  4. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    Hello, After finding a good Dr (from a post that I earlier posted \o/), I was able to get T3 recommended for me. As soon as I started T3 (04/19) it instantly gave me an energy boost and I didnt feel as drained and sluggish anymore. Started T3 on 04/19. Next week the following symptoms...

    Hello! Few months ago I started really looking into my health, family history etc. and noticed that things I learned in the past just do not add up. I come from south-east Poland and was 6 years old when Chernobyl happened. I remember that day and getting iodine tincture to drink. My sister...

    Hi : ) I've been hypo going on 9 years now, diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2006. For the first 6 years I had little fluctuation in my hormone levels, even thru two pregnancies.

  11. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    I am curious if anyone has any experience of having increased autoimmunity from natural desiccated thyroid? I know that T4 only supplementation didn't worik for me because I had T4 buildup, normal tsh and basically zero T3 when I was on it but since switching to Armour 5 years ago it seems like...

    I have Hashimoto, I try to manage it as much as I can with thyroid replacements, fish oil, selenium + zinc supplements and the paleo diet but I still have some thoughts about the gluten problem.

    Dear Hashimoto-survivors, I'm asking myself this question for a long time but couldn't figure this out yet. How come that your face/cheeks/eyes/hands is swollen/puffy when you have hashimoto's disease? I'm sure it has something to do with to overall functions/metabolism of the patient and the...
