Body Breakdown

For the last year or so, I've had a lot of joint pain whenever I get up.  It takes me about 30 seconds or so for my legs to start working without hurting.  I have to walk it off.  I think it's part of the thyroid thing because everything is off hormonally plus I'm carrying extra weight.  At least I hope that is all it is and I don't have to start looking at rheumatoid arthritis treatments anytime soon.  Maybe it is from doing knee slams in cheerleading and it's catching up to me.  I hope at 38 I am not looking at arthritis anytime soon.

When you have one autoimmune disorder (my thyroid problems), you have a higher chance of developing another.  I'm just waiting for a Lupus or MS diagnosis.  Now that would stink!  Hopefully my new doc will get my hormones back within normal levels and I can stop worrying about my body trying to keep up with its needs when it doesn't have what it needs to do so.
