What’s Wrong With Me? My Story

I would like to thank Nicole for coming forward and sharing her ongoing struggles with auto-immune disease. I too have been going through this for several years now. It was back in December of 2012 when I was diagnosed with Graves disease and let me tell you it wasn’t fun. The symptoms I had could’ve been anything. And with all of the chronic illnesses there are, it’s easy for a doctor to be dismissive and suggest that it’s all in your head. Especially if you’re a woman. Especially if you’re a black woman such as myself. But that being said, let me just say that I felt like shit and let me also tell you that I honestly and truly believe that the symptoms I had back in 2001 were just the beginning. The first being an anxiety attack. Never in my life had I ever had one of those That was scary. Your heart starts racing, and you feel as if you’re going to pass out. And each time It happened, I went to the doctor and was told I was fine. Maybe It was all in my head. I remember my mother saying to me; “If you keep going to the doctor and they keep telling you that you’re fine. “Then they're going to start thinking that something else is wrong”.

I knew what she meant, but I also knew how I felt. And I didn’t feel right. I’m not going to lie I was a worrier, something many frown people upon, but let me tell you that it can be a godsend. Years later a curve to the column of my neck. I thought nothing of it. Thin eyebrows. But my eyebrows were never thick. Weight loss. Well, that was an easy answer. I had changed my diet. Cut out the carbs and increased my greens. Scratchy eyes. I attributed that to allergies. But then other issues started to happen. Insomnia, Irritability. confusion, weakness in the legs. Extreme sweat and heat.

You Now Have Congestive Heart failure Due to Thyroid Toxicosis, And You’ll Probably Have It for The Rest Of Your Life

It was December 12, 2012, that I almost lost my life.

When I first got there to the emergency I was disoriented. My blood pressure had shot up and my heart rate was faster than the machine and barely functioning at 10 percent. My kidneys weren’t functioning properly, I had put on 10 pounds of water weight in what seemed like a couple of days prior and my body felt like it was on fire. Everything I ate I threw up. My immune system was shutting down. I remember the Endocrinologist coming into the room and looking over at my mother, awestruck. “Never in my whole career have I ever seen a case like hers. “I don’t understand. How is she even alive? That would be the question on every doctor and nurse’s mind who saw me. How?
