Hi, I just wanted a place to post a bunch of things I found online about having a chronic illness. For those of you that don't know, I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which doctors don't really see fit to treat at all. It's autoimmune, so basically my body is attacking my thyroid and causing me to be hypothyroid and the doctors won't give me enough medicine so that I can even function to a minimal level. I've also been depressed for most of my life. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome, another illness that doctors don't treat and sometimes don't even believe is real. I have pain throughout my body, though it's mostly in my feet and my hands. I'm constantly severely fatigued and no amount of sleeping or rest ever makes it go away. Anyone else with a chronic illness, whether physical or psychological, is welcome to join in. I know others here have had the "lovely" experience of being dismissed and condescended to by people in the medical and psychiatric professions.
