I am a 55 year old female and have Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism and take 100 mcg levothyroxine. Hashimoto’s is known to cause nodule growth in your thyroid so if you get bloodwork testing by your primary doctor, endocrinologist or rheumatologist with a full thyroid panel (TSH, T4, T3, TPO) and it shows Hashimoto’s TPO autoantibodies, it would be good to get a thyroid ultrasound to see if you have changes like nodule growth. I had a 2.5 cm nodule in my right lobe and I had it removed because it was suspicious (determined by fine needle aspiration and molecular testing) and my sister had thyroid cancer. It was benign but they did find a micro cancer.

Hashimoto’s really isn’t treated except for dealing with any nodules and if there is hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Medication would be prescribed of thyroid levels are too high or too low.

It is good to see a nutritionist/dietitian to look at diet and supplements and see if changes would be helpful. You may benefit from a diet that reduces inflammation.
