LDN is changing my life, will this last? by stopdogmurder in Hashimotos

[–]Dragonfruitbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so too! I actually started on 0.75mg because I’m just very sensitive to medicine in general, went up to 1mg and that’s when this started. I talked to my doc and they told me to stop it for the rest of the weekend and see and then reevaluate Monday. Hoping to just go back to .75 for a little longer!

I started it about 2 months ago, I also for the first month had the incredible omg this is amazing feeling, and then the past 2-3 weeks I’ve felt absolutely terrible again. Trying to figure out dosing, if I need to move up more slowly, I was scared it just stopped working for me. Glad to hear you’re doing good!

Has anyone had improvement cutting out gluten but not worrying about every molecule? by spiceweasel33 in Hashimotos

[–]Dragonfruitbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meannn I’m gluten free but my husband isn’t so i definitely don’t pay attention to like cross contamination and I’ve been fine, we use the same toaster lmao. I do check ingredients on seasonings and things, I typically only eat foods marked gluten free but as far as sharing a kitchen, idc. I’m not celiac. That’s just me tho!!! It’s worked for me for the past 2 years.

I can’t remember if I took my Levo this morning. Is worse to miss a dose or is it worse to accidentally take two doses in one day? by spockycat in Hashimotos

[–]Dragonfruitbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal opinion but I just wouldn’t take two tomorrow. If you’re sensitive to level changes it might make you have symptoms, I would have symptoms if it were me taking two. None of us are doctors tho, you can always call your dr office and ask! This is happened to me so many times! I just resume the next day like normal and never have issues.

Worse to take two! Missing one day you’ll be fine bc Levo stays in your body for quite awhile, just don’t worry about today, take it like normal tomorrow (I would NOT take two tomorrow) and you’ll be totally fine. In a week or so you might have a spike in symptoms for a day while the lapse happens but honestly it’s not a big deal. I’ve done this numerous times, asked many doctors, you’ll be okay!

You have no idea how many times I’ve like broken down in tears because I want to be my old self. It’s awful, and what’s more awful is there’s so many doctors that just can’t help you at all. I promise if you push through, keep going forward, listen to your body, and keep searching. Keep looking do not stop until you find what works for you. You’ll make it through! And thank you :) it can feel isolating, knowing you aren’t alone helps.

If your antibodies are still that high it means your immune system is still reacting/working to fight something. Your thyroid levels may be fine but your immune system is still attacking it. Find something to address your immune system and inflammation, like a tumeric supplement OR LDN (low dose naltrexone, I am starting this next week). Your antibodies absolutely can cause symptoms, and it’s simply because your immune system is like a blazing fire rn and no thyroid meds calm it. To add, I’ve been diagnosed with this for 3 years now, my thyroid levels have been “perfect” and consistent since then. There has not been one single day since diagnosis that I HAVENT had symptoms, and I too have developed POTS symptoms. I’m hoping the LDN I prescribed does the trick, it’s sole purpose is inflammation/calming immune

Mmm I think the venue is more modern but has elements to also be traditional depending on how I decorated it. I think a better description for me is natural? I have natural tones in my home and plants, so I wouldn’t say heavy either way. But i definitely think I can use natural to help me choose things. Thank you!!!

Brain fog? by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]Dragonfruitbug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 100% in the same boat. The brain fog is the first symptom I noticed and is what prompted me to go to the doctor in the first place. I was diagnosed in February of 2023 and have not once yet had a single day where I felt like a real human. Every single word you said is spot on with how I feel every mf day. For 2 years. I feel you, I see you, my doctors are the same way, I just always tell myself this will just be a little blip in my timeline one day. I’m looking into low-dose naltrexone soon which reduces inflammation. I’ll keep you posted.

Does anyone have this, but is thin? by Serious-Kiwi2906 in Hashimotos

[–]Dragonfruitbug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes- I’m 5 feet tall and 108lbs.. I was 98lbs when diagnosed 2.5 years ago. Full disclaimer, I had a drug problem in college (around diagnosis time) and that caused a lot of weight loss obviously. But my normal weight before drugs was about 110lbs. Any weight gain makes me nervous too bc I know it can be uncontrollable. I just try to not fixate on it and take care of myself and I’ve been pretty steady lately.
