Wow that's amazing DG! Good on ya! Apparently, I had Hashimoto's for years but didn't know - they only found out after my thyroidectomy for the cancer. The good thing is that I am used to being tired all the time, so life on thyroxine hasn't been such a big adjustment! Like you, I've tried to clean up my diet (still a work in progress). I don't have a choice or a problem with the thyroxine, it's a no brainer, I'd rather pop pills for all my days than have Cancer!
