Anyone hear of a link between UC and thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's? I know both are auto-immune. Just having some interesting symptoms (joint pain, fatigue, depression, sleepiness, menstrual irregularities) that all point to possible thyroid issues. All are possible UC symptoms as well, but I am supposedly cured of that after j-pouch surgery. Not even sure how to go about checking this out -- family doctor? endocrinologist? Any advice appreciated. (Man, I hate feeling like a hypochondriac! Does life ever get back to some semblance of normal???)
