I began my blog in late 2008 partially as an attempt to archive my experiences in learning to cook gluten free.

By December 2008 I...
I'm a person living with thyroid disease. I went 4 or 5 years being mis/undiagnosed until 2003. My blog Life With Hashi chronicles my daily struggle with the Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, weight loss efforts, and any health information that I find of interest. It's my belief that those living with an autoimmune disease be their own patient advocate. Learn as much as you can so that you are...

I've had Crohn's disease for over 20 years. I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and an underactive thyroid gland. I have great support from my doctor and have just tested positive for Rheumatoid factor.
I've read up on the subject but still don't...
I lost a kidney and have just recently found a path to take because a Doctor took the time to listen and realized I was not a hypochondriac or a big overly sensitive, stressed, depressed woman. (yes, lots of justified sarcasm).
I was athletic, very lean and continued to stay fit by enjoying bike rides and playing recreational co-ed softball. However, when I started a family at 25, I had...
