Dear Jo,
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Our healthcare system is frustrating, and it is not built for people with Hashimoto’s, or many other chronic conditions :(
Of course you should know what condition you have, that should be your right as a patient!
If your body was battling autoimmune disease for close to 40 years (or probably even longer), it did a lot of re-adjustments through years to be able to function. Basically, whenever your body was put out of balance, it found a new balance. What that means that after such a long time, it might be very hard to find one specific source of problems, but rather a bunch of milder problems your body is trying to compensate for. The sum of these milder problems might be experienced as a bigger problem/symptom/condition — diagnosis of dementia in your case.
