Doctors have been convinced since I was 15 that I have an immunological disease, but evidence of one has never been found... until now.
I have neuropathy/paresthesia that is visible on an EMG which is not related to diabetes (because I don't have diabetes) or my back injury/surgery. If you combine that with chronic migraines, weight gain, sinus tachycardia (with no heart problems) and chronic illnesses, you get Hashimotos disease.
Are there other possibilities? Yes. Well see what the blood tests reveal on Wednesday. But every specialist (two neurologists, a cardiologist and years of physicians) have suggested two causes: thyroid + immune system. When you combine the two, you get Hashimotos.
... at least it would answer some questions.
