Hashimoto's Disease


Quick update to catch everyone up with the ordeal Kim & I have been dealing with the last 3 weeks… After initially being mis-diagnosed at the ER with a severe reaction to a caterpillar bite June 7th, then given as many as 12 different meds to handle my "allergy" reactions on visits to the ER on June 14th, 18th and ambulance ride on the 22nd (yes, 4 ER visits in 2 weeks!), I was finally diagnosed and began thyroid treatments for Hashimoto's Disease, or hypothroidism on Monday. I'm already feeling better and all swelling has gone. I'm relaxing the remainder of the week and returning to work after the 4th of July. Non-life-threatening, just need to take a pill a day…. Thank you for all your prayers and good wishes! See all y’all soon!
