I've been hypothyroid since 2002. My Dr. at the time was trying to better understand what I was going through...and at least she was smart enough to order up the correct blood-work to prove it. She recommended a book called Thyroid Power by Richard L. Shames and Karilee Halo Shames. The book has been soooooo helpful over the last 6 years to me. I own a copy and always reference it. The most useful parts for me are diet and natural remedies. I love tofu. I love cruciferous veggies. So, those things I only eat occasionally. The only thing the book does not discuss is.....hairloss.

Another book I've also found helpful in keeping me from being tired and dazed is Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity by Kathleen DesMaisons. I'm not sensitive to sugar but there are some good guidelines that I follow that I think get me through the day better.

I love eating....seriously. But if it interferes with the thyroid, then I guess I need to be careful. But I'm not giving up my ONE cup of coffee or my occasional glass of wine with dinner.

Hello Ladies!!

I'm thinkin I should have joined this group from the beginning!! After reading some of the other posts and looking at pictures ... YEP!! We must all be sisters :) Although I have not been dx with Hashimoto, I have been dx with hypothyroid. Who knows! They also say I have AA. If I had more time, money and energy, I'd find a cure or at least the link they need!! I keep praying :)

Nice to be here!

Dear Jessica
it's hydrogen peroxide - h202 but someone mentioned that it can be good for the immune system as long as you don't OD ! then it is toxic !
anyway I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knew about it.

I think anything in small amounts is ok but if you love soy may be you should ask your doc. see what he/she says.

Hey Zoe,

I've also heard that soy is not good for us either. what a good topic I'm gonna google it. Hey I totally think what you eat affects your baod in big ways.

A question to all of you. Are you on a special diet because of your Hashimoto thyroiditis? I've heard that iodine is not good for you and makes you feel tired etc.

Does anyone here know anything about that?

I've had Hashimotos for 5 years, was diagnosed at the same time as alopecia. The only thing I've been on is synthroid. I used to be tired ALL the time. It's not nearly as bad anymore. I just had an ultrasound done on Friday so hopefully I'll get the results back soon! I'm thinking of asking to switch to armour. I've heard some people do better on it, but my first endo swore by synthroid and my endo now says there isn't any difference...
