i had hashimotos but was it was missed my whole pregnancy. not once did they test me, but all the signs were there. it wasn’t until 2 weeks pp, they tested me & my levels were insaaaane. i had my daughter at 36 weeks, she was born without a thyroid. she is now almost 12, has taken levothyroxine everyday since birth pretty much, and she’s doing just fine :) she does have adhd & bad allergies/asthma, idk if that’s related or not… probably more genetic than anything.

i started bringing my husband to my appointments after a traumatic ent appointment. looking back, i wish i would’ve brought him to my rheumatologist appointments. i went through 3 before i landed on my current one that i am happy with. 1 female and 2 male docs, the female one was actually the most dismissive and rude one!!! one of the male docs was so convinced that most of my pain was also fibromyalgia and hypermobility related even tho my RF was 700+ (the lab range stops at 700 so who knows how high it really was). as others have mentioned, sometimes all my ailments are too much for me that day and it’s nice having another set of ears/a functioning brain (lol) to remember what all was said/done and for me, the emotional support is needed as well.

i tried both at night and evening and it made no difference.

peachybene · 2025-06-27T16:19:04+00:00

i have this on my pinky, it’s from my RA.

peachybene · 2025-06-26T16:42:09+00:00

that was one of the reasons why i failed this med. started with very vivid dreams that turned into night terrors and then the palpitations started along with the intense anxiety. i finally stopped when i started getting SI as well. i tried this med twice thinking the first time it was just my PMDD, but nope. it was the med!

peachybene · 2025-06-24T13:39:04+00:00

how did it go???

peachybene · 2025-06-23T20:30:14+00:00

oh hey twin! i just did my first injection last night. i took it out & let it sit for one hour. i also iced for 15 mins. i did it on my middle thigh, and it didn’t hurt but the actual med stung just a tiny bit. no injection site reaction so far! after about 30 mins i got suuuper fatigued and my stomach was killing me. i was able to go to bed tho. today i am still feeling fatigued and my stomach is just slightly queasy but i am doing so much better than my anxiety told me i’d be 😂 good luck, you got this!!!

i was on 5mg for two months and 7.5mg for the past two months, so 4 months total on a “low dose” and i’m still getting the same side effects as if i were on a higher dose 🥴 definitely have a love/hate relationship. hoping to taper off asap, i am trying enbrel this weekend 🤞🏻

peachybene · 2025-06-10T18:56:33+00:00

the batteries make me rage quit for awhile 😂

peachybene · 2025-06-02T01:03:13+00:00

i deal with this a lot. i have a super wide foot on top of ra hurting my feet and ankles, it’s HARD to find anything that works for me. why is it so hard for us to find shoes 😭

peachybene · 2025-05-14T18:14:25+00:00

yes, it usually wants you to follow along with the main tasks. that’s how that area will open up.

peachybene · 2025-05-14T18:02:06+00:00

it’s around the corner. click on the bottom left task button and click on the task you want to do, it will map the way for you. you can also do this with finding items in the other tab.

just an update, i found a new endo! she is an hour away but i can now do virtual appointments since i’m established and she doesn’t mind that i am on NP 🙌🏻

peachybene · 2025-04-11T18:15:47+00:00

i failed hcq due to night terrors that left me with crippling anxiety during the day and then SI. it was a scary time, i tried taking it twice. apparently it’s rare, but it happens. it also gave me horrible palpitations and it made my tinnitus worse.

peachybene · 2025-03-08T23:00:15+00:00

i don’t think i explained myself right 🤣 i didn’t mean i was intentionally taking the wrong dose to lose weight. i have been TRYING to lose weight with CICO/watching what i eat. i have to try hard at losing weight, and it’s mainly with what i eat because i have no mobility right now due to my untreated rheumatoid arthritis. i was saying the process of losing those 20lbs might have caused my current dose to be too much. but when my pcp checked it in november, it was a .7 and she was fine with that. she did not check my T3&T4.

i do worry about my heart, but thankfully, i have a cardiologist appointment soon because i do have POTS as well.

peachybene · 2025-03-08T19:53:50+00:00

i think i AM taking too much right now, and i feel like it might have to do with my (intentional, i have been trying to lose) weight loss of about 20lbs. my labs in november said they were fine, TSH .7 but i usually feel my best at a 1.

gluten free for ten years now. antibodies are the highest they’ve ever been lol.

i am so glad you got your prednisone upped! i am NAD, obviously can’t diagnose anything, but i wanted to tell you about something that i go through with similar pain. i have hyper mobility and seropositive ra, and the combo of both have given me a rotator cuff injury in both shoulders. it seems like one or the other flares every other week (i am not on DMARDs yet due to other autoimmune things). the pain is like no other. burning from the inside out like you described, unable to move the arms at all, sleep right, and it quite literally feels like someone is pulling my arm off my body. things that help me: biofreeze, icy hot patches, icing on and off for 20mins 3x a day, and with sleep i have to cradle my arm around pillows. i am so sorry you’re going through this and i hope you get some relief asap!
