Searching for the right treatment so I can star living a life with dignity

[Warrior62]

I was diagnose with hypothyroids right after the birth of my first child, but not diagnosed until 2000. I was like a robot . I rarely speak never go out . I was isolated from my family (domestic violence) I was living in a severe poverty abused by the father of my children. He rarely work and when work was to use it for his addiction. Now after 20 years that I escape from him. Went to school and obtain a MS. I realized that every medical condition it's similar to each other. My first issue was domestic abuse survivor, my second, was hypothyroids, third, workplace abuse, second, SEVERE depression, anxiety, Absent seizures, Cognitive impairment, mild Autism, PTSD. So I want to understand how come every medical sources diagnose me with different diagnosis. Do I have all of that? Or all are similar? Also, each unfold the other one?

I would join the thyroid uk group on here as a start and make sure that your hypothyroidism is being treated properly. Then see what else it fixes if anything ( unlikely you are on a good treatment as many of us find out later) and try to attack your problems one at a time.

Doctors don't understand hypothyroidism very well so generally it is treated badly and better treatment might help with the depression/ anxiety. You may need HRT too.

As you say, everything, particularly hormones, interacts so it is best to look at systems as a whole to get treated properly. However, you need to take it step by step, changing one thing at once or you won't know what is helping.

Sorry can't help with how to get help for the abuse but it sounds like you have escaped that.

Best of luck

I strongly recommend doing what AKatieD says. Join Thyroid UK HealthUnlocked forum. They are the most knowledgeable people I've met on health matters. I expect you're not treated properly for hypothyroid. Most of us aren't. And it affects every part of the body, physically and mentally.
