Undiagnosed Hashi's for years (probably a decade or so). So frustrating to be terribly sick and not know why. I won't even mention the weight gain -- okay, I will -- 40 pounds in 3 years (and I ride 15-20 hours a week). Argh! Neither of my endos ever tested me for Hashi's (I was misdiagnosed as hyper -- please!). My ENT tested me for it for curiousity's sake in my pre-op tests before surgery for thyca. BTW, docs will tell you thyca is unrelated to Hashi's, but I've met way too many thycans who also had Hashi's to believe that, so keep getting tested and if you have nodules get an ultrasound or RAI scan every year.


You will feel better. I'm 17 months post-op and we've finally got my meds at a level where I feel fantastic! I'm on both levoxyl and cytomel (the cytomel gives me the little kick I need). Luckily my endo treats symptoms in addition to labs.
