A traditional doctor diagnosed me with Lupus in 2014. He said I would "die within 2 years if I didn& #39;t start taking medication right away."

He also said changing my diet would not help in any way.

I changed my diet.

I& #39;m still here.

After finding nodules on my thyroid in 2015, I was finally also diagnosed with #Hashimotos last year. Last check was that the nodules are shrinking.

I am currently medication-free and presenting as subclinical. So I try to manage day-to-day with the fluctuating symptoms:
fatigue, hair loss, body aches, dry skin, insomnia, anxiety, depression, irritability, hair loss, unwanted weight loss ... my body is now swinging from hyper- to hypothyroidism. Challenging. But not insurmountable.

My heart was checked. Those symptoms can& #39;t be treated by diet or supplements. So I& #39;m looking for a qualified doctor who focuses on #autoimmune health with experience in natural approaches (recommendations welcome).

I encourage anyone who has found this thread by invitation or chance to educate yourself. When I was very discouraged, the #MedicalMedium series allowed me to take immediate action that started me in a better direction.

#Rebounding for 5-10 min daily is a gentle way to get your lymphatic system moving.

It& #39;s challenging to feel confident in public when flares attack your face. A flare made my mouth look like the exorcist this month (me below)... these are times I realize #gratitude is the only way forward. Who cares what I look like - I& #39;m alive! #lupus #Hashimotos #autoimmune
Resharing this one from @TheDaisydean for #LupusAwarenessMonth. I went undiagnosed for Lupus SLE (skin), because my symptoms were mild. If you have more than one symptom on this picture, don& #39;t ignore it. You can request labs from your regular doctor.

Autoimmune diseases (like #lupus) can be affected by a leaky gut. If you& #39;re looking for detail on what that is and what tests to get, this article goes deep.

Super exciting update: after 7 months of a diet free from gluten, dairy, grains, night shades and legumes, I have no anti-bodies present for #Hashimotos. Persistence is paying off.

#Anxiety has been a side-effect of living in constant uncertainty of when a flare will happen. #Meditation is a tool I will discuss more, as it is a habit I& #39;ve been working on ( and failing at ) for some time...
#autoimmunehealth
The most important daily practice, however, has been #forgiveness. It may seem irrelevant to #autoimmune healing. But speaking from my own experience only, I feel it is making a big difference. It& #39;s not easy, but it is a component of healing which all too often gets ignored.
