Hi all
Just looking for a bit of help/advice if possible.
I have T1 diabetes - was diagnosed late 2018 - and over the last two years I've been getting increasingly unwell.
My main symptoms are fatigue (incredible at times), mood swings (mainly deep depression), aches and pains and a general feeling on unwellness. I venture out to the shops but that's about all I can manage.
My dad and brother both have diabetes and seem to be able to go about life relatively normally where as I struggle to get through the day I feel so ****.
I've long suspected my thryroid and have had two private tests - both times my anti-thyroglobulin antibodies reading has come back high. It was high on my first reading and higher on my second - the results of which I just got today. The test were 10 months apart.
Has anybody had any experience with this. Is it possible it's Hashimoto's or am I barking up the wrong tree?
My other thyroid readings were all normal (though my free T4 was low on the first test).
My blood sugars are relatively stable (for a T1 that is) and I can't think that I should feel this ill without there something else going on. I may be wrong.
Doctor has been useless.
Feeling pretty hopeless.
Many thanks
Jon
