I have hypothyroidism and recently was diagnosed with Hashi's, which is actually a relief because now I know what's causing all my crazy symptoms. I am confused however, it sounds from what I've been reading online and a book that I bought that Hashi's doesnt really go away but is controlled with the levothyroxine and acts up once in a while. It sounds like eventually my thyroid will just not function anymore or I will get a goiter and have to have it removed. I asked my doctor about this and he didn't really give me aclear answer. he made it sound like this is just a one time thing (need to find a new doc). Anyone have more info? Also, I've been feeling a kind of hot/cold feeling in my throat, around the thyroid area, for the past couple days, like I swallowed some ben-gay (didn't). Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

Ask you doctor for a referral to an endocrinologist. Endocrinologists can tell you all about the thyroid and its various problems, and can get you on the right medication. Physicians in general/family practice are not all that skilled in this area.

I'm not sure if you are saying you have symptoms of these things or you actually have ALL these diagnosis. If you have one or more of these illnesses, then I am with you! I have a couple of these diagnosed illnesses. They all (as well as a few others such as MS & RA) have such similar symptoms that they're often misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed. If you feel you have any of these things you need to seek medical attention. Don't give up on getting a real diagnosis, don't let doctors or anyone tell you that you are a hypochondriac or that you're not really sick, some times it takes YEARS & YEARS to get a decent enough medical professional to help you. YOU know you're sick, & that is the most important thing. If you have a diagnoses already, then seek support, if you can't get support or help from your friends & family, try a local or on-line support group. There are PLENTY of really good ones here right on Yahoo Groups. Take care & don't give up, there is help out there, you just have to do a lot of research & put forth a lot of effort in finding it!

Well i don't think u will get any real replies here. If I were u, I'd talk to my doctor again and ask for a pamphlet or some other kind of info. I'd also look online for some information. If you r just looking to meet ppl who have the same thing you do, do a search on google, yahoo, askjeeves, and aol for message boards, forums, and groups.

if this is gonna help u, hashimoto's thyroiditis is an auto immune disease. ie, ur own immune cells take ur thyroid as a foreign body and act against it. all u can do is take ur thyroxine tablets regularly.
