Hi everyone,
I've just got results back from the doctors and I'll give previous results as well. But I have literally all the symptoms and a family history for Graves and Hashimoto's and other autoimmune conditions. I also have (through all this testing) been diagnosed with celiacs. They want to look at fibro as an option but I'm pretty much convinced this is my thyroid. So I guess they're all saying results normal, but I don't feel normal and my aunt who is a doctor and has Hashi's believes I'm at the starting point with it as well... Anyways advice would be welcomed.
