#Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

[mandana-the-service-pup]

In my post-exertional stupor, I made a fatal error with Mandanas Ruffwear Float Coat. Don’t ask me how but it was shredded 😬

No worries. We can fix this.

“Anything worth doing is worth doing right”

….yeah, no one has spoons for that so here’s a quick & easy stitch for fixing your stuff when you f*ck it up 😭

It’s called the Parachute Ranger Stitch. Here are better instructions than what I can give you.

If you want it done “right” you can trim the frayed edges, use more stitches/inch and keep the tension even so that the edges just meet and it lays flat….but like I said, no spoons 😮‍💨

Sometimes I think about the fact that I’m going to have to live with my disabilities for the rest of my life, since mental issues and autoimmune diseases are incurable-

Anyone on synthyroid (??) meds for Hashimoto’s: does it actually work to relieve symptoms??

ive only been hearing negative things about it from ppl around me (who i dont trust their medical advice, but still) but im highly likely to be diagnosed with hashimoto’s soon and i want to know 🙏

i often wonder what it would be like to not have to live with a chronic illness 🥲

Can’t remember if I took my meds this morning. I remember going back to the bedroom to get my water cup so I assume I took my thyroid pill but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay soooo for the first time in like forever I had two days off in a row. Actually more like 3.

Saturday I had labs 9-3pm but no work after

Sundays our clinic is now gonna be closed so no work for me.

So I crashed at 10pm on Saturday and didn’t get up until 11am Sunday. I don’t remember the last time I got more than 6 hours of sleep.

I don’t know if I was having a flare up or what was going but I just felt this wave of exhaustion most of Sunday. I’m still learning about Hashimotos and how exactly it affects me and what affects me. I don’t really know much, and my doctor didn’t really give me any info either.

I decided to call in sick today for clinical, I couldn’t see myself having the energy and Monday’s our ortho clinic is swamped.

I feel okay today. I got up at 9am and just had coffee and crepes.

The one thing I read is that I shouldn’t drink coffee within 2 hours of taking levothyroxine…… I’ve been waiting only the 1 hour, because you have to not eat anything for one hour after taking it. I just read that about the coffee. Great. There’s too many rules.

I have to catch up on hw today anyways, and I have a presentation tomorrow.

I need to see if my doctor will see me this week as I could really use a doctors note for missing my clinical today, otherwise I lose 2% off my grade. Which is stupid really.

What is Functional Medicine Testing?

Functional medicine tests are a way to assess the underlying causes of a patient’s health problems. Functional medicine tests focus on treating the body as a whole system, rather than individual symptoms, and helps to identify underlying imbalances that can be addressed for lasting health benefits. A functional medicine practitioner looks beyond medical history and physical exams to explore…

Research on Autoimmune Diseases

What exactly are autoimmune diseases?

Have you ever thought of a situation where our body becomes our enemy? Autoimmune diseases refer to a condition in which our immune system tends to destroy our healthy tissue due to an abnormal mechanism called autoimmunity. It is a chronic lifelong condition, and millions of people across the globe are living with it. Most of the time, autoimmune disorders are abrupt in onset, regardless of age, and females are more likely to develop than men. There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases that affect millions of people across the globe. It includes rheumatoid arthritis, Grave’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Sjogren’s syndrome, and many more.

Strengthen Research on Biospecimens of Autoimmune Diseases

The growing incidence and prevalence of autoimmune disorders called for the immediate attention of global research to discover novel treatments and prevent autoimmune diseases. Today, medical science has endless possibilities. As far as immunology research is concerned, a lack of a clear understanding of the causes and exact pathway of autoimmunity is the main roadblock to discovering a permanent cure for autoimmune conditions. Against this background, it is of paramount importance to utilize the banked human biospecimens, such as serum, plasma, tissue, and PBMC, isolated from patients with autoimmune diseases. A well preserved, richly annotated human biospecimen can act as in-vitro patient models to intensify more studies on autoimmune disorders. Therefore, powering human biospecimens to foster research can uncover the secret behind autoimmunity and discover disease-specific autoimmune disease treatments.

A collection of some of the unhinged "solutions" I've stated for various health/pain issues. Anyone else talk like this about things? I'm curious if so~

"I want to crack open my bunion like a geode."

"Can I just cut open my heel and use an emery board on my heel spur?"

"I want my pelvic bone spatch-cocked like a chicken"

"Crack my tailbone like a glowstick."

"Can I tap my skull like a sugar maple to relieve the pressure?" (yes I know trepanning and spinal taps are things but this is different in my head)

"I want to go to (Mortal Kombat) Sub-Zero Chiropractic, he could fix me." (this is a joke I've seen before but it has never left my head)

"I want to butterfly my plantar fascii/hip flexor like a chicken breast to release the tension"

"If I chop off my leg, it can't hurt me anymore"

"Clear out my hip with an ice cream scoop"

"I want to get rid of my thyroid. I know it won't fix anything, but fuck that traitorous bastard."

i love to eat dried seaweed … i have hashimoto’s thyroiditis and the iodine in seaweed helps calm some of the symptoms (alongside my meds ofc) and the umami of seaweed also helps with meat cravings since i dont eat meat :3 plussss the salt content helps increase my blood pressure

not to mention makes me feel like a lil fox who just found the most awesomest snack ever by the ocean mmmmm

I didn’t update y’all on the Rheumatologist Apt.

It was meh. The doctor was nice and I could tell she was good at what she does. Unfortunately she was running behind on apts and there was a big language barrier so we were having trouble getting on the same page (mostly bc we both went into this apt with different expectations about what it was for).

I went there bc my PCP wants a Rheumatologist to manage my LDN Rx and it was clear that this Dr usually sees people at the beginning of their vague health journeys and not at the end. I’ve already been through this whole process with two private Drs and a bunch of specialist. I don’t need to go through it all the way from the beginning again but I also don’t want to miss anything we might have overlooked.

So I got a bunch of blood tests that I didn’t know what they were until after the apt when I could ask for a list. If I would have seen the list I would have declined at least half of them bc I’ve done these panels before. I already know I have Hashimoto’s and that it’s flaring up. I told her that. I already know I’m clear from Hepatitis. Stuff like that. I was open to the other autoimmune tests although I’ve had them before and both previously and now have come back negative so eh 🤷‍♀️

She also ordered X-rays which I think are to check for any longterm damage done to my joints. She ordered them for my knees, hips and hands when I was under the impression that she was going to set a baseline for the scoliosis but no back X-rays were ordered so I guess I misunderstood that too.

Here’s the thing. I appreciate a thorough doctor. I appreciate tests and exams and blood panels. It’s just…I’ve been through all this and that’s not where I’m at in my healthcare journey right now. I’m in the symptom management stage. I just need the one medication that I know helps to be refilled but I haven’t been able to get that Rx since October 2022. It’s not a narcotic. It’s not a controlled substance. It’s a relatively safe medication that uses the bodys own systems to manage pain. It helps keep my autoimmune disorder in check and since living off of my stash of pills from previous dose changes my thyroid and pain have been out of wack. But yes, I’ll do the X-rays and have a follow up in a month.

I also went there for a disability placard now that I’m driving again. If Mandana alerts while I’m out I need to be able to get to a safe place quickly so I can lay down and settle for a while. But the dr was running late for our apt and didn’t have time to do it. Now I have to make a separate appointment with my PCP to get that sorted out and it won’t be ready in time for my first trip to the DMV so I’ll have to go back. (I’m pretty sure Rheumatologist can fill out that paperwork which I already had printed? I could be mistaken tho so feel free yo correct me if ur experience has been different)

Hey sorry I can't come out tonight after all. Yeah I accidentally ate some sweetened yogurt and now I have to spend at least the next twelve hours lying in bed because I'm shaking too hard to stand up.

can you make a few wordmojis for hashimoto’s disease? like “hashimoti’s disease,” “i have HT,” and “thyroid flare” pls and thank you!! :)

Yep!
