Do you have thyroid
problems? Have you been
put on thyroid medicine
but still don�t feel
right? Are your lab tests
coming back �normal� but
you are still having
symptoms?
You may have Hashimoto�s
thyroiditis! This is an
autoimmune disease and is
one of the most common
causes of hypo (low)
thyroid in the United
States.
How do you know if you
have it? You need to get
your Anti-TPO and Anti-TG
levels checked. These are
not always checked when
you have thyroid testing.
In fact, usually it�s just
your TSH that is checked.
You need to have Free T3
and Free T4 checked as
well.
Get your adrenals checked
as well! The adrenals
�feed� the thyroid.
So if
your adrenal function is
not optimal then this will
negatively affect thyroid too. |
