Hello everyone i am 19 with hashimotos thyroiditis as well.

Guys whatever you do DONT see a endocrinologist all are useless and to be honest dont have a clue what they are doing in treating you.

Anti-aging specialists are where its at they know how to help you. They know the exact dose of thyroid you should be on and then adjust results accordingly to how you feel.

Blood tests can be misleading. But its ideal to be at the high normal range for both Free T4 and Free T3 levels.

My labs are: Free T4 - 9 to 22, Free T3 - 3.0 - 6.0. so in this case youd want your Free T4 at 17-22 and Free T3 at 5.0 and above.

Their is also the issue of wilsons temperature syndrome. If your temperature is constantly lower than 36.5 Celcius you likely have it. Low body temperature will cause serious problems. This can be corrected with moderate to high dose T3 therapy for a month or so and then all symptoms will be allieviated without you having to continue the medications.

Hashimotos is linked to gluten intolerance yes. hashimotos can also happen from low iodine intake for long periods of time.

B12 deficiency can also cause hypothyroid like symptoms and hypothyroidism itself. So its always good to be persistant and find out the underlying cause. Even people with pure depression and nothing else (which is rare) have problems with neurotransmitters and once they can get those neurotransmitters up through supplements say 5-HTP for serotonin, L-Dopa for Dopamine their depression might improve significantly without SSRI medications.


Their is also Helminthic therapy this is used to treat autoimmune diseases ranging from MS, Hashimotos, Chron's disease, Ulcerative Colitis etc.

Helminthic therapy is the treatment of autoimmune diseases and immune disorders by means of deliberate infestation with a helminth or with the ova of a helminth. Helminths are parasitic worms such as hookworms. Helminthic therapy is currently being studied as a treatment for several auto-immune diseases including Crohn's diseasemultiple sclerosis, asthma, and ulcerative colitis. Autoimmune liver disease has also been demonstrated to be modulated by active helminth infections.

Their is more information at wikipedia. A friend of mine cured his Multiple Sclerosis with this helminthic therapy.
