I went from a fully functioning healthy vibrant young adult female working full time and taking care of my family and enjoying life to totally debilitated in a day.  My symptoms came on suddenly and acutely mid-June 2023.  Then they slowly improved over the course of the next 3-6 months (after being diagnosed with and treated for acute viral thyroiditis) before symptoms resurged suddenly and acutely again in January 2024. Which prompted another trip to the hospital Cardiological sx: Rapid heart rate  Palpitations  Pressure in chest Tachycardia High blood pressure Shortness of breath Heavy pulse in neck Neurological sx:  Shakiness, tremors in hands Tingling, pain and numbness in fingers, lower legs and feet Trouble with gait, unsteady balance Poor motor function and dexterity Dizziness, lightheadedness Difficulty with concentration and focus Brain fog Headaches Endocrinological/ hormonal sx: Lower temperature ranging from 96 -98 degrees No period/ monthly cycle Hot flashes  Vaginal dryness  Breast tenderness  Night sweats  Thinning hair and eye lashes Dry skin  Goiter in thyroid  Tender swollen thyroid  High cortisol levels on multiple blood draws and with multiple 24 hr urine and salivary tests Other sx: Extreme Fatigue  Heaviness in legs Pain mostly in neck/ chest area.

Next steps in my mind were neurology and GI treatment however, my PCP encouraged the local hospital or Clinic . We were wondering about MS or other potential rare neurological or endocrinological conditions . I had a whole battery of symptoms ranging from the areas of cardiology , endocrinology and neurology as stated above. Symptoms came on abruptly June 2023; not slowly over time . Pain was off the charts . Greater than 10 on a 1-10 scale . I've never had an issue dealing with pain . I typically handle pain pretty well . After multiple outpatient doctor visits, ER visits  and hospital admissions I was dx with thyroiditis . I was out of work for 3 mos June - Sept 2023 . Seemed to improve over the course of 3-6 months and then began to decline again and symptoms increased substantially. By January 2024 I was back in doctor offices regularly, and back in the ERs and hospitals .
