MY HASHIMOTOS DISEASE STORY | Thyroid Autoimmune Chronic Illness Journey
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Hello my friends! Today I’d like to share with you my hashimotos thyroiditis disease. This is an autoimmune condition which your body’s immune system attacks the thyroid. I had many false negative tests. I didn’t get a positive antibodies test, and didn’t get diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I had a long road to get diagnosed with this. I was told it was fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue but nothing else was wrong. Come to find out finally that I was misdiagnosed and I actually had hashimotos. I have dealt with severe muscle aches and fatigue and finally have some answers!
I am a stay at home mama to a sweet baby girl, and wife to an amazing husband. I also have several chronic illnesses (see below). I am passionate about sharing my story to help those suffering like I do. I have a degree in health education and I am certified in nutrition, chronic disease, and health promotion.

I have been diagnosed with Hoshimotos several years ago. I found that I have to eat a very healthy, balanced diet. I only eat one desert with my dinner. No other sugar. I found that exercise is crucial, however, I only exercise 30 minutes a day. If I go without exercise for over 2 days, my Hoshimotos gets very bad. I found that my sleep pattern is also very important. I will be working on my sleep pattern this year. When I changed my diet and exercise, I lost 20 pounds and was able to keep it off. However, if I go off my very balanced diet I go downhill very quickly. High stress also impacts my symptoms as well. Hope this helps you. Take care and God bless you.
I just can’t believe how many things you are dealing with. So sorry girl! Glad you are staying positive.
Yes i try to stay positive. Will be getting another ultrasound soon, my thyroid and nodule have grew and i can see and feel it. My levels are good my doctor says. Even though my tsh is going up and down have not had a full panel that check tpo will demand one. Also developed gastritis out of nowhere!
Thank you for sharing! I was just diagnosed in March after 2 years of suffering and told my symptoms were due to my “server “ asthma and pumping me full of steroids until I finally moved to another state and was retested for everything and finally got diagnosed with Hashimotos. I still have asthma but I have normal asthma and lots of information from my Hashimottos although my thyroid levels are considered normal but man the symptoms are killer! Hoping 2020 will be a healing year for me. ♥️
2020 is going to be our best year yet!!! We are in this together!! :)
Would love to help save you money from docs use it toward life brother they will just keep wanting to do steroids over and over and it not fix it
You have such a positive attitude! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! :)
Omg thank you for this video I thank God I took the time to watch it, I been suffering with the same illness for years! My family doesn’t seem to understand how I feel some days I’m ready full of energy then next I’m fatigue and tired my hair is fallen nothing works my muscle aches, cold, hair loss, headaches, weird rashes everything else that comes with this disease but it’s always normal but I still have the symptoms): this sucks
Ugh. SO sorry you have to deal with this! We are in this together!!!
girl you are so motivating despite all of the things you are going through. Your personality is wonderfl & your videos are so informative
Awe thanks so much!!!💙💙
Hi, I have Hashimoto's and I have PCOS. I almost miscarried my first baby at age 35. The doctor said I had low progesterone from the dying egg sack. The progesterone is to help support the pregnancy until the placenta takes over producing the same progesterone hormone. If you get pregnant again, get a progesterone hormone shot and take it really easy. Don't lift anything.
Thanks so much for sharing! I am sorry to hear that you are going through this! Hugs!
Thank you!
I can’t believe that it took them a while to diagnose you!
Right!? And i KNEW it the whole time.... frustrating but its all good. Thats just life sometimes! Just happy we got there.
I’ve just been diagnosed with hashimotos like you kept going to drs and it was actually a junior dr that tested me my
Antibodies were through the roof, muscle aches were my worst symptom I couldn’t even sleep where they aches so bad, I’m now on levothyroxine and feeling better, I am also trying for a baby I also have pcos xx
I am in the process of getting diagnosed but I have all the same symptoms you experienced. Thank you so much for sharing
You speak very well my friend.
Gee thanks!!! Hey, how would you feel about me interviewing you sometime about life with MS for a video!? No pressure!!
@@Aimee_Esther I would be down! You know where to find me. ;)
Ahhh this would make so much sense for me too! But I’m so worried about bring it up with my br because I feel like a crazy lady every time I bring up a new Illness or symptom 😣
Yes. I know exactly how that feels!! I am so sorry. You just need to be your own advocate. Dont worry what others think. You can believe whatever you want no matter what the tests say! You got this girl.
Hi Aimee, I have Hashimoto, was diagnosed last year. Starting now to experience joint pain but more in my arm.
Just got diagnosed with hypertyrodism but also have hashimotos for 5yrs now
Hey! So I have Hashimotos as well.
I got it about 17 years ago but still being seen for it. So if you ever need yo talk or have questions I’m here ❤️
Good to know!!! I will totally come to you for all my questions!!!
How do you treat it??
Aimee Esther anytime :) they just treat me by replacing the thyroid hormone. They test my blood every 6 -8 weeks to adjust my dose. Right now I’m actually in hyperthyroidism but I also get a thyroid ultrasound once a year to be sure it’s still ok and nothing else going on. Because there is a small chance of it turning to thyroid cancer. But that’s a small risk and I had nodules which is why they check. And to be honest with all my other symptoms and chronic illnesses; with my thyroid I don’t even notice anymore. Lol that’s like the least of my issues/symptoms but I’m sure it plays into it all. Everything all seems to have similar symptoms. :)
I know this an old old video but i have the the pain and aches. Whole body hurts like when you first get a cold
Im so curious what the "full body scan is"? Ive had the CT & MRI scans. I really want to kno. My diagnosis are pretty parallel to yours. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia over a decade ago. Which isn't that amazing when you consider that I've had it my entire life. It just flared really bad and changed completely when I was 19. I find with fibromyalgia there's usually some trauma that sets It Off
I am 23 and I've been struggling with thyroid issues ( I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism with nodules, cysts and swollen thyroid) since I was 13😷 and last year I switched doctors because nothing was working and my thyroid levels were within normal range. And I got sent to and ENT and Allergy specialist and I discussed my symptoms and I asked him is there a chance that all this could be ( I did all kinds of research and all my symptoms leaned towards Hashimotos) and we both said at the same time (I'm not even joking) HASHIMOTOS. So I got blood tests done for it and it all came back within normal range 😟 and he said I know you have but with insurance and everything I can't medically diagnose until it's caught on a blood test.
But I got Allergy tests done for environmental and food allergies😷 and I am allergic to everything environmental they test for (except for 2 grasses that isn't even around here) and multiple food allergies. Which explains my horrible stomach pains after eating and not being able to keep most foods I ate down😷
Girl. Seriously this is my story (minus the allergy testing byt i have an appointment in feburary for testing!! I have allergies to things i just need to find out what). But seriously my symptoms pointed directly to hashimotos but negative, negative, negative... but i KNOW they were all wrong!! Dont let them stop until you get a diagnosis! Thats not fair that he knows you have it but wont treat you becuase of an "official diagnosis " the doctor that did my scan said "dont waste your money getting an official diagnosis, youll spend years and too many tests, just treat it as if you have it and i promise youll feel better." Im treating it now and already starting to feel better. Wish i had better advice! But dont take NO for an answer!!! You got this girl!!!
@@Aimee_Esther thank you so much. My well check up with my PCP is coming up I'm going to talk to her about everything. I saw your video about the full body scan and how that's how you were finally diagnosed with Hashimotos. I'm going to look into my insurance and see if they cover that.
@@haylebailey5812 Yes, look into it! Let me know how it goes!!
Omg im going through same thing? Bad allergies all of a sudden cyst and nodule on, do u get throat pain from time to time? And my body hurts so badly. My mom always was depressed and constantly trying to kill herself im really thinking she had this.

I just can’t believe how many things you are dealing with. So sorry girl! Glad you are staying positive.
