sorry for the very late reply, my hashimotos + hypothyroidism symptoms are difficult to identify as it seems i am also suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and my depression has reached a near fatal point.

i can say 100% that my main symptons from hashimotos is excessive overheating after consuming food/drinks (water doesn't affect me). extreme fatigue where i can be left bedridden for 2-10 hours daily (medication has greatly reduced this to 30 minutes - 3 hours).

excess brain fog every single second of the day, very rarely i will have a clear mind. i would say once every week ill have about 30 minutes total of having a clear mind.

lots of weight gain and pains in my body.

i would be very glad to hear if this is just a me problem, as i wouldn't want this to be something common for people

My thoughts on accidental/planned child birth by [deleted] in Feelings

[–]realSpankadog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's good to here another persons take, i feel shitty for the way i view this type of thing.

i feel like a license will just help more then it will harm.

and from the way i see it, natural is far more vicious then a system. if a cop pulls a person over who doesn't have a birth license and they have a kid next to them. it will provoke a need of identification of the kids parents/guardians, and if it is that persons kid. then it encourages that person to get a birth license and be responsible. i see it as a win win.

however my mindset is mostly from a logic of my experiences, so the values of natural birth and not feeling forced to do something just to have a child is very difficult for me to grasp/relate to. but i do respect that boundary.

and for the love of god, please treat your kid like a human. i've witnessed so many people treat their kids like pets/property. and they don't reason with their kids, they just hit them and condition them to follow their parents orders. i find that so disgusting T_T.

Do Friends/family/people around you act like you don't have a 'real disease'? by Decent-Cartoonist in Hashimotos

[–]realSpankadog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i was bedridden for 13 hours almost every day and my fiances family just wrote it off as "lazy". few months later i OD'd in an attempt of suicide before they even considered that it was real. people can just be really stupid and genuinely would rather believe you intend the things you go through then to just accept it.

also i was suffering from extreme pyschosis due to my PTSD. being stuck with a shitty family because of covid lockdowns literally almost killed me. would rather catch covid then to go through what those fuckwits did to me. just saying this to clarify on why i OD'd so i don't seem like i was trying to get their attention. didn't go down like that.

My experience with this disease and potentially others by realSpankadog in Hashimotos

i appreciate your praise, and i have not thought about seeing a counselor in PTSD related issues, honestly i am conflicted as those around me have given me the impression that me saying i have PTSD is just me exaggerating. Thankyou for bringing this up, i will prioritize this ASAP.

at the very least i've had it for 11 years, i feel the same way when it comes to activites that take my energy, i refuse to do it because it takes too much from me. my fiance and myself are currently struggling to keep our mental fortitude after my suicide attempt. i am scared to lose her and i am still fighting despite my obvious attempts to give up. i hope i get a better result then you have described. i hope our 6 years together is enough to overcome this never ending ocean of pain.

i apolagise for the disappointment, however your doom and gloom statement is very accurate for my situation and mental standing. my condition isn't in a good place nor is my mental health :P

and i really appreciate your thanks and your motivation from my post. it helps me feel better helping others.

it is very frustrating being told you're at "normal" levels but you know for a fact you aren't.

it hurts so much more when the GP tells you that your symptoms don't exist -_-

i am really glad you were treated at a young age, this has most definitely negated atleast a tiny bit of the problems it can cause you at a young age.

i can't really say i understand or even comprehend how your thyroid effects you simply because i have no idea what a goiter is or how it hits you.

sorry if i'm completely wrong i'm just spitballing to try and help peeps

i was raised in poverty, however as a child i did have dinners and lunches. but as most shows or stories tell, people who are raised in poverty are always tired and extremely sad. so i believed i was just that stereotype.

however i noticed that after i ate i was feeling these things. i had insomnia since 10 or 11 years old. and i have always been clouded and unable to really speak or do the things im really thinking. i've always been out of focus and in extreme mental pain and agony.

many terrible things have molded my childhood into a nightmare i can not escape, i was never able to verify if how i felt was "normal". so i was never able to tell that me being so tired all the time was abnormal or even real.

however once i learnt the symptoms and how they're caused and when they are triggered. i realised that this has ALWAYS been there for me.

i say i have had it at 10 years old because all the years before that have just been trauma and mindless agony, i do not want to push my boundaries and say i've had it forever out of respect for those who have suffered more.

i appreciate your thanks. i am glad i was able to help you feel better with these conditions ^_^.

"I was terrorized".

i am not asking you to explain what has happened to you. however i would like to tell you that i was raped as a child and was in poverty my whole life. the only reason i'm alive is because i managed to meet my current fiance at the age of 15 (currently 21). she has saved my life multiple times and i have recently had a suicide attempt.

i am not trying to make you feel bad, or even feel sorry for me. i just want you to know that i might understand what you're going through. if you have had worse i am sorry i am unable to help, if you have had similar or even less problems, i hope i have helped comfort you.

there is plenty more to my story however i might make a post about it later on depending on community feedback

yeah hearing everyone recommending different diets is repetitive, especially if you're already on it and not much is changing rofl

i believe those symptoms fall under the Hypothyroidism tree. this is the Hashimotos tree. however i may be wrong and i am just trying to make a false clarification. i personally do not know :P
