Auto-immune

So I spoke to my spiritual counselor on Friday night, a nutritionist on Sunday, and my Endocrinologist today and discovered many things that I believe are going to change my life. Unfortunately, the test results determined that I do have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and that my thyroid gland is under-active. She gave me a month supply of levothyroxine, and said that in a few days I should feel a lot better.

I have been thinking about it, and have decided to take the levothyroxine for now. I am also radically changing my diet to strictly anti-inflammatory foods. That means no coffee, sugar, stevia, gluten, dairy etc.

I am sad but also a bit excited to think that taking this pill will cure all of the physical symptoms I have been suffering from for the past few years.
