Some immune systems protect you. Some immune systems decide, entirely unprompted, that your thyroid looks suspicious and must be dealt with immediately. Yours chose violence.

The 'Kicking Hashimoto in the Ass' tote is for all the tough autoimmune thyroid disease warriors out there. The ones with insanely high TPOs and white blood cells that declared war on a small butterfly-shaped gland that was simply trying to regulate your metabolism and mind its own business. The ones who have had to explain their illness to someone who said “but you don’t look sick” and smiled politely instead of saying what they were actually thinking. 😂

Black tote, white font — as white as your white blood cells fighting the beast. Joyful Objects founder Phyllis knows this lifestyle personally. The insanely high TPOs. The fatigue that is invisible from the outside. The bloodwork described as “borderline” by a doctor who has never experienced what borderline feels like from the inside. You are not borderline. You are fighting something real. Every single day. With a smile on your face and medication in your bloodstream. 💙

It is for the autoimmune warrior who tracks her TSH quarterly and advocates for herself in a medical system that took years to take her seriously. It is for everyone who is resilient with lab results. It is for the woman whose babushka survived everything with whatever thyroid she had left — and who is doing the same, with better data. 😂
