I will try to keep this short by just writing down the main bits. I have been unwell for the last 19 months or so and was quite quickly diagnosed as having hashimoto thyroiditis. I am on thyroxine and some vitamin supplements as a few tests keep coming back low. Iron, folate and vit d mainly.
But my symptoms lessend none and not all fit a thyroid problem. So I am under rheumatology right now I have tested positive for ANA and have recently had ultrasound scans done of my joints which have showed inflammation. I'm not due to see the rhuemy for another couple of months, but would like to know is it looking likely that I have another autoimmune disease.
Ms has been ruled out by mri. But I still get pains all joints. Pins and needles unlike the usual these are really painful and have a weird inner tremor/vibration feeling within and awful fatigue.
I would like to just try and prepare myself a little for the outcome, has anyone had a diagnosis with similar symptoms.
Sorry its so rambly
