Help

Does anyone on here struggle with hashimotos thyroidosis? I haven't gone full hypothyroid yet. (Levels are still normal) I just have the auto immune thing and want to know if it can be reversed before I'm full blown Hypo. Any tips? What do you do? Supplements?

Idk except that you will need to get your T3 and T4 tested as well as the tsh. Even if your doctor doesn't want to bother, it's necessary to have regular blood tests to see how you are doing with thyroid medicine. I've got a thyroid problem and it's probably Graves, which tends to cause up-and-down thyroid. I hope you get decent medical treatment.

I've heard of graves it's like the opposite of hashi

@SW-User wow, I tried to get them to test mine after 6 weeks on thyroxine, and they said I had to wait at least another 2 months although I was getting warning signs. I'm glad you've got a good doctor.

Omg yeah I'm gonna see a specialist too so he can check other hormone levels.....I have a theory that if I regulate my other hormones my body will stop attacking my thyroid

@SW-User Yes.

@SW-User You probably need to strengthen your immune system too, but be careful with supplements that are not designed for your condition.
