Happy Rare Disease Day! Today I want to highlight my diagnosis, Hashimoto’s Disease. I don’t talk about it much on here, but I feel it’s important to show representation of a disease that is sometimes stigmatized or not mentioned enough. Hashimoto’s Disease is when the immune system attacks the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck, also known as the thyroid. I am in a late stage, meaning that my thyroid no longer works—a rare case for someone of my age! Why is this a problem? The thyroid gland is part of your endocrine system, which produces hormones that coordinate many of your body's functions such as the heart, breathing, energy levels, mental health, weight distribution, and body temperature. That is pretty important! It’s a lifelong disease that requires daily treatment and a lot of patience. I am lucky to have access to treatment, and am blessed to have an extremely strong support system 🥰✨ Thank you for listening to my story. Please check out #RareDiseaseDay to follow the movement ❤️

I posted on my Instagram too, which was pretty nerve wracking ;-;

Hi all! As I'm actively working on reestablishing my blog and hopefully some new faces will be looking, here's an update and a bit about me- -We moved and I got my dream job teaching in a Montessori school. Although sometimes I wish I did something else. If it weren't for those sweet kids.... -We bought a lovely house and have really enjoyed the area we live in. -I was diagnosed with hashimoto's and I've actively tried putting it in remission through diet and lifestyle. -I get acupuncture weekly. It's my jam. -I started therapy as my mental health seemed to really take a dip about a year ago. It was scary and starting therapy was scary. I've loved it, though. I'm still struggling mentally and in fact things have gotten worse. #workingonit -I've gotten back into the swing of being active, although I started slow. I'm really approaching it from a total wellness perspective, listening to my body. Mostly walking and swimming right now. -I garden and craft at home when I'm not parenting or reading. Currently reading The Witcher series. -I love traveling and adventure. Hiking, biking, swimming, exploring all give me life. -I love all things natural, healthy or alternative. Here's the most recent picture of me- taken right after the last new moon women's circle I attended. Yeah, I'm a hippie at heart. So say hi! Let's be friends. 😊

Background on my journey.

I decided to create a post giving background on the health journey I have been on the past number of years.

I have suffered from little unexplainable health issues since I was a child. These included chronic sinus issues and infections, migraines, acid reflux that started at about 18, digestive issues, etc. when I was about 28 I was discovered to be extremely anemic when I was going in for sinus surgery. I saw a few specialists and no reason for my extreme anemia was ever discovered. I was told to take iron supplements for awhile a d monitored until my levels were stable.

Fast forward a few years and 2 babies later and I am now a mother in my early 30’s with two young kids. And I am sick. I have no idea what is wrong with me but I know I am not okay. I am gaining weight, and I am so incredibly tired that I literally can’t get through my days. Eventually it is discovered that I have hashimotos thyroid disease. For those that are unfamiliar with this, it is an autoimmune disease that stacks the thyroid. My thyroid hormones were very off. Your thyroid affects so many functions of your body. So if it is not working properly, you will feel horrible. As part of this digging into my health, it was also discovered that I suffer from Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease. If you have one autoimmune disease you have a very high likelihood of developing more. Currently, I am known to have a connective issue autoimmune disease, but the doctors can’t determine which one, or ones. It could be Lupus, Rhumatoid arthritis, sjogren’s disease, or a combination. So that is a little background on my health. I definitely have some issues that have made it difficult to live my best life that past few years. I have learned a lot about managing these issues and I am ready to move forward with my life.

In addition, last January I tore my meniscus in my knee. I did not end up going to the doctor for this until October. However, this injury really derailed my ability to be active and workout. I finally had surgery to repair it the day before thanksgiving. I have spent the past month on crutches and in the couch not being able to move around much. In the next few weeks I should be able to start to slowly become more mobile. I am really looking forward to this. I know this injury means that I am still in rehab mode and not in workout mode. But it is a step in the right direction. I have visions of running again next summer.

So that is a little about my background and situation moving into 2021.

Feel free to comment on your current situation.

To my autoimmune babes, any suggestions for a particularly weak immune system?

It's like I get sick for awhile, then get better. Then I start getting sick again.

Does anything help you when this happens? I feel awful.

I just want to say that I am still disabled on the good days.

My disability isn't gauged on me using my cane or walker. Somedays I shower and brush my hair. Somedays I wear high heels and skirts. Somedays I can run and laugh and go out.

Those days, I'm not better or not disabled anymore.

Somedays I choose to wear a pajama shirt as a regular one or wear the same shirt or the third day in a row. Somedays I wear sneakers for the support and put my dry shampooed hair in the easiest style and spend the day on the couch.

Those days are still good days to me.

Somedays are so bad I don't leave my bed. Somedays I use my walker in the house and still can't go for long without needing to sit. Somedays I can barely speak because I'm in so much pain.

My disability isn't subject to how I feel on any given day. I will always have this.

Feeling better ≠ being better. Feeling better ≠ "fixed". Feeling better ≠ faking it.

I think that that's overlooked a lot

I was trying to convince myself to get out of bed for food & water but Mandana alerted to low heart rate so I stayed in bed and took medicine.

She keeps me from pushing myself when I’m already struggling, preventing further regression. I’m so grateful.

Following text copied from original post on my IG:

I know it’s 4:18a and probably no one is awake right now, but I just finished my first digital collage and I’m too excited to wait to upload it. I’m so happy to have the ability to experiment with art like this right now. Swipe to watch the time lapse.

Ever since I had my blood drawn for some tests this morning I’ve been thinking of this composition but had to go straight to work and couldn’t start working on it until I got home from work at like 1:13a. So yea, I guess this took like 4 hours??? Wow.

Anyway, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis back in the summer of 2011. Basically it’s an autoimmune disease that makes my body confused and think my thyroid is a dangerous villain that must be destroyed at all costs. I feel like I’ll never be done doing research and learning about living with this disease, but in 2019 my thyroid was stable for the first time since I was first diagnosed thanks to me ignoring my doctor and quitting gluten in 2017 or 2018, can’t remember.

Although it feels good to have my thyroid hormones “in range” for the first time in almost a decade, the happiness at that news didn’t last. Even though my thyroid is stable, the list of symptoms I experience is ever growing and changing. Not all of the symptoms go away when my thyroid is working properly, and each day is different from the last. Because your thyroid is so important for so many processes within your body, my symptoms mimic pretty much anything you can imagine, which is why Hashimoto’s can be difficult to diagnose or isn’t caught early on.

This may be TMI but I guess I just wanted to educate y’all and vent a little. I have a weird mix of guilt for being so upset on my bad days because all things considered, this isn’t the worst disease to have, but the days where it actually feels like I’m dying or I can barely move and get out of bed make me wish I didn’t have to take a synthetic thyroid pill every day for the rest of my life in order to just live. Not only that but if I ever decide to have kids it is going to be very risky for me and for the baby, if I can even get pregnant to begin with. But anyway, enough of that! Haha here’s my art! ❤️

Meet: @pattysfitnessjourney this is @mywlstories I spent years not knowing how to keep weight off. I became sedentary and turned down any adventure that my family would take on because I was too heavy and out of shape. Then in 2011, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and spent a year on a steroid and I put in even more weight. However, in 2016, I met someone who taught me about food and as I changed my eating I put my RA into remission and I list 75 pounds. Today I no longer turn down adventure and my story is “reclaiming my life.” Let me tell you. It feels great! ________________ WHAT DOES WLSTORIES MEAN TO YOU? I think a very important part of a successful weight loss journey is the community you surround yourself with. The more support you have, the easier it is to be successful.
