  1. 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.

  2. Lately, there's been too much noise in my mind, residual activity generated by the amount of information I absorb from social media, the internet, messaging apps, and various other sources. This is becoming increasingly difficult for me. My body is aging with difficulty, and my brain is becoming more and more hypersensitive to stimuli. It's not without its challenges to be autistic, bipolar, and have the "curse of intellectual ability." And that's not even mentioning the metabolic and autoimmune problems that seem to worsen with each passing year and month.
    Honestly, I'm exhausted, not from activities, stimulation, or relationships anymore, but from the mere fact of having to stay alive every day. From eating and defecating to breathing and sleeping, it involves a lot of difficulties, worry, and time that I have to dedicate to it daily. The very basic functioning of my body takes a heavy toll every single day.
    I can still do things—go out, walk, read, program, play guitar—but I can hardly work on anything very demanding for more than one or two hours at a time. Living like this is becoming a real nightmare. I'm a burden to my wife, I have very little work, and I don't even earn enough to buy the medication I need and my food (which is becoming increasingly restricted).
    I see people on the internet romanticizing the fact of having autoimmune diseases and mental illnesses or conditions, and I wonder if they really have them and understand how awful it is to live like that.
    Every achievement he has had, everything he has done throughout his life loses all meaning when he reaches this situation.
    One of the things I'm considering is gradually reducing my digital activity or even quitting it altogether, but I don't do it completely because it's one of those things that keeps me entertained and prevents me from going out into the street with a chainsaw and attacking anyone who looks at me the wrong way.
    Okay, enough complaining. Maybe I shouldn't even be saying this here, but this is a place where there are people like me with similar problems, and they'll be able to understand my current mood.
    I'm not saying this to ask for sympathy or hugs. It's just like I have a fart stuck in my soul and I want someone to hear it so I can laugh a little at my misfortunes.
    I'll think of things to share, anecdotes, lessons learned, stories, poems and tales I have saved, as if to rescue light things to compensate for the shit of anguish.

    Bye..

  3. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroxine, a hormone responsible for regulating many bodily functions, including heart rate, body temperature, growth, and activity levels. Therefore, in cases of hyperthyroidism, the body becomes "quickly active": palpitations, weight loss, anxiety, sweating, and sometimes tremors.

  7. 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).

  11. #Takotsubo syndrome is a dangerous stress-related #heart disease. Since #T3 upregulates β-receptors, we assumed a link to #thyroid homeostasis. With machine learning, we identified interesting allostatic patterns.
