Loc: Ewing, NJ, USA (IBS-D, Vegetarian)

specifically Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which means my immune system attacks my thyroid causing it to not produce enough. And thyroid tests aren't bad, just a bunch of blood tests. The treatment's easy: I take one pill every morning as soon as I wake up. No calcium or iron for at least 2 hours after you take it. The only problem I've had is I lost weight when I started the thyroid meds, and now I'm having problems gaining it back, but I've always been small and had problems gaining weight.

*HUGS* Let us know how the tests turn out!
