Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yes, it is amazing to me that this disease can effect almost everything. I had undiagnosed Hashimoto's disease that eventually turned into thyroid cancer. I also have Sjogren's Syndrome, and spondylitis along with the psoriatic arthritis. Note--- all of these things are autoimmune. I did not have THAT many Problems, until a contracted a nasty MRSA infection after an abdominal surgery About 5 years ago. Then, everything went really haywire. I know what you mean about feeling like an old lady. I have learned to try to take it Just a day at a time, because, otherwise, it gets really overwhelming. I also am single and live alone, and although, no one really wants to hear about what Hurts, or how crappy you feel, it is very lonely and isolating. Especially when the pain, or how the drugs make you feel, dictate so much about what you are going to be able to do that particular day. Thank God for this group is all I have to say!
