The Pill Popping Comode and Hashimoto

Yes, I know it sounds strange, and it was. Sunday night I was getting ready for bed, and I accidentally knocked an entire bottle of muscle relaxants for my back off of a shelf and into the toilet right as it was flushing. The toilet sucked the bottle down before I could grab it. This was not a small prescription bottle mind you! I'm not saying the pills fell out of the bottle into the toilet. The toilet swallowed the medication, bottle and all! Anyway, I thought for sure it would plug up the toilet in some form or fashion, but it didn't. Apparently we have a monster comode! :) Anyway, enough about the toilet..... I heard from my endocrinologist yesterday, and I do have Hashimoto's Disease. As I said before, it is an autoimmune disease and there is no cure, but the goal is to get it regulated with medication. The doctor thinks I may also have something called polycystic ovary syndrome, but he's sending be back to my ob/gyn to check all that stuff out. The short of it is, I have some hormonal imbalances that he doesn't specialize in, so he's sending me somewhere else for that. Please continue to pray for my Grandma Thomas, she has gotten worse, and we are all worried about her. Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.
