I had one more hospitalization after the birth of my first child. I have been on medication for bipolar for 16 years. In the last 6 years I have learned more about hypothyroidism and that diagnosis. I am newly diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and this has made me reconsider my bipolar diagnosis. If Hashimoto’s was the real cause of my episodes, the relief of that news would be welcome. I hope more research in the comorbidy of these illnesses will provide more answers.

You will need to be ready to fight for yourself. There are thyroid doctors that refuse to use natural medications! If you have stomach issues your body will do better on natural medications.You will find that an D.O. Doctor of internal medicine is a better fit if your struggle with your thyroid! They look at total body wellness which is crucial for someone with thyroid issues! I have recently saw a Immunologist I have never experienced a doctor so through or more caring! He actually took my files home with him before my appt and read my file the whole thing and told me many mistakes had been made with me but he was going to help me turn things around my first appt was 3hrs with him the most amazing experience to actually be heard and validated! He all believed in a whole body wellness approach! It’s crucial to get eating healthy, exercising and vitamins to become as healthy as you can be in order to heal your thyroid. Thyroid issues have a strong correlation to a leaky gut! Thyroid med. is taken orally process through your digestion if there is a absorption problem there comes the ups and downs when your stomach issues flair expect thyroid problems! I drink everyday in my water 1tablespoon honey to 1Tbsp. Of apple cider vinegar to 8 oz of water (or Gatorade etc) I cant tell you how that’s helped to stabilize my stomach issues added benefit I don’t get sick as easy as I used to. Get the healthiest you can or you will struggle your whole life! Last important info know what tests should be done there are 5 most doctors will do two it’s like pulling teeth to get them to do all 5 that is why people go so long undiagnosed! God bless all of you on your journey!
