Dahlek, you are truly a rare and precious resource for us! You need to go kick some Dr's backsides, and I'll join you! Thyroid Storms are yes, so very, very common and so treatable...when caught early. But, they are most common in the Graves crowd, and fairly rare in us Hashi's. Hashimoto is truly more of an autoimmune disease and toys with the thyroid, as almost an afterthought. However, a storm is a Storm is a STORM in either case!!! Drs see Hashimoto history and toss a possible storm right out the window - to them, they're taught it is rarely a consideration.

Dahlek is dead on, As the one with the diagnosis, NEVER ignore a symptom that is different to YOU . Pound the change into your Dr's head, if you have to (if he's clinging to schooling that says "Nah, this shouldn't be happening"). Learn all you can from others. That might very well save your life,
