Autoimmune Disease Help!!

OP, Don't worry. It is a manageable situation using medicines. The symptoms you have mentioned are typical ones for hypothyroid.

Have you consulted any endocrinologist. If not, you have to do that first . They will give you thyroid medicine ( eg: levothyroxine). You have to take that medicine every day morning in empty stomach. You can eat any thing else only after half an hour. This is to ensure proper absorption.

You may have to take this medicine life long . It is good to follow a healthy diet, but it won't help thyroid issue . Taking medicine is the only option for hypo thyroid with hashimoto.

Next step is to have a blood test to make sure your vitamins D levels are normal. If it's low you have to take vitamins D too. Recent studies suggest a link of vitamins D and autoimmune diseases. It's deficiency can affect immunity and also prevent calcium absorption . Also make sure that you are not anemic. That can severely affect health of hair. If anemic,you may have to take iron supplements
Take care
[I have hypo thyroid with hashimoto .My TSH is normal now. But hashimoto creates an on and off situation. So most likely I have to take medicine life long]

 

Pls do yoga regular and do meditation for few min. Imagine you're getting better.
Drink more water and continue medication

 

May be you need more . I am taking 88mcg plus prescription vitamins D. Next time ask your doctor to check vitamins D and iron levels . Mine was critically low . Now almost normal. Anyway continue yoga or meditation and good diet with vegetables and fruits. I read that eating too much cabbage or cauliflower is not good as it reduce efficiency of thyroid medicine . Pl read about it.
