Hashimoto ftw!

Just got an awesome call from the doctor - we have a verdict! Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Feels sort of official now.

My blood numbers came back in the "normal" range, but right on the edge. I'm borderline hypothyroid, as a result of the Hashimoto's.

She's starting me on 25 mcg thyroxine - very low dose. Will check back in six weeks to see how I'm responding.

I am hoping for the following:

1. At least moderate de-goitering. The thyroxine should make it so the thyroid doesn't have to work so hard, and doesn't have to continue to grow to just barely keep up.

2. Resolution of the symptoms of hypothyroidism that I've got.

Phew...
