Things in my DNA that could explain the symptoms that are neither explained by Hashimoto's nor treated by thyroid treatments:
- Familial Dysautonia
- Guillain Barre
- MG (I have been previously tested for antibodies, but they were not high enough for a confirmed diagnosis. Also the paralysis is more predictable than what is expected for MG.)
Not genetic, but possible explanations: Cushing's or at the lowest, exercise intolerance.
The symptoms of concern:
- Intermittent paralysis: usually after stress or exertion
+ Followed by weakness for a few days to a week afterwards.
+ Sometimes the stress will just cause numbness and weakness instead of full paralysis. I will know that further stress (even lack of sleep) will cause an event when I feel this happen.
- Weaker and less muscle from exercising: went from strong (leg lifting 700 lbs and able to walk 25k steps a day to barely able to stand or walk to the back of the building) with no weight changes from hiking/walking 3x a week.
- Lose breathing, chewing, and breathing: the muscles just fatigue and give out.
- Eyes go blurry, even fully dark, due to light and sharp vision with darkness. Red lenses will correct this.
- Slow heart rate: 60-66 while resting, 40s-50 after exercising, sometimes 80s during stress.
- Flux in body temp: 90-97 normally, when I'm sick it can get 99 (worst flu that hospitalized me it only got to 99). Low & steady = thyroid. Wild flux is adrenal, Dysautonia, and GB.
- "Space out" with full body freeze
- Stuttering with inability think and find words (maybe Topamax is augmenting the dyslexia, maybe it's brain fog)
- Heavy memory loss even before the Topamax
- Personality changes.
