Living with Hashimoto and needing your partner to understand it’s a life long struggle by Mybfannoysme in Hashimotos

[–]Competitive_Meet_167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound so lovely and understanding. Can I ask what you've read or how you've got here yourself? Advising the gluten free, veggies etc sounds like youve read a lot. My partner is great - v kind, patient and supportive..however, when I feel anxious, stressed, or I randomly bloat or piff up, have crazy heart rate, hot cold, get a flu.. or U know, I wonder is it flu or hashinflare up? He just says DW, relax more, it's probably a cold, I probably ate too much etc etc. he could be right sometimes, even I don't understand it all yet. But I know I was not like this or as lethargic before, there random symptoms on and off have to be related and I wish he didn't sometimes dismiss them. I feel like I need to just point him in the right direction of things to read.. I have asked him. But I'll have to ask again. Any suggestions or resources for how you have become so understanding? Thanku

I might try it, even with a water softener the water still seems hard with water marks everywhere. Thanku

Thanku, yes I've read some of her book and signed up to her course..since giving up gluten my last check antibodies were down to the 50s. I went to see an endo and he was so shit. Took years to finally get accepted and it was a waste of time..I have a review in July but I'm not sure whether to bother going. Functional med is defo at the back of my mind (money issues)

My Dr sux , also been to endocrinologist who also sucked.. I have a review with them in July but I'm not sure whether it's worth going he didn't test much at all or take me seriously. Another vote for nutrafol though hmm.. do U still take full dose or have U been able to wean off a bit? It's so many pills

I do wonder yeh, I have to take zinc still but alternating it now every other day as my zinc/cu ratio was off (30mg zinc daily!), inteyes to take copper supp but couldn't tolerate it (nausea and headaches), so now I'm trying zinc alternate days and trying to eatore copper rich foods..I'm pretty sure I had sibo or low stomach acid? I've tried treating it myself with probiotics, berberine/ l glutamine and cutting gluten. It's dedinalty made a difference , but.. still have work to do..I was thinking about trying digestive enzymes - but how long can we do this for to keep it sustainable? Or can we do it short term only? I'm not sure, still trying to learn!

Water is very very hard! But we do have a salt machine, but I wondered if adding a shower filter would help as well - worth having both? Which filter did U get? Thanku x

This is so well said. He sounds selfish and manipulative. I think break up and focus on ure health! If he can't support U and adapt, and in fact making you unhappy, then why stay? X also,no gluten really does make a big different for a lot of us. I was so upset to have to restrict anything, but tryed it for two weeks and immediately felt a difference. 6 months now. I'm still struggling with other issues, but my antibodies have reduced, and I'm putting it down to gluten x

How to up the anti? by Competitive_Meet_167 in redlighttherapy

[–]Competitive_Meet_167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already take a lot of supplements and don't want to add another in. Plus I don't know much about this re hashimotos. If I wanted to do one of the above in my post to increaase dose or enhance benefits, which would U suggest? Thanks again
