About Me
- Mel
- Hi! I'm Mel, a 35 year old gal who suffers from the autoimmune disease Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I try to live the best life I can. I am in no way, shape, or form my disease but a good deal of the time my body and mind will not let me forget that I am sick.
I try take each day as it comes and try to put up the good fight. I often want to do more than I physically and mentally can which causes frustration. I am learning to cope with this. I have good days and bad days. Sometimes I overdo it on the good ones and then pay for it the next few. I try my best not to take anything for granted and perhaps this is the one gift that my illness has given me.
I often marvel at the fact that the media and astonishingly not even the medical community at large seem to be aware of autoimmune diseases.
My ultimate goal is to reach out to others who are also experiencing the same symptoms, to get talking and start acting to effectively bring about awareness and medical research ultimately giving rise to a cure.
We may not have the energy all the time but we sure have the heart. :)
