I have Hashi's, Hashi's does not have me

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2003. In 2013 at my request I asked my doctor to test my TPO levels. It came back positive for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I since have contracted many other autoimmune illnesses. I am able to manage them an some days or even weeks I hurt more than others. But I don't let them stop me from living or define me. I have Hashimoto's but Hashimoto's does not have me.
