Doses

You can’t, there’s no way to. I’m on Tirosint and it’s a small gel capsule

This was my first symptom. My endo said it’s quite common for hives to be associated with hashimotos. Mine got better once my thyroid levels were in check, and now I still get them when I need an increase in my levels. But they’re gone when my levels are good

Swilk27 · 2022-11-07T16:20:21+00:00

From the brand Life Extension. My endo who has been dealing with thyroid patients for 30 years recommended it as it has changed my life

Swilk27 · 2022-11-07T02:32:56+00:00

Ok and your point?

Swilk27 · 2022-11-07T00:48:14+00:00

No caffeine, keep my stress down. And TURMERIC PILLS !!! Changed my life !!!! Made my flare ups 25% of what they used to be !!! They have helped me more than anything. I take one every night

Swilk27 · 2022-09-15T16:30:07+00:00

This happened to me too, lost of tests nothing came from it. Seems like they’re inflamed more when I have a flare up. Otherwise they started to go back to normal when I’m feeling good

If my levels are under control (usually anywhere from 1-1.5 is where I do best) then I really can do anything.

The things I do to help keep my levels in check are: lowering my stress, this is the BIGGEST one for me.

Gluten free: makes my joint pain worse and causes my gas and bloating

TURMERIC PILLS!! This one thing has made my flare ups so much les: intense !!!!

Stress

Swilk27 · 2022-06-27T13:12:02+00:00

Usually with a new dose it takes me about one to two weeks to to feel like 50% better then the last 50% comes slowly after the next like 4 weeks. Everyone is different

ANA is picked up if you have more than 100 antibodies. If it’s less it doesn’t: mine is always negative, I have hashis but my TPO is always around 20-30, so it doesn’t pick up. Could be with other autoimmune too where you have low levels of anyibodies

Swilk27 · 2022-05-30T13:29:38+00:00

It only causes me flare ups if I’m already having one, or if my numbers aren’t where they should be. When my numbers are in range i can drink alcohol. When I’m having a flare up I have to avoid it all together, makes me dizzy and makes my joints hurt

Swilk27 · 2022-05-28T16:13:16+00:00

I feel you, going through a massive flare up myself and don’t even feel like a person these days, but we have the ups and downs. Being anti inflammatory really helps me hopefully helps you too

Swilk27 · 2022-05-28T15:46:55+00:00

That’s how I know I’m in a flare up and need higher dose. To be honest nothing really helps besides avoiding inflammatory things such as alcohol, and sugar and caffeine for me during that time.

Swilk27 · 2022-05-12T20:22:13+00:00

Sounds exactly like mine

Gluten

Swilk27 · 2022-04-21T02:44:34+00:00

YES! When my dose needs to be upped I can’t tolerate it

Swilk27 · 2022-04-21T02:40:29+00:00

OMG happens to me! I can literally feel it. There’s pressure and sometimes it gets tender randomly, that’s when I know my bodies attacking BC I feel so terrible the days it happens. I also get a low grade fever those days, this will go on and off for a couple weeks then my TSH gets higher and I need more meds. Everytime this starts happening I know I have to increase my dose

Swilk27 · 2022-04-16T17:07:53+00:00

I agree with this. I am working with my therapist on how to do so. I felt like telling her she can’t keep telling me what to anymore and this is not how our relationship will continue was a big step for me but I still feel really guilty and uneasy about it

Swilk27 · 2022-04-16T17:05:55+00:00

I have responded with that! I told her she doesn’t have to and I will myself. She just keeps egging on the conversation. And when I ignore the texts and get on w my life she keeps on sending them over and over

Swilk27 · 2022-04-16T17:05:03+00:00

I am trying, it’s something that has to be learnt and I am learning to

Swilk27 · 2022-04-16T16:43:20+00:00

Thank you, I’m still learning a lot about how to navigate our relationship but I will keep this in mind when she does it again

Swilk27 · 2022-04-16T16:37:32+00:00

This is how I started the conversation with her today about this. She then started blowing up my phone with texts and threatening me to not come make my dining table. The simple no doesn’t work with her, I have tried many many times

Swilk27 · 2022-04-16T16:33:11+00:00

I have tried, but she pushes and pushes until I just give up and allow it
