Feeling awful
Georgie, I also have Hashimotos.
Before I quit drinking, I had a whole host of symptoms and none of them I attrributed to alcohol. I was overweight and bloated. My joints hurt and I could not sleep. I went to the ER once because I thought I was having a heart attack. Once I stopped drinking for good, all of these symptoms went away eventually. I found a good doctor and my thyroid problems are completely under control. I also felt alot of emotions when I first quit drinking; sadness, anger, etc. Looking back, I see that it was all quite normal for these feelings to surface given that I numbed my feelings with alcohol for many years.
