Hashimotos?
I recently found out that I have Hashimotos Disease. Not a huge deal but it does effect me in obnoxious ways such as being SUPER tired and having difficulty losing weight (super fun). So I am beginning treatment today which means a strict diet (no gluten, dairy, eggs, caffeine, peanut butter, beef or grains) for a bit and a nasty cleanse shake I take which took me an hour to gag down this morning. Along with various supplements and a lot of doctor visits. I have done A LOT of tests including stool, saliva and blood tests and those will continue throughout the treatment. The entire treatment will take 6 months but the doc said I should feel a lot better in a few weeks. I really hope it works so I can feel like myself again. If you want to learn more about Hoshimotos you can look it up here. I will keep you posted on my progress through treatment.

Good luck with your cleanse Summer ( :
I once bought the Hollywood 48 hour juice cleanse from Walgreens & when the 48 hours of drinking watered down juice was over, I ate an entire bag of tortilla chips and then proceeded to barf them up for a day and a half...but when I say "good luck" with your cleanse I sincerely meant it...I don't know why I even shared my lame juice cleanse story--totally different. I am rootin' for ya!
Good luck! Doesn't sound too fun at all, but I'm sure you'll feel much better once it's over.
Good luck - I hope it helps you feel much better! I can't believe how much Ken and Sophie have grown. I hope they're been helpers while you're working through all of this.
Summer my mom has this! Shas done so much research on thyroids, and even had to have hers removed because it was so diseased. If you ever have questions or concerns she just maybe helpful. Good luck!
Also look into vitamin D supplements Think it a huge issue for women especially ones with thyroid issues. I was recently tested for it and was REALLY low.
:) Miss ya
