Thanks! Yes, the Hashimoto's is more common, especially in women. BTW, just in case anyone gets it twisted, the word Grave's doesn't mean I'm going to the grave anytime soon! It was discovered by some DR named Graves, lol. I just have to take medication every morning to control my thyroid and I'm fine.
