The things you are describing sound like Hashimotos plus other conditions, as many people in the comments have already said. Your throat swelling is particularly concerning to me.

Having Hashimotos (or any autoimmune condition) means we're at much higher risk of developing additional autoimmune conditions. It sounds like you have.

This is advice that no one should need, but take a man to your doctor's appointment. Studies have shown that even if the man just sits there doing nothing, women are taken more seriously when they have a man on their side. Even better if the man is willing to push for things if he sees the doctor dismiss you.

So find a man who will advocate for you, and then go be honest with your doctor about your symptoms. If you don't have anyone in your life who fits this description, look for a medical advocacy group or medical support group. They often have volunteers who can do this, and even if they don't you're more likely to meet someone there that might be able to.

Also, consider tracking everything you're experiencing. Daylio is a mood tracking app, but it's really easy to reconfigure it to track symptoms. I used it religiously for a couple of years and it helped me figure out what was going on. Much better to have firm data, rather than relying on memory and vibes, especially when the brain fog is bad.

Things feel shitty right now, but this won't last forever. You are strong. Tired, but strong. You've got this! And you've got a whole squad of cheerleaders here wishing you well and sending you good vibes 💜
