  1. I’m 64 yrs old and have always been thin in 6 weeks I put on 35lbs I almost starved myself the 7th week and put on 5 more pounds. I had been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis A disease which was found after I was in a bad car accident and while checking my spine saw something on my liver. So when I started gaining weight and had many symptoms such as well basically ALL of the symbols I was diagnosed with Hashimoto disease. Started on the meds ( generic) for 4 months and NOTHING! Another
    Dr suggested getting the brand name so now I’ve been on it for about 45 day and no change. The liver Dr said my liver autoimmune disease is now dormant. No one has ever mentioned a gluten free diet and I’m about to lose it with not able to lose a pound. I’m tired of people saying oh just stay in your meds my ( cousin, friend, neighbor, whoever) was fine after taking the meds. Hashimoto disease is not just regular hypothyroidism it’s my living nightmare! This is the first time I’ve seen anything close to the truth about this disease and how it makes a person feel. I’m going to now start a new way of life … gluten free living, I hope it helps my weight and all the other symptoms. Thanks for sharing

    I can’t believe in thirty plus years, NO ONe examined my thyroid glad by touching my neck with their hands. No one!

    I was diagnosed with a “low thyroid” when I was 36 years old. I took the synthroid offered me and thought that was the end of it. Actually I did not get better only worse because no doctor I saw was informed or aware of Hashimotos. When I told my Internests that I thought I had Hashimoto’s I was told “no you do not, and stop looking on the internet”. The second Internal Medicine doctor was the same. I was not heard until I had atrial fib, bradycardia, a pacemaker, sixteen stents and I finally saw a Endocrinologist on my own who felt my neck and diagnosed a thyroid nodule. It was 40 grams! I had surgery I Feb, 2016 and I am finally getting better. Recovery is very slow and the surgery didn’t solve all my problems. I seem to be stuck in hypothyroidism! The doctors just don’t seem to know!
