Have you ever been given any information about APS? (Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndromes). This is when other autoimmune conditions develop after an original autoimmune disease.
Here's a link specifically related to Hashimoto's which may help you understand:

Although the article is about a study to do with the prevalence of Addison's Disease with Hashimoto's there is info in the "Results" section about other conditions associated with Hashimoto's. The commentary is also interesting and may help you to present another medical opinion for your doctors to consider. |
Gosh thanks for this - don't know about any of this and don't know which autoantibodies he checked but they never tested my ANCA for vasculitis and I thought that would be obvious. I will look these up and see if there's stuff I can make sense of. I'm so tired all the time my cognitive reasoning isn't that great. Thanks so much
