You guys are so helpful. Thank you.

I am worried about other immune diseases since if you have one it usually leads to others. Lupus, is a concern. I only found out about my hashis and my raised TPO recently so I am still planning my next steps. I have a new doctor I am going to see but that is why the month wait, actually, its a little more than a month.

I am also looking into iodine, I no many say with hashi's not to use it but I am very interested in Dr Brownsteins results and my naturopath wants me to do the iodine protocol. I am still deciding but leaning towards trying it. I see her again next week. She gave me names of two local people near me to contact that had amazing results with hashi's and the iodine protocol and even more exciting was one of them has Neuropathy in her feet that has gone away. That is exciting so I plan to talk to her also. She says PN in feet with hashi's is more common than most realize.

MrsD:

Tylenol not a worry, I have rarely used it, mostly advil when I had pain for monthlys.

I drink water and only water. Nothing else, no caffeine, no coffee, nothing.

It mostly happens when I am in a flare, like I was shopping in bad shoes and they got into a burn, swollen flare, and I saw one toe looked blue. Then I used my infrared heat, which is not real hot, on them and not right away but a little later I had a flare, and different toes were different colors. When the flare is over they all look normal.

When I exercise when I am done, they are always red but when I am stretching out, I flex and point calves/toes and when they stretch certain areas are real red and other areas are real white.

Its most always during a flare or after walking I see the color changes.

thank you so much for your links and opinions, everyone.
