What are some of your fibro symptoms and how did you get diagnosed, if you don't mind my asking. I've felt like I have more than just the Hashi's (and possible cancer) and I'm not sure how to pursue. I've been hypo, then hashi's, and had 11 nodules in both the left and right lobes. The left came back cold with possible Warthin's Variant and I just got past the surgery.
