Close Rheumatoid Arthritis
Early 2006 I was dx with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and began taking Levethroid. In November of 2007 my hands and wrists began swelling and aching. Two months ago I was dx with RA. I used to be fun and lively and did a multitude of activities. I am now tired, achy and depressed, I have gained weight and am a shell of my former self and this makes me SAD.
Treatments
- Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
- Don't notice anything with this. Obviously a vitamin.
- Hydroxychloroquine Not Working
- Not working will be taking Methotrexate
- Methotrexate Too Soon to Tell
- Was super sick first dose. Noticed that I don't hurt as much for the first 4 days.
Close Hypothyroidism
Early 2006 I was dx with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and began taking Levethroid. I went to 5 different doctors because I could not believe that a silly little thyroid could make me soooooooooooo sick. It could...and it did...Just when I thought I had that under control...my body threw me for a loop and decided to give me another little present...RA...
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- I took 1.5 years to get my dosage right.
Open Organ Transplants
Types: Kidney (Renal)My 11 year old nephew has needed a kidney transplant for 3 years now. At 8 years he woke up one day and felt feverish and sick and bam his kidney's just stopped working.

Open Anxiety
I had my first panic attack in 2003 on an airplane. I did not understand what was happening to me. July of 2005 my father passed away and it affected me tremendously. From 7-05 till 1-08 I stopped traveling. Shopping. Visiting family and friends. I had a hard time even driving to work. I made every excuse I could to get out of meetings. Panic Attacks were ruling my life.
