Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 when you have hashi the key is to suppress the TSH so the little antibodies stop attacking the thyroid. I switched from synthyriod to armour for this reason, my TSH was 3. something cant remember, now it is .05 and i am feeling much better, i have to work on the adreanal issue, they are exhausted from trying to help the thyroid. it took about 6 months or so to get up to a dose that works for me. it took a while for us to get in this shape it will take a while to get better. read, research and find something that works for you. > wrote: > > > > Wish I could have MY Hashi's gland taken out.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 My TSH has stayed at anywhere from .005 or 6 to a .05 or so, for the last two yrs now. I do know that it must be suppressed. This is why I'm getting a little worried about what's going on in that gland right now. I never had this kind of swelling before. Insurance will be ok in February.
