Question

what happens to hashimotos disease after the thyroid is gone? can it attack another organ? or does it go away

Thanks all you guys are great!

Answer 1

Nothing. You still have hashimotos. You still have the antibodies. They just can't attack the thyroid if you no longer have a thyroid.

Answer 2

hashimotos disease happens when white blood cells mistakenly attack and damage healthy thyroid cells. Usually some member of the family has had this disease, it is genetic.
It can occur with type 1 diabetes. The outcome is very good. You can be treated with thyroid replacement therapy. No it will not attack another organ, strickly a thyroid disease.
I get up in the morning and take a very small dose of thyroxine, on an empty stomach. Example, take your pill and then shower and get ready for work, then eat your breakfast. A little rough in the beginning before doctor got the dose right, but now I'm just fine. Good Luck

Answer 3

The antibodies only attack the thyroid gland. As more and more thyroid function is lost, you will be on a higher dose of thyroid medication. Below are some thyroid links that I think may help.
