Hashimotos and new problems??

by Dollyvg, Jul 24, 2009 12:26PM
I have had H.T. for two years now.  I take a synthroid supplement every morning.  I have had one 'strange episore of eosphagitis (lasting for a cople of months) and now find my fasting blood sugars are climbing.  I have stiffness in my knees when I go down stairs and the big thing, recently is I now have eustatian tube dysfunction.  Have some very painful episodes while waterskiing this past month..  Now feel stuffy and full in ears and I am afraid to fly to see my Aunt next month..  I show an allergic reactive to scratch test on my forearm.. even reacting to saline!!  This was called Dermagraphia.. I am getting the run around at Kaiser. No one puts anything together for me.   They tell you the minimum and I have to ask for tests I read about.  One department sends me off to the next department..?  I finally have an appiontment with a Rhumatologist in  the end of August..  I  am afraid I am getting other autoimmune issues and feel like my body is shutting down..  What can I do? I am an active person and only 55...  Thanks so much for any comments..

Yes, about a year and a half ago..  It was negative..  Maybe it should be repeated.  I think I need to ask for many tests to check out my immune system and antibodies.. I really feel like I am getting worse, quickly now.?? Starting to get a bit afraid.  I don't want to live my life in pain.  I have always been so active.
