Nerve compression - trigeminal neuralgia
Oh yay! Treatable, but likely incurable.
I mean, here's to hoping this explains the years of unexplained migraines at least.
I'm out here collecting new Autoimmune issues like they're Pokémon! Gotta catch them all!
What is it like to live with extreme hypothyroidism...
I'm trying to stop taking T3 (triiodothyronine - liothyronine), but today, in 20°C weather, I had a rather unpleasant bout of hypothermia. My core temperature (measured at the eardrum) wouldn't go above 35°C, and I had stomach pain and shivering. Autumn is just starting here, and it began with damp and somewhat chilly weather. I don't know if it will be possible for me to stop taking T3 because my thyroid isn't functioning properly, and the conversion of T4 to T3 isn't working well at all. The problem is that a day like this means terrible digestion, extreme fatigue, feeling cold, drowsy, and depressed. I can't concentrate on anything. The main reason I'm trying to stop taking this hormone is primarily the price, and secondly, because it tends to raise my blood sugar and induce hypomanic states (it acts as an antidepressant, which I can't take, because I'm bipolar).
That's my life with autoimmune atrophic thyroiditis (Hashimoto).

If you have autism and bipolar disorder, you're a poor kid with two disabilities.
But if you also have high intellectual abilities, gifted, let's say, then you're a damn arrogant jerk.
What the hell is wrong with those people?
It turns out that anywhere, physical or virtual, where you try to mention that you have a very high IQ but at the same time have a lot of trouble navigating the human world, you will be stoned by an angry mob of ignorant people who overvalue intelligence (and hate and fear it).
Yes, I'm a damn genius at many things, as I'm also level 2 autistic and have a pretty severe mixed bipolar disorder. And all of that with real, official diagnoses that required years of therapy, psychiatrists, hundreds of tests and some hospitalizations in psychiatric hospitals.
I have a long list of achievements and professions and an equally long list of failures, illness, and suicide attempts.
I'm now trying to compile information and studies on comorbidities or overlaps of these three things, and if anyone finds anything, please share the link.
Overlap or multiple exceptionality of autism+bipolar+giftedness. I want to delve deeper into this to understand it more thoroughly and refine my personal therapies.
I also have an overlap of autoimmune diseases and metabolic disorders. In other words, it's not an easy matter.
I have been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for almost 40 years and have practiced various martial arts and therapeutic techniques for almost the same amount of time. That's how I've stayed fairly stable for the last 15 years, without psychiatric medication and with very little for thyroid and allergies.
In order to extrapolate the theoretical framework to natural medicine and the methods I use, I need to study much more.
And obviously share all of that with people who have similar problems.

“I really can’t recommend systemic sclerosis as a preventative.”
I was explaining how SSc messes with collagen and causes fibrosis inside and psych made the link with far too much wonder and glee “that’s why you have no wrinkles!”
