Hashimotos Flare Up Symptoms | How to Know if You're Having a Flare
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 10. 2019
- Are you wondering if you're experiencing Hashimotos flare up symptoms? This crushing autoimmune disease can have a huge impact on the quality of your life and sometimes it stays in control, and sometimes the symptoms can rear their ugly heads.
In this video I explain the symptoms of this common autoimmune disease of the thyroid. If you've already been diagnosed with Hashi's or hypothyroidism, you're probably familiar with some of the symptoms, but I detail many of the symptoms common with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, because sometimes new ones crop up and they can be SO confusing! Plus I go over how to know if you're experiencing a flare rather than something else (like a cold or virus), the testing you should get, and why medication alone (like Levothyroxine, Synthroid, Armour, Cytomel, etc) doesn't stop a flare and won't help you get over one.
Also, if you've been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism and aren't feeling your best, this may be an important video to watch, as those are often autoimmune in nature and have roots in Hashimoto's.
Hashimoto's (sometimes spelled Hoshimotos) is a very confusing, ill-defined disease and it can get PRETTY lonely - and scary- when you're experiencing a ton of strange symptoms that don't seem to fit together. But if you're suffering from these symptoms that I talk about in this video, know you are NOT alone, and in the next video I'll share what you can do to help find relief.

I can so relate! Dizziness, vertigo, exhaustion, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, feeling like you're living in a parallel universe like the twilight zone...
...and chronic insomnia!
Yeah, it's totally like a twilight zone!
I just was diagnosed yesterday after 15 years.
Vertigo! Yes! I feel like I'm rocking/ swaying a lot!
I have all these but my doctor doesn't give a flying fudge. She is like oh maybe try to lose weight by doing keto and exercise.
I’m sobbing watching this. I’ve had so many of these symptoms for years, YEARS, like going on a decade. I’ve heard (from doctors) that I’m making up my symptoms, that I have severe mental health issues, that my symptoms are in my head, that I’m looking for attention. I’ve been treating symptoms for years but finally was diagnosed today. Thank you so much for posting this. It’s validating and comforting to know that I’m not the only one experiencing this.
Sorry you've had to go through that, unfortunately it's all too common. Hope you can find relief soon! 💕
Good going!! I've had to fight Doctors for 3 years. I was fortunate that my husband is a retired Chiropractor and told many of Doctors off! I kept going and pressing for more and more tests.
Incredible, I feel a similar relief and gratitude even after being diagnosed with hashimotos from blood tests, some of the symptoms I was told were due to depression or anxiety. Like the joint pain, insane fatigue... My daughter even has the heavy cycles and TEETH pain!!!
@@mamat1213 isn't the teeth pain the weirdest?
@Lil G hugs 🤗
I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis about a year ago. I was prescribed Levothyroxine, which I have been taking religiously each morning. That being said, I experienced no benefit from this medication UNTIL I discovered a few things, namely-- the medication works 100 times better when accompanied by zinc. Since I made this discovery, I have noticed my symptoms improving dramatically. Another thing I take for symptoms like inflammation, brain fog, and depression is ground turmeric powder-- two tablespoons a day with water. It is AMAZING what the turmeric does for swelling and inflammation! Lastly, I have been taken Vitamin D3 tablets, which helps my immune system. These things have made my Hashimoto Thyroiditis symptoms so much better! I hope you try this yourself and see if you too have greatly improved health.
I’ve added Maca root to my medication of Thyroxine because the Levothyroxine wasn’t doing anything and then I became allergic to it. The Maca root is a natural booster for thyroid function. I have to say I’m seeing a difference between the B, D, Turmeric, and Maca Root mixed in with the meds.
That’s nice to know. I’ll try adding turmeric to my food. Not so fun fact: while writing this short message I forgot what I was writing about 3 times :’) I’ve been diagnosed this week.
Thank you for sharing. I’m struggling ☹️
@@NathalieOfficial Just do your best. Great support n best advice from your friends here. Big hug ... Is not everyone gets the extremely bad, I hope you're ok n that small percentage. Take it easy. X ( hours to KATIE on here too. I'm struggling myself last few months. I'm SURE there is a cure or there... Like there is for C.

I want to try the zinc thank you
I have been recently diagnosed with hashimoto disease and now everything makes sense. (extreme fatigue, body aches, mood swings, panic, anxiety, heart palpitations, memory fog)
The sad part is the no one around me understands what i am going through 😶
I hope medication works.
Hi. Do you feel better now?
@@MrJony-fv3ev yes.. On medication
I can relate to how you’re feeling. I was told I have a hypothyroid a little over 30yrs ago. At about 16 yrs ago I was pregnant with our now teen son when I was told I have Hashimoto disease. The last few wks I am having what I believe to be a major flare up. Brain fog, exhaustion (which is how it began), anxious, emotional and in excruciating pain from some new body part that is inflamed. This plain sucks. 😢 You’re not alone.
I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's.. lot's of similar symptoms, but the brain fog, fatigue, and memory loss were the most prevalent. I described it as permanently being hung over.
My brain fog was relieved by taking gluten and sugars off my diet.
@@mariarangella thank you! I usually stay away from sugars, but gluten is something I'm working on removing.
oh man, yeah, permanently hungover is a great way to describe it!
@@michaelJpurp Dr Isibor natural herbs and body cleanser on youtube has really created contentment in my life, totally free from hashimotos thyroiditis after long time battle, I suffered alot, and lot of symptoms couldn't take care of my family anymore but now I'm feeling better after taking the herbs and cleansing, you also need to have a comfortable life get to know the herbal doctor his medicine are really wonderful and works perfectly well.
Clarifies so much...🤔
I was diagnosed with Hoshimotos 10 yrs ago. I just like the video said, low-grade fever, always exhausted, & no appetite. I was eating less than 500 calories a day. Then I started to gain weight fast & was eating nothing. I gained 10lbs every month for 5 months! In month 6 I stopped weighing myself. I felt like my body was exploding. I started to work with a great Endo. She gave a very strict anti-inflammatory diet of meat & leafy greens & some meds. I couldn’t have anything that metabolizes into sugar. It’s a long list. It took abt 2 years to get to my normal. She was very compassionate and told there was nothing I could have done on my own. In other words, it wasn’t my fault. The diet really helped. I’m not saying that everyone should do what I did. Check with your Dr.
I just had a appointment with a specialist yesterday and she said some of my symptoms aren’t hashimotos related but I’ve done my research and after watching this video I definitely know it is. I was diagnose with hashimotos 4 years ago and no medical doctors would help. They just wanted to pump me full of anxiety medication. They basically thought all my symptoms weren’t adding up. I went through 4 doctors before finding one that actually tested me for hashimotos because she had it. It’s so upsetting when they don’t care. Just want to put this out here with people that are struggling with doctors thinking your crazy or they are not really listening to you do your own research! I now go to a holistic doctor and have started AIP diet because I bought many books and read online about the benefits! Best of luck my friends and God Bless you! I know it’s a hard road but things will improve! ❤️
Visit Doctor okouromi channel on youTube, his Herbs freed my niece who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and hashimotos within 4 weeks ❤…….❤❤❤
Hello Sydney. How are you doing?
I just got diagnose from one dr. and she did not give me any option but levothyrxin was prescribe but I did not take it. I did some research then I m taking necessary supliments.I wish you well🙏
I got put on levithyroxine for two months and lost 20 pounds when I didn’t need to lose weight so they took me back off of it because it threw me into hyperthyroidism. I had energy but it was wayy to much and my anxiety was through the roof even more so than normal! Even though my numbers seemed fine all my symptoms were pointed to hyperthyroidism and too much medication. We tried cutting my dose down and it still didn’t help. So watch taking levithyroxine. Everyone is different though! I stopped taking my supplements because I felt like they weren’t helping but I am on the search for new supplements and now am going to see a neurologist because I have been having other issues. One doctor said I need my thyroid taken out one of the neurologist I seen but my thyroid doctor said absolutely not so I am at a stand still right now and doing further testing hopefully 🤞 I am thinking I either have another autoimmune disease or hashimotos is causing neurological symptoms. It’s been a roller coaster to say the least. But there’s still hope and I’m just praying I find the answers I need! Best of luck! ❤
For Hashimoto’s or any auto immune disease….MS. CANCER, etc.
Hi everyone. Can eat eggs if have hashi.?
you explained how hashimotos makes us feel so perfectly
This video made me cry. I’m getting tested for it Tuesday, I’m pretty sure I have it. it’s heartbreaking living majority of your life thinking Feeling; foggy, dizzy, experiencing MIGRAINES since 8, poor digestion, off and on puffy body, dry brittle toe/finger nails(a toe nail also falls off each foot x1 a year), IRREGULAR periods (x2 month& HEAVY), “BORING” because I’m ALWAYS FATIGUED, mood swings, TERRIBLE IMMUNE system, anxiety majority of the time “normal” and having to suck it up. I’m happy I will be getting medication for it soon. The day can’t come any sooner 😪. I advise those to take notes of ALL your symptoms so you can get treated as a WHOLE.
You sound a lot like me before I learned what I had and started my diet changes. Have faith - you CAN feel good again. 💕
One day Hashi’s will be properly diagnosed and treated effectively 🙏🍀🤞
I might be the first because my poop fluctuates with soft and constipation and I sweat and get cold. So I am going to straighten with my doctor this Tuesday

@@scottwater4226 see a dr for a life threatening disease that can cause coma and is easily managed with medication ❌
take plant supplements bc some guy on youtube told you to, even tho hashimotos is an autoimmune disorder where your body attacks your thyroid bc some guy on youtube told me to ✅
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 19. I'm 48 now. I have every symptom you listed, accept the bulging eyes, low immune system, and acne. I recently went to an Endo and had a blood work panel done, including cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, etc. I get the results tomorrow. I had to take charge and ask the doctor. They didn't even offer to check it.
Become informed and only work with a dr who will be a guide not a dictator. We call the dictators endoCriminalogists. My new endo said his patients are only 30% thyroid related.
So how did it all work out? I'm interested to know if you don't mind sharing. Knowledge is power.
@jimig399 My TPO antibodies were 909u/ml... Maximum should be 60. .... all other results were normal, including my Cortisol... I've done a lot of research, and they say cutting out gluten and dairy is for the best. I cut out gluten, for the most part. Dairy is very hard for me to eliminate. I've switched from coffee to tea. I just went for blood work on the 10th, so I don't go back in for the results until Tuesday the 25th.
Let me guess, are from UK?
@@mrsshahid5117 No
I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis a few days ago. I went to my doctor because of not having my period for almost 3 months, and definitely NOT being pregnant. This is where it is SO important to get yearly bloodwork, as Hashimoto's mimics so many things.
Mine mimics low ferritin and it was the yearly blood test that said slightly under active thyroid.
Going gluten and dairy free helped me a lot.
Amen
I want to cry you just helped me understand so much. When you said always hungry that hit a nerve I thought it was just a me thin.
Yes! and clears up your skin.
I’m saving this and forcing myself to watch it anytime I have the urge to go off AIP. I teared up watching this. I’ve been gaslit by so many doctors about these symptoms not being important or related. I’ve been diagnosed with 4 different mental health issues and the Levothyroxine has never worked. You’re seriously the sweetest for making these videos.
So sorry your doctors have been so frustrating! I'm glad I can be of some help though - you've got this! 💕
There is a different thyroid supplement called Liothyronine (synthetic T3)which can be added to the principal one, and it did the trick for me, the Synthroid and all the others are T4, I take it but my Enocrinologist gave me that extra T3 one, because mine was low, and I take it twice a day, once with the daily dose of normal levothyroxine and then by itself in the afternoon!!!!! Oh Happy Day!!!!!!! the T4 is a stronger form of Thyroid supplements and might be associated with higher risk of excess thyroid replacement such as palpitations, arrythmias and osteoporosis. It is why he limits the normal T4 everyone gets but then reinforce it with the T3. The divine blend in my case!!!!
Me too. Dr's think your mental problems. Geez!
I was feeling so normal a couple weeks ago; I was making good progress on*all* my goals. Now I'm in a slump, and I don't know why it took me so long to realize that it's a flare-up. Irritable, forgetful, exhausted, aching. I need to remember that I have loving people I can fall back on when my body forgets how to work. Lol
Same for me-stay. Strong!😊
Same here. I just finished a 5 day fast and am on day 4 of another fast after breaking it with one meal. I'm thinking 5 day fasting may help me get over this flare
I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos and one of my biggest flare-ups are neck tightness or discomfort. Does anyone else notice this? I also experience lots of shortness of breath and chest pain followed up with heart palpitations. If you experience this, please let me know! What do you do to help with this feeling?
I experience the neck tightness, especially when I was first diagnosed and when my thyroid meds are too weak or too strong.
Nancy D thank you so much for sharing! That helps me out a lot! Found out the meds I were taking were tooo strong. Thank you!
I was just diagnosed today. My symptoms are the same . I was having lots of palpitations, some neck tightness , swollen lymphnodes , body aches , nervous anxious feelings etc. What meds are you on? My doc put me on levothyroxine 25 mcg. To start off, 6 weeks from now I'll go back in for lab work again.
Yes. I have all of that and more. Super dizzy. Heavy head. Lightheaded. Fast heart rate. The list goes on. Sad to say. Its awful. I haven't been the same person since 2019 since my diagnosis. Hang in there.
Extremely tight muscles is another symptom of Hashimoto’s.
I've had Hashimoto, and the doctor put me on thyroxine, and I'm fine. I have a blood test to check the right levels of thyroxine to take. My symptoms were weight gain, depression, and hair loss, but as soon as I took thyroxine, I was normal.
I have had most of these symptoms from a very young age. But a lot of doctors won't listen to your symptoms. Or just want to treat you for depression.
Depression, anxiety or stress. That's what they say. It's very insulting. ❤
I was diagnosed last week and didn’t know what all was involved. Thanks for your channel!
Wow! There's a lot on here I have definitely experienced and I never knew they could be symptoms.
I just talked to my PA today, got lab results, and am overwhelmed. Then, I found your channel and feel like I have a coach to help me figure this all out. Thanks so much.
Glad I could help! 💕
So so sad. I can relate with so many symptoms she mentioned in the video 😢 fatigue, cold hands/feet, dizziness, vertigo, stomach pain and etc.. it sucks that there’s no permanent treatment for this disease 😥
Thanks for this video, you really helped us understand more what’s going on with us and our bodies 🙏🏻
Thank you very much! This is the best explanation I have seen.!!
So far you have nailed me and my crazy symptoms. I’m allergic to so many things that it is frustrating to find foods that don’t cause flair ups and give energy and calories. Only one I don’t seem to have is the bulgey eyes.
It's great you mentioned that people with hashimoto can experience symptoms of hypo- and hyperthyroidism at the same time. I always thought my symptoms couldn't come from the hypothyroidism shown in my bloodwork because I always also experienced symptoms of hyperthyroidism and thought those symptoms don't come from that
Thank you for the great video! It was exactly what I was looking for, a straight forward list of symptoms of a flare up. Keep up the great work! 💚😁🙏
Thanks so much for watching! 💕
Omgosh! Thank you for making this video. I am experiencing a lot of these symptoms and it sucks!!
Thanks a lot! Very helpful. Getting dismissive answers or non sympathetic looks from doctors was thinking its all me but now I know can relate to each and every symptom. Thanks for your help!
It's NOT all you! Next time you get dismissed or the non sympathetic looks, know that there are thousands upon thousands of us that get them ALL THE TIME. It's really frustrating, but it's an unfortunate fact of life these days. Becoming your own health advocate will help you so so much! I hope you feel better soon!
And to think, I thought I was going completely insane. Going on a 30 day AIP here soon. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who experiences all the flare ups. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 10 years ago and just recently have felt like crap. I go to my doctor's, get blood work done and sometimes they up my dose sometimes they dont. But regardless, these symptoms are very apparent. Thank you for your videos!!
Nope, you are NOT going insane :-) And you're welcome!! ❤️
I greatly appreciate all of your videos, Michele! Hope your well ❤
Aw, thanks so much! And yep - doing great, thanks! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for listing these symptoms I was diagnosed at 35 and now 63 been dealing with most that you mentioned
Thank you for sharing this information, my biggest problem is digestive disorder, mainly bloating, neck and shoulder pain, and I have lost so much hair.
This hits so close to home I have every single symptom except weight loss and the eye thing. It gets so old living like this every day!
I am SO happy I stumped over your channel ❤️ I subscribed at once I heard you talk about Hashimotos‼️ I was diagnostic with it for many, many years ago (don’t even remember the exact year, but I have has it for over 20 year (or close 35-36!) Here in Norway the specialist back in the time told me it was not ANY symptoms related to Hashimotos when I told him how I felt. During the coming years I became worse and worse, but didn’t get any help! I felt lost and confused because of the way I felt and the doctors not seemed to understand or even believe me! I had to remove half of my thyroid gland in 2018 and still the doctors not take anything seriously! They don’t even follow up as they should and my other half of my thyroid gland now starts to give me problems x. It has nodes and they are growing and has pushed/moved my trachea 2 cm. But still they do not do anything. What am I suppose to do? I try everything to stay “healthy” as I have a lot of other health challenges too and also have had a huge cancer operation for soon 2 years ago. I live on anti inflammatory “diets”. Do intermittent fasting 7 days a week for 16 -22 hours. I have eliminated a lot from the foods I use to consume before and only eat 1 or 2 times a day! (Depending on how long I make my fating time!) I hope to learn more and get some good advice after subscribing to your channel. It’s not easy to handle everything all by yourself with doctors that doesn’t take you or your health challenges seriously! And mind you… I am a health care worker by education and profession myself‼️
Omg. The waking & staying up for hours! The fatigue is debilitating. I never thought it would be a flare.
The mystery teeth hurting or referred pain is good to know 😳 TY 4 sharing these bizarre symptoms 🤔 I did not realize Hashimotos flares up ... makes sense after you explained it TY
Ask for a full thyroid panel😎👍
I have been experiencing many of these symptoms for a few years now, getting progressively worse over time which triggered me to start researching if I might have an underlying condition, rather than just getting old. It was only a few days ago that I stumbled across hyperthyroidism and after several days of relentless internet research this video describes the symptoms I am experiencing so much more accurately than anything else I have seen or read. I will now be shocked if tests don't indicate that I have thyroid problem of some sort. I had been thinking I may be developing diabetes, however the sugar craving / crash symptoms described in this video make me think I probably have Hashimotos.
Yeah, sugar cravings and crashes definitely are part of Hashi's - and one of the things that makes it so hard to figure out. I'd still make sure you get tested for diabetes just to rule that out as well, but regulating your blood sugar really will be something you'll need to do either way if you want to feel your best.
Well it might be wise to just go get proper testing instead of obsessing about what could be?
Wow, I wish you were when I was first diagnosed. I have been suffering with Hashimoto's for years. I am now post-menopausal and my thyroid doesn't function at all. This is the first video in your series I have seen. I am looking forward to watching more. Thank you so much.
OH MY GOSH! When you mentioned that your teeth hurt, I teared up a bit. I'm in so much pain. Everything hurts, and when I tell people that even my teeth hurt, I get that 'You're exaggerating' look. Some days, I can barely get out of bed. I'll be going to your site today! Thank you for doing this!
Man, I hope you can start feeling better soon! You definitely aren't alone in that though - so many people have told me it's a symptom as well. We think it's inflammation of some nerve in the face - similar to how your teeth can hurt with a sinus infection. So really concentrate on getting that overall bodily inflammation down and it hopefully will go away. 💕
Yes, my teeth have hurt too 😮
I am inspired to go to the doctor. I feel like I’ve been experiencing about 95% of what you discussed since I was a teenager with increased symptoms as I’ve gotten older. My doctors would check my thyroid and tell me it’s fine but I’ve never had a complete thyroid panel and because I’m not overweight the idea of Hashimoto’s has been brushed off. I’m now 52. Thank you so much for these videos. You have no idea how important they are!
You're so welcome. I hope you can get the answers you need - and deserve!!
I have been diagnosed with fibromialga in addition to Hashimotos disease. I also have arthristis. I started gaining weight for no reason in my early 40's but the doctor said it was my age. 20 years later I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I was an active mother of 7, and worked full time. I still work full time, but I am in paid every day. Ibuprofen is out - it effects my liver. Nothing helps, so I just keep going, and try to keep busy, to take my mind off the pain. This video was very helpful. Thanks for posting!
I have Hashimotos also...Try taking omega 3 found in fish oil. It will keep the inflammation down and ease the pain. Tumeric supplement might also help a lot too along with taking vitamin D. I went gluten free and after a month, I felt a huge difference! Hope you feel better!
If you live in a state where marijuana is legal I suggest getting some for pain. I take gummies every night for it. My doctor approved as well❤
Find out if you have low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia. Doctor must measure your insulin level.
This Veteran Thanks you, just was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis.... been hypothyroidism for 5 years and miserable the docs (VA) would not listen, been suffering every day!! So glad I saw this video.
Sorry you've had to go through this, but unfortunately all too common. Hope you can find some relief soon! 💕
Be bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I just want to give you … thank you so much. !!!! Knowing I’ll be okey without all this nightmare, makes me happy.
Excellent video. Not many people explain that medication only masks the symptoms. Also, even if on medication if your diet is not on par with your body's needs it will throw off that medication and still cause flare-ups.
I am really happy there is somebody like you who told exactly what I am passing through. I have fibromyalgia too along with these flares. Brain fog and memory issues do I have. Getting concentration is another issue most of the time. Except one or two symptoms, all others what you mentioned is what I am really passing through where general public don’t really understand at all...
Thanks a lot Michelle for this video ! 💐
You're welcome - you're so right, the general public really doesn't understand it. But we all do - if we can remember what we were understanding in the first place 😂
True dear... but still I feel very happy that someone who really expressed the fact that these are part of Hashimoto’s disorder... thanks a lot once again...🥰👍🏻
Maybe Fibro is actually Hashimotos?
OMG you listed all the symptoms I have been experiencing & No doctor has ever spoken about these symptoms especially the one u mentioned Apathy & general malaise which are one of the worst to go through
One of the best videos that explains Hashimoto!
I was diagnosed years ago....just thought i had thyroid problems....doctor didnt really explain it to me at all...I had no idea so many people had this, and there was a diet plan...Im so relieved I found your videos...im learning so much....thank you
You're so welcome! Your story is all too common unfortunately.
Guys how Hashimotos can cause vertigo issues? Is that real or myth ? if yes what is the treatment pls
You are a great communicator, teacher and presenter. Very spot on. Thank you for the information.
Wow, thank you! You're so welcome 💕
@@MicheleSpring you are very welcome. I was truelly ignited by your abilities. TY!
Girl i have all the symptoms the you mentioned. Thanks for the information.
Great video. Thank you!
Now that make sense that no doc discusses. In fact no doc out of 10 have ever taken hashimotos seriously. 2005 diagnosed. I’m 70 now. All my information has been from me researching. Your channel is the first to describe me. Wow. Thank you. Yes heart palpitations. I can’t lose weight and I was a skinny string bean until my forties and was placed on anti depression anti panic cocktail. Then came my attached twin. You rule.
Another pet peeve of mine is the scale of normalcy. When you hit the sweet spot numbers after labs, the doc states that your thyroid is fine. When was this scale developed? We are all different, but it’s treated like a cookie cutter solution. Again you rule.
So glad I could help! It's definitely frustrating for sure.
Was diagnosed today and am now watching this video. Having to stop and go back as I lose focus (fun!). Went out today to buy a few Christmas presents and feel like I’m hungover, like you described. My body aches, brain is tired, foggy, I feel exhausted. This morning I even did a COVID test and checked my temperature to see if I was ok. I am negative and have a normal temp. I’m pretty young and workout so to me those things never made sense but now it’s all starting to. Thanks for the video, I’ll also check your website ❤️
Hang in there - I hope you can start feeling better soon because I know how frustrating and disheartening it all can be. (And oh man, the rewatching the video multiple times because you stop and lose focus - BEEN there for sure)
CZcams just presented your video to me. Who are you and how do you know so much? I'm intrigued because last evening I started feeling Dizziness and Vertigo. You are a natural teacher and I need to listen to you
This is such a great video! I have had thyroid problems for a long time but now I think I have Hashimotos ? I need a test. Thanks!
It's so crazy the number of symptoms that we go thru with this. You even made me aware of symptoms that I hadn't associated with hashi's before. Started low dose naltrexone along with my t4 and t3. It's making the flare less intense, but I can still definitely tell when I'm in a flare. This past year has been the worst year ever!
Hang in there - you're taking steps to address it and hopefully it will only get better from here 💕
What does naltrexone do?
@Lynette Price naltrexone blocks the antibodies that attack the thyroid and has anti-inflammatory properties. It was originally produced for addicts to block the affects of drugs and alcohol. but they found it worked great for many other things, in lower doses, to reduce symptoms and inflammation.
Nicely said..Michele...
Thanks so much!
I would have never thought my 'I just don't feel well' episodes would have been my Hashimoto's!
Excellent information Thank You!!
On a recent check up between two doctors I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos. However I experience no symptoms at this time. This video was helpful to learn what may be in my near future.
And you may never experience these as well - my MIL has had Hashi's for years and never has had most of these. And I have a friend who also doesn't have symptoms (it was just caught on a blood test). So I hope for your sake it stays that way! And if not, well, you know where to come for support :-)
Having a flair up right now and it's horrible. The worst for me is the extreme fatigue followed by insomnia. I also feel like I can't digest my food and my stomach is in knots. Face pain is another one.
I feel that. I’m so exhausted and yet I can’t sleep, but I don’t have the energy to even be out of bed.
I'm going through that right now. It stinks so bad. I'm soooo tired and weak feeling. Allergies are bad this year. Sleeping is disrupted by hot flashes from menopause and a loving kitty. LOL. She only bothers me if she thinks I'm awake. Just getting through a day and trying to do the normal stuff like dishes and laundry plus taking care of my horses drains me. I feel used up by the end of the day.
Did u have muscle weakness as well?? Feels like my body is shutting down I can’t hold anything little bit heavy ??
Oh wow! I'm so glad I found this video. All the other videos talk about what you shouldn't do if you have thyroid issues. You talk very clearly about the symptoms and the reality of lifestyle change through food. Thank you for creating the content you have on your website too!
I was not believed by my doctor 20 years ago. I couldn’t even walk. Hee told me I needed a little iron. I went to another doctor for another reason. He noticed pigment loss on me. Got blood work. Doc called me at work and told me I shouldn’t be alive. Went to endocrinologist, he said I had hashimoto disease, thyroid was dried up. My reflexes were real bad. He took me around the office and showed other doctors how bad I was.
On thyroid meds, and trying to control problems.
Hi I’ve recently been diagnosed with hoshimoto .. Thank you for filming this video it help me to know when I flare up I have literally every symptom going on with me I’m a bit scared of the fast heartbeat
It's a scary symptom, isn't it? I still hate it, years later, but know it's just a sign from my body that I need to take it easy and look at what I've been doing. Like a cry for help almost from my body.
Oh man.. i have most of the symptoms.. i always wondered about the memory loss. Although I'm 27 years old, i tend to forget names and things often. Thought it might have something to do with my type one diabetes.. Will go to the doctor soon and get tested for it. Thanks a lot for all the info!
You're welcome!
I have the hashimoto’s since last summer, and I haven’t found ways to live normally yet. My body feels a little better after medication, but my mental side is very low. I literally cried watching this video, because I felt like finally there is someone who talks and understand what it’s like…❤️thank you for sharing videos! I subscribed you on all of my devices🥹💕
So so good. So informative
Glad it was helpful!
I'm actually been watching him recently. He has a lot of great information.
Oh my. I was told I had Hashimoto's many years ago, but never have followed up with what to look for or what to do about it. Your list covers me almost thoroughly. Recently, because my gut has been messed up for years, I've been working with a great GI doc. She had me stop sugar and all grains. Seems to help a lot--like, a whole lot. I need to follow and learn more.
That's so great that the dietary changes have been helping you a lot so far! It's amazing what a difference they can make.
I just got tested for a bunch of Auto Immune Diseases and I related to this so much. I had most of these symptoms! I have another doctors appointment coming up soon so I will bring this up! Thank you for this video! ❤️
Edit: as of today Aug 20, 2021 I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Thank you so much for this video, you literally helped me figure out what was wrong with me. I felt like i was all alone, and even others around me tried to convince me that it was in my head. You are an angel in disguise. ❤️
Hope you get some answers and feel better soon!
Hey! It's of great pleasure i'm Given out this speech. While i was infected with thyroid the only thing I have to do was to go online to search for help and I get Dr alieaotor on CZcams channel he is a good doctor.....
There is a different thyroid supplement called Liothyronine (synthetic T3)which can be added to the principal one, and it did the trick for me, the Synthroid and all the others are T4, I take it but my Enocrinologist gave me that extra T3 one, because mine was low, and I take it twice a day, once with the daily dose of normal levothyroxine and then by itself in the afternoon!!!!! Oh Happy Day!!!!!!! the T4 is a stronger form of Thyroid supplements and might be associated with higher risk of excess thyroid replacement such as palpitations, arrythmias and osteoporosis. It is why he limits the normal T4 everyone gets but then reinforce it with the T3. The divine blend in my case!!!!
🙏💜💜💜🙏
Thank-You - you have really helped me understand my self better. 💟😇❤🙏
Hey this was great! Thank you!!
bless you for making this, feel less alone as I am still figuring this stuff out.
Hey,
I’m figuring this out too. I have a lot of symptoms and it’s so frustrating!
Hang in there 😅
@@Linda_Djr me too!
I have all of these issues and my antibodies are elevated. It's frustrating and hard to live with, but I'm working on trying to heal. Props to everyone that is dealing with this autoimmune condition.
GOD bless Dr iyaremoses on youtube for curing me permanently from pcos with herbal medication
So frustrating, isn't it? But you'll figure it all out and it'll hopefully become "background noise" in your life. You'll get there 💕
No one could explain why my antibodies were elevated.
Stop eating wheat
@@Notme-tq4xs i’ve been gluten free for a long time.
I resonate with the afternoon crash, always cold, dry skin and usually once every one or two months I have a day where I have to lay in bed because my muscles and joints hurt so bad.
Thank you DR Rorpopor herbal I have been cured from Hashimotos with your herbal medication am so grateful to you, I recommend everyone who is shuffle from Hashimotos to you thank you Dr Rorpopor herbal on CZcams am so grateful to you....??❣️❣️
Omg.... THAT'S ME!!! Afternoon crash. Well at least now I have a name for it.
I have been through the same. I could barely get out of bed. To get a drink etc.. Felt like I was hit by a Truck.

Thank you for all this information. It's really helped me understand why I feel the way I do.
This was so helpful to watch! I would love to know more about what to eat to help manage Hashimotos
Thank you! I have been very confused as my intuition said that this is something hormonal, but when I looked up the symptoms for both hypo- and hyperthyroidism I seemed to have both! This explains it neatly; I could have Hashimoto. Anyway, I need to be diagnosed soon as I think that I am arriving to a dangerous level with my symptoms. (Episodic hypotermia and slowed pulse triggered by heat or cold.)
You're welcome - and trust your intuition for sure - it always knows best!
Thank you. You just described my life since puberty. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15+ years ago and I know that autoimmune is autoimmune no matter what autoimmune disorders you have. Unfortunately, I have found that most doctors believe that you have to have a failure of a major organ to be autoimmune. I also have 2 other autoimmune disorders so hearing you speak about what I have always known is great conformation for me. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
This Is so true !!!
This was so helpful to watch! I would love to know more about what to eat to help avoid flare ups.
so helpful…thank you
I was diagnosed in 2004, hypo & hyper so no treatment for 11 yrs until I became more consistently hypo. My teeth hurt at times, thought it was my fibromyalgia, tmj, heart palpitations, thinning hair omg, I think I'll be bald one day. Anxiety out of nowhere! Video is spot on. I take lots of supplements to support my body, on a gluten free diet, no canola oil only olive oil, check out diet for hashimotos you'll be surprised the foods you SHOULDN'T have. Meditate, yoga/ stretches. I take Armour instead of synthroid, works well for me, more natural than synthetic. Recommend ultrasound of thyroid every couple years especially if you've been struggling with Hashimotos for a long time. ITS A STRUGGLE BUT KEEP MOVING FORWARD, your body will thank you. Oh, finding a Dr who listens to you is key. I was blessed to find my Dr, not an endocrinologist but knowledgeable about hashimotos, listens, tests me ( all thyroid panel & antibody tests). Don't be discouraged, its not in your head. I researched, read and read. Asked alot of questions of my Dr. Still trying to eat a clean diet, eliminated many foods, take supplements to strengthen my body because when I don't feel well/ exhausted I don't eat. There's answers out there like this video which is so informative and educational. Omega 3, L-theamine , B12, B complex helps with my stress/ mood. Surround yourself with people who want to understand, who will read the information about hashimotos to understand what your dealing with. BE KIND TO YOURSELF, YOU'RE OK!
OMGOOOSH thank you, I've been going crazy with my symptoms for 2 years, doctors have no idea what's wrong with me, I've had 3 cat scans, blood tests, and nobody can give me answers, I'm going to doctor AGAIN this next week and I'm going to tell her to check for this disease!!!
I hope you get some answers and can feel better soon!
I know this was 10 months ago but did you find out? I’ve been sick on and off for two yrs as well. Just got my thyroid antibodies checked and it was high indicating hashimoto. Explains my symptoms.
Amazing info, thank you so much! You are so knowledgeable on the subject and this makes me learn a lot ! ❤️ i think i have Hasimotos for i have practically all the symptoms! will get tested!
I'm glad to have been able to help! I hope you can get some answers from testing and feel better soon 💕
Thank tou so much for putting this out.
I was diagnosed with hashimotos over a year ago. My symptoms were under control for the most part until a few months back when I got the flu. Since, I've had a flare up I can't shake. I've been given antidepressants and my thyroid medication had been adjusted but I can't shake my fatigue and my tremors. It's frustrating that it feels like my body and mind are against me.
I definitely know . Been on the struggle bus for months. I need a good Endocrinologist.
Me too. I live in Hutchinson Kansas and have had a very hard time finding a doctor.
Thank you for this vlog!
This was so helpful. I have hypothyrodism.
Just found your channel! I am needing to get more serious with my hashimoto's health/diet and your channel is going to be SO helpful. Excited to check it out! Just subbed🤗

@@MicheleSpring is insomnia in night and day time is normal in Hashimoto? I can't sleep not in day or night without sleeping pills? Is it normal and incause if I sleep for while I seeing dreams can't relax sleeping plz reply 😯🙏
@@Hk78666 Yeah, it can be a symptom that your thyroid is off but also your adrenals are taxed. It's all interconnected - so that advice that I gave you in the other comment should also work for sleep. But in addition - you may need to look at stress management as well - it might be good to take a look at your daily life and notice if you have any ongoing stress (can be little, doesn't have to be a huge thing). Is there anything that you can get rid of or lessen? Not that just the one thing will automatically give you sleep, but it's good to start being aware of these things as they all add up and the constant taxing of your adrenals in addition to your thyroid being attacked can really make everything worse.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s last year. I have had and still experiencing all of those symptoms! It’s a roller coaster. Has anyone experienced internal vibrations or pulsations throughout the body?
I do. My doctor says it is in my head.
And prescribed anxiety.medication that has not done anything for.4 years. I have been denied.medical care for over 3 years because I refuse to 😅entertain her phobia about a rag on your face. I think she refuses care for me because I refused the jab when she insisted on it twice. She outright lied and told me it was tested and it was safe. I am a senior and I suspect she
Would rather harm me than make me better
The truth is out there and Doctors like my incompetent and corrupt tool must forfeit the.thousands she.made during the.plandemic and be charged with crimes against humanity. Here I lie bedridden for over 3 years and cannot get help even though I have been paying for it for over 50 years. May she pay for her evil oath, "will do harm for ill-gotten gain." The filth of the earth is controlling this genocide.
Yes, like an earthquake inside the body
I have been feeling like this for over a year now with internal vibrations literally from head to toe aling with tremors in my hands and fatigue. I am beginning to wonder if its hashimoto. This all happened to me after I had covid last year.
How are you feeling now? Have you gotten any relief from these symptoms?
This was so helpful to watch! I would love to know more about what to eat to help manage Hoshimotos.
Ahaaa! Today, I have found my second doctor! It has been Eric Berg but now YOU!
This video made me tear up because I pretty much have all of these ymptoms and when I try to explain it to those around, I'm made to look like a hypochondriac. I'm 40, I finally had a baby two years ago ( conceived naturally when most docs I knew said I have about 4% chances with IVF) .I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis about 5-6 years ago. Inspite of taking Thyronorm, I'm still so tired everyday; especially by 3p.m like you said. Thank you so much for posting this video. 💐
I cleared up my hypothyroidism with the help of natural herbs medications from Dr iyaremoses on CZcams channel
You're so welcome!
The symptoms most prevalent in my case are fatigue, body pain (especially upper back) and rosacea. Last September, I now believe I had a bad flare that I’ve never experienced before. I had my first panic attack and developed anxiety that I never had before. I’m doing so much better now.
Oh man, the panic attacks are the worst! I had them too. So glad you're feeling better now!
@@MicheleSpring I made your banana/carob ice cream yesterday and it was delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Panic attacks can be very scary
I've plenty in the past 50 yrs. I had one so bad that I thought I was having a stroke, ran tests, and everything , just a real bad Panic attack. I was dealing with a heavy amount of stress.
@@senjahawks857 I’m coming to realize that it may be all part of perimenopause. I’m 39. Lots of women in perimenopause have experienced the same things I have. I don’t believe it’s my thyroid.
I know this video is a year old, but it's new to me. I want to Thank you for your videos. I've had people tell me over and that my symptoms were all in my head. I've been told I'm a hypochondriac etc.. My favorite is think positive, cheer up etc.. when I'm going through depression. I know how to get myself out of depression. Sometimes though it takes a few days. I felt so alone. Now I know other people are dealing with some of the same things I've been dealing with. Most importantly I'm not Crazy. Again Thank you so very much for your videos.
So sorry you have to go through that but you're right - you're NOT alone. And it is all very real 💕
@@MicheleSpring Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Recently diagnosed and this video made me cry because I have so many of them and thought I was losing my mind for such a long time. The only one that wasn't mentioned was hives. I've recently started coming down with hives and my skin looks horrible 😥. I know that this can happen as well with Hashimoto's.
OMG! Me too. It’s horrible and I itch all over.
This vedio made me cry too. I also have dermatographia and the doctor said its very common in hashimoto patients.
Thank you for this! I never really figured out my Hashimoto's symptoms or flares cause my Addison's symtoms are similar and sooo much stronger so it was kind of hidden all the time and I don't really know which disease causes each symtom. Guess that's common to people who have multiple autoimmune issues.
yeah, that has to be really tough to decipher between them. But as you said, multiple autoimmune issues can get so jumbled up in each other. The good news is that they can also often be helped by the same interventions (diet, lifestyle, eradication of gut infections, etc) so it's like killing two birds with one stone (I actually hate that analogy, it's so violent! Does feeding two birds with one seed make sense?)
@@MicheleSpring yes!!! Exactly, that's the great thing about it! I feel like all I'm doing to improove my health is never onesided it serves all my conditions equally (exept for medication)!
Love your reinterpretation of the proverb...and it totally makes sense, maybe evenmore so!!
Guys how Hashimotos can cause vertigo issues? Is that real or myth ? if yes what is the treatment pls
My daughter , like me and her dad, have hypothyroidism. She was also told about having Hashimoto several years ago. She saw this video last week and told me to watch it. You said every single thing I have. Some of these things I have been given meds or treatments for years. And everything is just getting worse. Nothing has improved. And now I’m so balding that you can see my head clearly through what little hair I have left. If I’m in the sunlight or by a bright light, my hair looks nonexistent. I’m just starting to see a new doctor. I have a phone appointment with him in less than a week. This is going to be the first topic I bring up to him. Thank you for this video.
How are you and your family now
I seem to have almost all of these symptoms all the time. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my early 20’s but they confirmed I have Hoshimoto’s in 2020 with very high antibodies. The frustration I have is that almost all doctors think that if your thyroid panels come back in the “normal” range that your thyroid is managed. Mine definitely isn’t. I’m glad you addressed this in this video. My hope is that they eventually do more research to help all of us with the many symptoms we experience.
