The muscle weakness in my legs and arms are getting worse by the day. So much so, walking is getting harder as every step is extremely painful. I'm scared , I'm depressed, this isn't me. I'm scared I'm going to wake up one day and I won't be able to walk anymore. Help....did anyone experience anything like this? Could this just be a symptom of something else? I finally see the Endo next Friday for the first time.
Called all endocrinologist in my state....they are all scheduling into the end of February. I am suffering with symptoms so much and I'm so tired of dealing with this. What do I do????? 😭😭😭
10 years ago I lost my 3 month old daughter to unknown causes.
Been having a lot of health issues lately. I was just diagnosed last month with hyperthyroidism. One of the symptoms is anxiety. Well....this past weekend my anxiety was so bad I had very vivid visions of my child being murdered, or dying.
Idk what to do. I miss my daughter so much. This life isn't fair. Her dad is being a POS to me. He has completely stopped caring for our oldest. Barely sees our youngest.
I have no support in my life that even knew my daughter. Well really....I don't have support. My mom's says my health struggles are because of my trauma and I'm just like wtf no they are not. I have real medical conditions. She is always downplaying my health.
Sorry for the rant. Thanks for reading.
Ok, so symptoms have been going on for 4 years:
Muscle pain/ weakness(this is the worst)
Constant need to pee
Hand tremors(less common)
Heart rate spikes(sent to the er once with no explanation)
Anxiety (though I have a lot of trauma too)
Extreme fatigue
Blood filled cyst on ovary(the one on my left ovary has been there for at least 2 years)
Super fast metabolism, hard to keep weight on
These symptoms seem to alleviate when I am on my period.
I have been to GP, Gyno, rheumatologist the first 4 years of seeking answers. TSH has consistently, for 4 years, been between .5 and .3. Normal T4 and T3. Ultrasound a few weeks ago showed mild enlargement and heterogenous. Antibody for Graves just came back negative.
I tested positive for Anti-Nuclear Ab by IFA and a speckled pattern of 1:40.
So with all this....in 4 years....I have only been diagnosed with subclinical hyperthyroidism. And still trying to figure out what is going on with my reproductive organs.
Has anyone been through something like this? I just want treatment so I can feel like myself again. I haven't felt like myself in so long. I hate this. And I feel crazy cause it's like every result am I told is 'borderline'.
Still waiting to get into Endo.
So I have been struggling with hyperthyroidism symptoms for 4 years. 8 months after the birth of my last child the symptoms started.
Years of fighting dra who wouldn't listen, I was FINALLY diagnosed with hyperthyroidism by my new primary. I was diagnosed subclinical for now as she is only going off my TSH which was .3 last test, my symptoms, and my thyroid ultrasound which showed I have mild enlargement and heterogenous.
Waiting to hear from the Endo she referred me to to schedule there for further treatment. In the meantime I'm going for the antibody test on Monday and a recheck of my thyroid levels.
I also had an ultrasound done of my pelvic region because of a cyst causing pain in my ovaries that was diagnosed over a year ago. The recheck showed I now was two cysts, one on each ovary and they are filled with blood. I also have free fluid in my pelvic region. I am going for a CT scan in a week.
Can't get into the gyno until December 31st.
I also was informed by my mom , after asking about autoimmune conditions in the family, and was told that my great uncle and great grandmother both died of type 1 diabetes.
My brain hurts. I already have brain fog all the time, now I have so much anxiety and can't think.
What am I to do? This waiting game sucks. It's eating me alive and my symptoms are just awful right now.
So I have been struggling with crazy symptoms for 4 years....going on 5....it started 8 months after I gave birth to my last child. Brain fog, extreme muscle pain in legs and arms the worst but also back and neck, I cannot stand being hot, but also when I get cold I can't warm up, extreme exhaustion, unable to keep weight on, heart feels like it is racing at time and has even sent me to the hospital before.
4 years of this....I have been to primary Dr, gyno, and rehmuatologist the first year of symptoms. I basically was told by all of them they could keep monitoring but my tests were 'borderline' . I expressed I felt like from my research, I was presenting hyperthyroidism. Now I was really crazy to them. No one ever listened to how bad my quality of life has been with my symptoms. I gave up. I stopped going to the Drs. I supported my dad as he passed from cancer after, then lived a year in hell with my abusive, psychopath step son. Getting all them help when I was suffering myself.
I can't keep feeling this way, my husband and kids don't deserve this version of me. So, I chose a new Dr and decided to start over again. This time....was different. She listened to my symptoms, and she finally agreed to an ultrasound of my thyroid.
The results are in. My tsh is .3 total t4 6.4 t3 31% and free t4 2.0 . And the results from my ultrasound are :
The right lobe of the thyroid measures 6.2 x 2.0 x 1.4 cm. The right lobe of the thyroid is mildly heterogeneous without evidence of nodules. The left lobe of the thyroid measures 6.7 x 2.1 x 1.4 cm. The left lobe of the thyroid is mildly heterogeneous without evidence of nodules.
I know y'all can't diagnose me, but is this sounding like graves? When I had gone to the rheumatologist they said my blood results showed "possible autoimmune condition but cannot specify one"
So today when backing up....my informant screen looks different. There is now a visual of my car next to the camera image. Anyone else notice this? Is this like an update? But I haven't had a software update in months.
According to court order, who transports the kids has to be sober and has to be licensed.
I just found out coparent has 2 pending trials. I am not able to figure out what(just looked him up on vinelink) but they are held in a court that handles criminal cases(misdemeanors and usually DUIs)
Coparent has 4 previous DUIs ....so I'm pretty confident this is for another DUI. Which, if it is, would mean his license is suspended.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this information? If I ask him, he will not tell me the truth.
How do I go about this? I thought about asking him to meet me at the police station next exchange and have an officer meet us outside to confirm he is able to drive
Idk....please help(for context, our son doesn't even want to go anymore after the neglect when he is there. Our older son hasn't been in almost 2 yrs)
I just need to vent after what was a very draining day. I don't have friends so this is a nice platform for me to share. Not looking for any advice. Just to vent to those who get it. Today was draining. So tiring and draining. Last minute post op mld session, 2- 60s and another post op mld session.
Everyone had to talk so much. And I know it's all good but I absorbed way too much of other people's energies and I'm having trouble shaking it off. Idk why I had such a hard time grounding. Politics/post ops woes/Miami surgery crazy stories/kids/deployments....my head and body hurts. I worked so hard to be present for them but omg I'm so tired my eye is twitching. Then I had prek graduation, dealing with my husband who has a migraine, my other sons arguing about everything, missing my run due to being so tired....and so much work and school events coming in the next few days .
I'm so tired. Can I go to bed before 8pm? 😭 All over again tomorrow. I'll be ok....I'll.be ok....I'm blessed....but I'm tired.
Thanks
