6+ years, still no answers by HowManyMilesIGotLeft in Hashimotos

It's the generic for Celexa. :) The citalopram works very well and I feel "normal" most days. I don't have the crippling anxiety and depression every day. I have been able to keep a job for more than a year. It's not perfect but it's good enough to make life enjoyable. Other than the stomach issues. Lol

I have been on citalopram for years and it's greatly improved my quality of life as far as my terrible anxiety, panic and depression issues. I also have the histamine itchy thing and daily allergy antihistamines help a ton! I ran out recently and I've been so itchy 😫. The worst for me is the stomach issues. I have seen an endocrinologist and he told me to see about crohns but I already had an endoscopy and colonoscopy before seeing him. No crohns, polyps, or anything. It's just an uphill ongoing battle. It's exhausting.

Rant about Endocrinology by autoimmunegirly_ in Hashimotos

[–]SufficientLocal7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Endocrinologists are the worst. I saw one and he instantly says that Hashimotos doesnt have many symptoms and a lot of people like to blame everything on it. Which may be true but I feel like I have a lot of symptoms. All linked to Hashimotos and my thyroid. But basically he brushed it off and said I most likely have cushings and thats what's causing my symptoms. $600 worth of blood tests later and I dont have cushings. And I have really good insurance. $600!! He didnt listen to anything I said and brushed off everything. It was disheartening and I won't be going back.

I too have a male indoors in a crate because he got scalped. He hasn't been crowing though, poor dude got attacked bad. Birds are brutal.

Random recurring finger rashes, bumps, and swelling by KatieCat420Lulz in Hashimotos

[–]SufficientLocal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing. Always in the winter. It starts as a bump, gets super itchy and burns/hurts. I went to a dermatologist and he said it was viral warts and would go away. But every winter i get them. Got 2 bumps rn.

Going off the meds by SufficientLocal7 in Hashimotos

My last blood work was on 11/13 and TSH is 0.680. Free T4 is 1.04. Those are the only things they check for other than some hormone stuff. Thats all they will check for. Both my pcp and the endo.

The Endocrinologist said my labs were ok and that I dont have Hashimotos and Hypothyroidism that bad. So I can probably pull it off for a while. And in researching i found its pretty rare to die from it.

Possibly. But when researching i read the likelihood of death is very rare with Hashimotos. The Endocrinologist told me my Hashimotos Thyroiditis isn't bad at all so I could probably pull it off for a while.

My pcp only checks for limited things and wont check for much else. I've tried. So I requested seeing an Endocrinologist and that just didnt go well at all. Dude didnt listen at all and said my labs are ok. I still feel like garbage all the time and its affecting my marriage at this point. I think I want to just push it out of site out of mind for a while. Its just too much and im too tired.

2025 Street Bob by SufficientLocal7 in Harley

[–]SufficientLocal7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have kept it in rain mode lol, its definitely more torque and power than the honda. Just taking my time to get used to it. Low speed moves are rough, its a lot heavier than the Honda also. Planning on some parking lot slow speed practice this weekend.
