That's a bummer, Red. I hear you about the worry re: other autoimmune diseases. It's on my mind a lot.
I'll be curious as to what your doc says. Two of the three endos I've talked to have indicated that I may have both Hashi's and Graves. For the time being, my current doc is still just focusing on my TSH levels and how I'm feeling. But they're right about the dx AND I start to have wild swings, then the easiest thing might be to treat with RAI, although that, too, can induce changes in the antibodies. I'm having a hard time getting my head around the transient nature of the various antibodies that can cause autoimmune related thyroid disease.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
