I think all of us born between like 1975 and 1985 need a support group for the fact that living through a rolling apocalypse, living with long covid, and starting menopause apparently all have the same symptoms.

I recently had an ear infection and got antibiotic and anti-fungal drops. I’ve had itchy ear canals since my late 20s (41 now) and they’re just…better? ENT told me to rinse occasionally with 1:1 vinegar and isopropyl (or 1:1:1 w water) to keep the microbiome neutral and so far so good. Worth a shot!

*Hypothyroidism clears its throat* Significant overlap there too, esp with the weird sensitivity to temperatures, complete brain melt, and messing with your cycle. I started levo and got an IUS fitted within a couple of weeks of each other on then-nurse's advice and I must send her a thankyou card.

yeah, I've been on levo for a decade so I am probably underestimating that, but I feel like at least I was fortunate enough to get my levels pretty well dialed in before ALL OF THIS HAPPENED

Mine's pretty stable these days but keels over a bit more roughly every 18-24 months. It's still the first thing my GP checks whenever I go in with something new, just in case I've missed something obvious given the slooooowness of brain it causes me.
