Any links to Degenerative Disk Disease in the spine

[Guest guest]

Hello

I have read some thoughts that suggest that Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD)

could also be an auto-immune condition. Everyone is supposed to have some form

of this by the age of 60 since it is the natural aging of the discs whereby they

turn from nice, spongey, shock absorbers into thin bits of leather leading to

the verterbrae having no distance between them. Some people have pain, others

not. I can hardly move in the mornings. I got diagnosed aged 45. Some people

can suffer from their 20s. I just thought I would ask if there are other

sufferers out there and whether anyone knows any links to hypothyroidism.

Thanks in advance, Louise
