Hypothyroidism & Chronic Pain
Some days, I feel like life has kicked the living crap out of me. I can barely roll out of bed in the morning from the lack of sleep and amount of pain I am in. Trying to remain positive and hopeful that the doctor will finally listen to my concerns at my next appointment.
The chronic pain started about a month ago. I was sitting in the car when a sharp, stabbing pain shot down my arm. I had never felt pain like that before. And trust me I had 2 children natural I know pain. The pain escalated and moved to other parts of my body. My neck, lower back, legs, knees, arms and shoulders. Sometimes the pain is so unbearable I begin to cry like a big baby. Then the muscle spasms began.
Up to this point I have tried to stick it out, I just blame it on stress and my lack of physical activity, but the more I research the more I find that the two are related. I just want to scream... Not only does my hair fall out all the time and have constant fatigue now I am forced to live with chronic pain. Something has to give. Within the last few months my migraines have worsened, my anxiety has skyrocketed and no matter what I try to do to lose weight it doesn't work.
There has to be a solution. Answers to my questions. I just want to feel normal again. I hope things change when I see this new doctor. How do they expect me to live a happy, normal life if I cannot even get out of bed without feeling like a dump truck ran me over.
My friends I tell you this disease although it is invisible, it is not something to ignore. The way I feel on a daily basis and the pain I endure is horrible and no one should have to live this way.... EVER!!!
As I continue on my journey living with hypothyroidism, I will update you all when I have received some answers.
Until Next Time,
Samantha Jan
