Thank you for these relevant and much needed discussions. 12 years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroidosis, and since then have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis. Just to know that there is research and knowledge bases being taught regarding these together is fantastic. Most doctor’s have never listened nor treated me cohesively. It needs to be a team effort instead of compartmentalization.
