I’ve been on a new medication for IBS for 30 days and I notice a huge difference.

Based on labs my immunologist found that my Hashimoto is causing my rare diseases and other autoimmune diseases to have a domino effect, constantly flare up.

I’ve completed a thyroid scan and next will be a thyroid uptake scan. The purpose is to test for thyroid cancer. I fund funding for my co-pay [$500].

Fibromyalgia
I’ve been soaking regularly, doing stretches, walking, I declined big pharma meds commonly used for Fibromyalgia. I decline all medications that have possible side effects that concern me.
I’ve still been experiencing tender points. I’ve had my medical cannabis license since May 2020. When the pain is very severe, I cover up with a blanket like a mummy and try to not move at all.
