me too thats what I have too. I'm new but I have autoimmune hashimotos hypothyroidism and was put on synthroid for it I also have pcos which I was told was also autoimmune I also have a history of childhood eczema and arthiritis. my dc told me that autoimmune basically means "we have no idea why" but persons with one autoimmune disorder generally have other autoimmune diseases and hypothyroidism and pcos are commonly seen together and complicate each other the pcos will make your insulin levels to go crazy and hypothyroidism will stop the body from absorbing it correctly making you gain weight and further complicate the pcos I recommend you get yourself a new doc. you have the right to know whats going on with your body and god only know dr's get paid enough to sit down and talk you through your condition and if you don't... find someone who will I hope this helped a lil |
