Hello everyone
The forum so far has made pretty interesting reading.I wanted to put forward my own case and hopefully we can find a cure

I suffer from Hashimotos disease which was diagnosed in 2002.
My reports when first diagnosed were:
T3 0.2 pg/ml (N-1.4 to4.4)
T4 0.09 ng/dl (N-0.8 to 2)
TSH >150 (N=0.2 to 6)
Anti TPO >1000 (N=0 to 40)
Anti thyroglobulin >3000 (N=0 to 40)
Surprisingly I did not manifest any cardiovascular,orthopaedic or neurological symptoms at that time.I had only gone to the endocrinologist because of obesity,tiredness in the evenings and a slight orangeing of the skin (I am told it is a classic hypothyroidism sign).
With such low levels I obviously had to start eltroxin (Synthetic T4).
Significantly, I had suffered from Rheumatic fever at the age of 14 where again the specialist was surprised at the lack of cardiovascular effects.

In June 2006 the antibodies were:
Anti TPO 23.90
Anti ATA 71.70

My recent most reports put the thyroid in the normal levels but I don't "feel" fine and I am still obese.
CBC reports are fine except for a consistent hypochromia and microcytes.I do get tired sometimes but only in the evenings (5 pm) and that too not everyday.
Please do suggest a suitable remedy for me.
If there are any more questions regarding my condition i will be glad to answer them

Thank you

One thing I would suggest is  research everything you can about adrenal exhaustion and look at your diet. While it is true the Hypo can gain weight just drinking water, some things can help. Avoiding Soy like the plague is one. Do some research on Hypo diets.
