Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Vickie marker.
Barb,
Thank you for sharing. I also have the same thyroid condition you gave. I thought I had the flu also. It is my understanding that it is one of the most missed conditions in women. Two years ago I was diagnosed with MS.
I did not get help or an accurate diagnosis until I went to Cleveland Clinic. It is an amazing place. Everyone there without exception is caring and will dig deep to get answers for you. I now have a lot of mobility problems. The left side of my body has lots of weakness. I, too, am blessed with a loving husband and family that cares. All my children are out of state, all grown. I had to take a medical disability retirement.
Yet, a look at every day as a blessing. My middle daughter organized a walk to honor me and support MS research. In November she helped to raise almost $4,000 for the National MS Society. Some days my struggles are many but I am thankful God gives me strength. Life is very different for me. I do believe God is teaching me much about perserving and to live a life where He is the center.
I hope your blog will encourage others to see the positive in every situation. You are not alone.
