Hey y'all!! Sorry I've been so absent. i hope everyone is doing well :) And welcome to all the new people!!! I wanted to share some information I learned in a nutrition class about supplementing for good health and maximizing thyroid function. I shared this as a post on my MFP page, but I'm not friends with everyone in the…
I have seen this in a few places on the internet, but want it to be here where we can all read it as many times as we need to. Feel comfort in the fact that you are NOT alone and it' NOT all in your head!!! Hi. My name is Hashimoto's. I'm an invisible autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid gland causing you to become…
I will gather and post links or book names and the like here. This thread will be locked for comments, if you come across something you feel is important and would like it added here so others can see it shoot me a message. I will also grab stuff from other threads and comments to add them as I find them. General Info…
I'm pretty new (again) on MFP and looking for friends who eat similarly to myself. I NEED to be gluten free due to the celiac. I have lost over 60 lbs already and I have no thyroid anymore! It's totally possible to do this!
Hi everyone, I'm new here! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in August and I'm completely confused and drowning in all of this. I had my first visit w an endocrinologist today and it was awful! I told the woman about my fatigue (fell asleep while driving w my kids in the car!), joint and muscle pain, trouble swallowing,…
I was just diagnosed in September and have been on Synthroid and Cytomel since then. My numbers at the doctor today were T4: 1.17, T3: 2.4, TSH: .69, TPO: 1788. Every number has improved except the TPO, it's up from 1500. My doc has me on several supplements and now wants me to start taking turmeric supplements to help…
Hi! I'm using MFP to help me track my progress as I follow the food plan and principles in the Hypothyroidism Revolution by Tom Brimeyer. I track to 50% carbs, 25% fat, 25% protein. I'd love to have an accountability partner who understands I'm not tracking calories, although generally I'm in the 1850 ballpark. My…
Is anyone still around? I had some weird lab results. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (suspected Hashimoto's, but haven't actually been tested) about 4 years ago, I think. I started out on Synthroid 50, and after gaining a bit of weight (due to poor self-care mostly) I had it upped to 75. I have now gained more weight…
I've been having issues for the past several years and was just told I am not just hypothyroid, but have hashimoto's. My thyroid went from borderline hyper to way low. Lately every time I exercise I start feeling sick like a cold is coming on or something. I feel tired all over and almost achy. Some mornings I wake up with…
I have taken Synthroid for 18 years when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Last year I was tested for Lupus because of redness to my face. My ANA came back positive but I had no other symptoms of Lupus. So my doctor sent me to a Rheumatologist that diagnosed me with Hashimoto's last summer. He just keep taking my…
Hello everyone! I am guilty of not actively posting to this group although I think its a great help! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos a couple of years ago and since have been on a roller coaster of diagnosis and constatly changing meds. I was originally disagnosed with Hashimotos and borderline Hypo and put on Tirosint and…
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 3 years ago and have been on Amour Thyroid for most of that time. For the last 6 months I've been on 90 mg and have felt better overall than I have in 4 years. However it hasn't been perfect. I'll have about 5 weeks of feeling like a normal person (awesome!) and then I'll have mixed…

I would love to hear more stories about what triggered your quest for a diagnosis as well as the levels you had when attempting seek treatment. Here is my story written of the last few months. I am very new to this…
