This is a fantastic group of very supportive people who really understand what it is like to live with Hashi's; joining this group is one of the best things I have done for my journey to wellness.

The skin at my ankles and elbows is usually thick, dry and cracked which I think makes them look dirty. I have tried every solution I could find, but it never goes away.

Thanks, that helps. I've never paid attention to carbs before, so it's definitely a huge adjustment for me; just walking through the aisles of the grocery store yesterday I felt like I was literally surrounded by carbs. For me, today is day 3 of Step 1 and while I'm not as hungry I have been craving sweets more than the…

I am on Day 2 of Step 1, and I also have the mild headache. No matter how much of the plan food I eat I am still so hungry. Does anyone have any suggestions for Step 1 foods that are really filling?
