I've heard/experienced the sickness thing as well. My sister is convinced a really bad case of childhood flu triggered her fibromyalgia. And when I first really started to notice my Hashi's, I keep having weird episodes, constantly getting sick, a cold I couldn't shake (around three months)interspersed with bouts of fairly severe hives and random allergic reactions. And then I pretty much haven't been 'sick' since, stupid psycho immune system.
As for the blood work, my handy reference book mark suggests that a T3 under 80 indicates hypo. So, yeah, I'd say 16 could raise a flag or two. :/
