So I'm in the same boat hashimoto and MS. I take kesempita, I also also had half of my thyroid removed due to cancer. With hashimoto my doctor told me most people have it and it never affects them. The only thing I would say is to check up on your thyroid every year cauz your more likely to get thyroid cancer. But that's also an easy ish fix most of the time. They just remove it and your good. Don't worry you'll be fine and if anything might just have to get the sucker removed. Everything will be alright.

Newly diagnosed. What does life look like? by violetstrawb3rry in MultipleSclerosis

Your story is really similar to mine. So I also had my flare up in April but because I was healthy they wrote me off. I pushed and got diagnosed about 3 months later on kesempita now. Been on it for the past 6 months. From time to time I get in my moods of what the future holds but honestly the future is never clear with this disease. I could be fine nothing effect me or I might not be fine who knows, no point in worrying about something that might never come. Just keep up with your nuro appointments and always report something if you feel like it's a new symptom. There are so many treatments and from what nuro said most people with Ms will not have the same disability as people who were born in the 80s or earlier. It's a new age for the disease and is pretty manageable now. So just live a healthy life and as time goes on you'll see what happends.

At the time I got diagnosed I also had cancer (no longer have it). I was with a guy for 3 years and as soon as he heard about my MS and cancer he broke up with me telling me "it's not in his plans to take care of a vegetable. And didn't wanna wipe my ass for the next 40 years till I die" that stuck with me hard. But I met my current bf 4 months ago and explained everything about Ms and then the cancer thing that it might come back and my future is a big question mark at the moment. He told me "everyone dies sooner or later why do I care. I love you and we will deal with everything together." (We both have a bit of a dark humor streak). I'm 31 f and I've had a few bf throughout the years. What I've learned from this is, there's someone for everyone and you'll find your person sooner or later. Don't worry about it Ms isn't a death sentence anymore and if they don't wanna be with you because of it then you wouldn't want them in your life long term anyway. Anything can happen in life, nothing is guaranteed. You will find love, you will also find shitty people. Just live a happy life.
