as I think the drs are at a loss.

last year I developed palpitations ,sudden weight loss all out of nowhere. was eventually diagnosed with hashimoto thyroiditis. since then I have a inner tremor/vibration feeling within hard to pin point more generalised
tiredness (which is not me usually)
bowel troubles diarrhea/constipation
achy joints/ muscles
random rashes
face pressure at times.
spaced out/giddiness. .

the endocrinologist says it shouldn't be like this.
Could I have another autoimmune disease, which one?

who would diagnosis the others? gp mentioned rheumatology but nothing since.

sorry bit of a essay. but have felt like thia for a year and feel like haven't been helped with what it could be.

Hope you get to see the rheumatologist soon. Look up the various symptoms you have and sort out which ones could be relevant to an auto immune disease they would be looking for, talk to them about that.

If I were you I'd want to talk to the endocrinologist again about the palpitations and any risk to your heart, and what could be done about it.

Thanks.

I have had ecg's and 24 holter monitor nothing untoward happening with my heart apparently. and to be honest the palpitations aren't frequent. mostly its the vibration feeling which doesn't point to anything in particular. gp says its just atypical. hopefully I find out something with the rheumatology appointment soon.

won't change what I feel presumably. but a diagnosis would be great.
