I take levothyroxine...I do have hypothyroid issues. I take levothyroxine for it and they've just increased my dosage. I also have issues with anemia. I'll be seeing a hematologist soon because this has been an issue for years. I can't take the iron tablets because they make me sick. <br /><br />I have psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism as well as the anemia. I didn't even think to include the thyroid issues as a chronic illness. So, I guess that's four chronic illnesses.<br /><br />Thanks for the reading suggestions. I'll check them out. And thanks for stopping by. <br /><br />Hugs to you. :DChristy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02747651866530946666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398753807645760316.post-65034666511519611272016-05-02T17:10:49.178-07:002016-05-02T17:10:49.178-07:00Dear Christy,
I found your blog via your Fauxdori ...Dear Christy,<br />I found your blog via your Fauxdori video. <br /><br />I don't know what your two other chronic illnesses are, but the symptoms you describe suggest thyroid. Brain fog, depression, lack of motivation, fatigue, weight gain, etc. <br /><br />I had "normal labs" and was told by several doctors for years that there was nothing wrong with me. It has been a long journey, but I finally found an osteopath who specializes in functional medicine who put me on Nature Thyroid. It has made a HUGE difference.<br /><br />I don't know if that would be part of what's going on with you, but it's amazing how much the thyroid affects mental/emotional well-being. Some helpful books were: Stop The Thyroid Madness (REALLY goes into the psychological effects), and Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? when My Lab Tests Are Normal. <br /><br />Sending healing thoughts your way, :-) HaliHali Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610865910264488901noreply@blogger.com
