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?

Its an autoimmune disorder, supplements will not help. According to a quick search, it can be genetic, and it has a steong hormonal component. If anything happened to increase those levels, that would make sense. Try seeing a doctor to see what medications/treatments they would recommend.

Yeah I am wondering if being on birth control for 7 years screwed up my hormones.....that stuff is just bad. Anyways screwed up hormones = screwed up thyroid @Dontknowme

Yeah. Its at least worth a conversation about. From what I read, it seems like theres a good chance it could help. Dont have to commit to anything with them, just talk and see what your options are. Nobody on here can really help you.

@Dontknowme well I was hoping someone else would share what they do if they have it. Some people find improvements with diet some with medication

Yeah, and I feel for you. Im just very wary of medical advice, especially in this day and age where a meaningful number of people still think you shouldnt vaccinate. Im not a doctor, I can only tell you what Ive read (on actual sources, not these health nut sites) and say you should talk to one. The problem with asking everybody, is you will get people who dont know what they are talking about, and thats dangerous. Its your health, your body, and you deserve better.

In these matters, no advice or opinion is more valid than the professionals.
