Spinal Fusion Back Surgery (14 years old)

Spinal Fusion Back Surgery 
(14 years old)
These are old x-rays from when I first had spinal fusion back surgery. I had 50°+ curves Scoliosis and I wore an overnight back brace every night for about 2 years or so. (12/13 years old) It didn't help and my curves just got worse. I still deal with back pain (up and down my whole back). Medications are helping.

Living with Hyperthyroidism/Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism/ Hashimoto’s Symptoms  I have Hypothyroidism and the fatigue is like a whole new level of tiredness oh my gosh. Also the sweats/heat sweats heat intolerance/night sweats 😓. I have other symptoms but those are the main ones that can really bring me down at times. I take thyroid medicine and get lab work done as the doctor tells me. I just wish I could have more relief. Less days of symptoms or length of them. I deal with enough as it is with severe back pain & arthritis in my lower back. Spinal Stenosis. Tremor/involuntary movements jerks. I'm 32 will be 33 in February 2026 but some days I feel older. I'm trying a super b complex supplement to see if it helps and vitamin d. If not I'll be going to doctor's. I'm trying to do natural/supplements before potentially having more prescriptions to take on top of already.
