I have Hashimotos as well. Lots of interesting info out there about what might cause it.
I know my hyopthyroidism contributed GREATLY to the demise of my marriage. I was undiagnosed for too long after the birth of my son. I finally got on the right meds ONE MONTH before he dropped the bomb...by then it was just too much for him to handle. I could kick myself.
I'll pass your note along to Mary! (Her new book is on auto-immune disorders, Hashimotos is one...)
