Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

[bobbieinok]

4. Would like info as well

In 77 in Nfld CA I was diagnosed with low thyroid. Learned then that standard test for this used in US often doesn't catch this. Visiting expert on Hashimoto's disease thought I had it, did test and found it. IIRC he said 2 often go together.

I was in hospital because of symptoms that led to diagnosis of pernicious anemia, also an auto-immune disease. Much later I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, another one. Was told that once you have 1 auto-immune disease you're much more likely to get more. Sigh. (Was told diabetes is also an auto-immune disease. Mega sigh.)
