I was on a morning walk getting my steps in when I passed a car window and my reflection stopped me in my tracks. My face was pale, puffy and round, shining like the moon in the early rays of the sun. My hands flew to my neck, which looked swollen. I felt around, nothing hurt, but I knew this wasn’t just an unflattering angle. Something was wrong. Sure enough, a blood test confirmed that I had Hashimoto’s disease, a Healthy
