Oh thank you so much 💜 I'm going to try some of those things. I do have a hypothyroidism I was actually diagnosed with that a couple years ago when all this started for me. Just keeps getting progressively worse symptom wise but hopefully the meds and some of that other that I'm going to try will start helping. I am not sure if she tested my t3 or t4 I'll have to ask about that. I think it might cause problems converting vitamins because I take a supplement and I was still low iron wise. I have noticed when I do any sort of activity I feel like collapsing. I can't push my body anymore it refuses to go. I think I might need a higher dose of the steroids this is the second day of them and when I took them this morning I felt a wee bit better for an hour then I was back to where I was. Do you have problems waking up in the morning? Idk how to explain it I'm not tired when I wake up but my mind just won't focus for hours. My endocrinologist seems like an awesome doctor I feel really lucky to have her. Actually I guess I am pretty lucky to have a whole set of awesome healthcare providers. Took a long time to find them though. There are some not very good ones out there. I jumped with this for a long time between providers trying to get answers to how I have been feeling. As for other autoimmune diseases I'm not sure on that front. I don't have a very good rheumatologist right now. My sister has lupus, my mom has rheumatoid arthritis my grandmothers side of the family had a lot of lupus and rheumatoid. So idk maybe . Hope I don't though.
