From the creators of "Living with Autoimmune Diseases" I present... "Living with Autoimmune Atrophic Hypothyroidism".
It's autumn here, but we're experiencing a cold snap. The temperature this morning was 3°C, and inside my house it didn't get above 16°C. Despite taking a combination of T4 and T3 at the highest dose recommended for my weight and muscle mass, my highest body temperature was 35.5°C. At 6 a.m., it wasn't above 35°C. My feet and bones ache, and a little while ago it dropped to 34.5°C, and I was feeling confused and drowsy. With coffee, a coat, chocolate, and protein, plus moving around a lot, I'm starting to feel a little warmer.
Some days my life is a real shitshow and I know it's going to be a tough winter.
