After many many years of hypothyroidism and T4 only treatment, (based on the infamous THS test...) my husband insisted that we try an Endocrinologist to further treat me. After some of the standard antibody tests, I was diagnosed with Hashimodo's. The treatment??? More Synthroid.... just like the past. I am a walking poster child for hypothyroidism, complete with loss of the outer thirds of my eyebrows! CAN ANYONE please come up with a practitioner that is versed in th...

I'm on 150mc Levothyroxine. Just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last month. I had a sleep study done because I am overwhelmingly exhausted and was told I have insomnia. After doing some research I have found that people with Fibro and/or Hashi's have insomnia issues. Does anyone here have insomnia issues and if so what is your solution.

I was diagnosed with hyper-throidism in 2008, and suspected of having Graves disease as well. Initially I didn't pick up on the symptons because I was always a notoriously bad snoozer, so it was only when I went for blood tests to ascertain the reasons for involuntary shaking that the diagnosis was made. Given that I also have ADHD i was sporadic with the medication, and missed a few appointments, so I'm still at the same stage I think...I reckon that it mi...

My understanding is that is pretty young to have hypothyroidism, but it is what it is. What I've since learned is that when someone has an autoimmune disorder, they are MUCH more likely to have others (which has been true for me). A rheumatologist can help test/monitor for other autoantibodies if you ever have health problems in the future. Synthroid has not helped me stay warm (my body temp still runs in the 97s, and I sometimes think I'm alwa...

I'm only in my mid-40s but experience hand tremors under stress and/or excitement (positive or negative). My mom said she's been told she has essential tremors and that it runs in the family. So.......hoping it's just that. As for in the head....? I do have a seizure disorder on top of Hashimoto's, and am on seizure medication. However, every once in a blue moon, I've experienced some kind of head tremor whe...
