I have had several thyroid scans and they all said i had a benign growth. Today I saw the specialist and he said that the growth was my Thyroid. That my immune system basically ate my thyroid. He stated it is Hasimotos disease. Everywhere I look for info it's says that the disease inflames the thyroid. Also I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and have many nodunless in my hands and feet that get worse with exercise. I also have trouble controlling my bowels after eating.. Any suggestions or answers? Has anyone else had the same issues?
