I have MS and deal with other autoimmune issues too. This VLOG was taken right after my total thyroidectomy for Hashimoto’s (10 cm on right lobe, 6 cm on left) in January 2008 and about 6-7 weeks when I had gone totally hypothyroid. Notice the puffy face: myxedema. My TSH has jumped to 40 at this point and I am extremely depressed, tired and have gained about 20 lbs. and cannot budge the scale despite almost 1-2 hours of martial arts training daily.
