" I have had hypothyroiodism for 13 years and the med I am taking works fine. At that time I went to all the way to try to find a cause. Including Cat scam, staying the hospital for a week and did all the lab work . At the end. My doctor gave me a diagonos: unknown autoimmune hypothyrodism. Last month I finally know I have called: sjongren. It is an autoimmune disease. "
