’t rely on information from just one youtube video, watch as many as you can and start making small modifications to your protocol. A good one to look at is Dr. Terri Wahl’s but don’t stop there. Keep making small changes towards getting more veggies, fruits and less processed foods.

Hi, I do have a comments about using magnets. 10 yrs. ago I was suffering from terrible neck pain, diagnosed with “arthritis “ pinched nerves needing to have cervical surgery.. I refused surgery and continued to suffer used all kinds of alternatives including Chinese meds.
We attended a street fair where I tried on a strong magnet bracelet after wearing it for 15 minutes my pain started to decrease taking off the bracelet the pain returned.
I continue to wear that bracelet and other magnet jewelry.
5 yrs. ago I was diagnosed with RA on meds which are slowing down the progress, but I do rely on the magnets for days with more pain.
I do believe that they are helpful. Do talk with someone who uses them in their practice.
Best wishes to you, jill

Research has shown that there is little to no evidence that magnetic bracelets have any future in pain management.
