RA And Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Prince Albert, SK

This is a question for a friend who is ill but is not diagnosed with RA.
I read an article about this correlation and thought I'd ask on here as I have no problems with these And therefore no experience.
Before you were diagnosed with RA but I'll and seeking treatment, did any of you have issues with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease or pituitary issues?
