Looking for hope…
Hey all…
I am diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hypothyroidism, Type1 Diabetes, Coeliac Disease. I am sure I can’t be the only person who has such a collection of autoimmune diseases, but I certainly feel very alone..
It’s such a challenge to attempt to balance all these conditions, the fatigue that accompanies them.
I’m asking for some hope, I’m trying to lose weight after a long period of time housebound. I’m eating a calorific deficit, I got to the gym or to aqua aerobics almost every day of the week and walk 10,000 steps minimum almost every day too. I don’t lose weight, in fact it’s slowly gaining.. How is this possible? I do have a red bull each morning to push myself into moving, surely this can’t be detrimental compared to all the good I am doing?
Is anyone else here diagnosed with a multitude of autoimmune diseases and capable of losing weight? Or is it truly hopeless? Thank you in advance for any input any of you can give me..
