I am wondering if there is any link with Hypothyroidism?
I have been joining up some dots. Dry eyes, dry mouth, difficulties with swallowing, joint pain, fatigue, etc etc. Spoken to some people who have it, think I may have it also.
Just wondered if anyone else has it and how did you get diagnosed?
I have Secondary Sjogrens, although i,m not sure what to, as i have scleroderma, PBC, and hypothyroidism. My eyes are very dry and i have to put gel in them frequently, and they get quite mucky. I have been referred to an opthalmologist and am seeing them in June. I also get a dry mouth, and occasionally i get lumps in my neck. When this was scanned it showed patchy saliva glands, so it looks like these are getting blocked, so i am also seeing someone from ENT in June. It will be a busy month!
Thank you - I will be seeing my opthalmologist soon, and also my dentist. Hopefully the GP will agree that this is what is going on. I should have shares in eye drops, and can drink for Britain!
That is very interesting, because I have rarely needed a plaster for cuts - clots so fast. Thank you very much for the info. I am off to see the GP tomorrow to ask for a diagnosis, wonder what she will say.
Hi If thyroid disease autoimmune, most is, then you can end up with lots of autoimmune diseases, watch out for them , then get them treated if it is possible,
Best wishes,
