Yes I have hypothyroidism 5years ago and I have hashimoto's( autoimmune disease when antibodies attack the person's thyroid)I'm on treatment I used to take 50mg euthyrox now 100mg.
We could be looking at an entity known as Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome (APS). This disease is characterized by auto antibodies that target more than one organ, usually the thyroid gland, the pancreas (in which case you get diabetes), the intestines (thus precipitating celiac disease which is gluten - the protein in wheat- sensitivity or other forms of intestinal disease in which there's atrophy on the intestine with resulting poor food absorption and thus bloating, constipation or diarrhea ), the ovaries (causing menstrual irregularities or probably infertility), the liver (causing elevated liver enzymes), and the skin, in which case you get Alopecia (hair loss) or vitiligo (loss of skin pigmentation).
If this is indeed the case, then more tests need to bedone tocconfirm the diagnosi. The tests will ddepend on the organs that we wwould like to assess (so for eexampl, if we wwant to ccheck if you have pproblems in the oovarie, we sshould measure eestrogen LH FSH). A useful genetic ttest would be HLA-DR mmutation which is aassociated with APS.

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
