Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

[Autunm]

Following a flu virus at age 15, my immune system destroyed my thyroid gland. I spent years living in a fog; sleeping 12 hours, horrible fatigue, weight gain (fluid) irregular periods, horrible depression, high cholesterol, unable to concentrate. I was the poster child for hypothyroidism and it went undiagnosed for 15 years. I threw a clot and it destroyed my hearing. While in the hospital, an ENT noticed that I could not tolerate IV fluids at KVO, as the treatment was IV heparin. He did lab work and at first thought it was a fluke, did it again the told me my diagnosis. Once starting Synthroid, it was like waking up from a deep sleep. Needless to say, my life changed drastically
