Very excited to find this forum!

I have Hashimoto’s, Hypermobility (no real diagnosis, mentioned in passing by a NL, am super bendy also have hyper-reflexia), CCSVI without reflux but with reduction in flow both sides, severe vitamin D deficiency and the latest is possible chronic Lyme, mostly based on a clinical diagnosis – low CD57 and past history of a tick bite but no fevers/rashes/joint pain so I’m currently deciding if I want to start treatment.

About to start the FODMAP diet for IBS as well – I’m a barrell of fun!!

I’m so happy to be amongst ‘my kind’ here! I’ve been online for 3 years trying to figure it all out and I finally feel like I’m making some headway here.

Hi Chicken Boo (love the name!) – did you know that Hashimoto’s is very common in EDS? Hmmm. Oh, as is hyperreflexia (expecially below the waist), CCSVI, Vit D deficiency… Interesting, huh? I was tested no less than 4 times for lyme! Do you know what your TNF-alpha, IL-1 and IL-6 readings are? We’re comparing notes! Thank you, and WELCOME to the party! 🙂
