You’re on Synthroid to control Hashimoto’s? Never heard of that before. I take Synthroid to control my Hypothyroidism. I also have Hashimoto’s and there is no medication that will control that, only food elimination. Who put you on Synthroid for Hashimoto’s? You shouldn’t be on Synthroid if you don’t have a thyroid condition.

Ikirnbauer, I understand your concern. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis has not gone into Hypothyroidism yet and you are correct. My inflammation level was very high and my symptoms were severe. I was put on 3 different Thyroid Medicines (Including Synthroid) due to my symptoms being so severe (not all at the same time!). I couldn't tolerate any of them and so now I am not on anything for it.....I also have subclinical Hyperthyroidism and I am on Methimazole for that. Some doctors do treat the symptoms for Hashitmoto's with medication....depending on the severity.
I get checked every 3 months with bloodwork and then see the doctor and get an ultrasound
of my thyroid once a year. I have an enlarged thyroid.
I hope you are doing well on Synthroid and your Hashimoto's is under control with diet.
Bless you.....Blessings & Prayers....

ikirnbauer@lkirnbauer. I have no idea where you came by your information. As a medical provider, I hope to correct your knowledge. Hypothyroidism is caused by several medical conditions; one of which is Hashimotos. The medical term is Hashimotos Thryoiditis which is an autoimmune disorder. When a thryroid gland is not able to produce sufficient thyroid hormone, Synthroid or a generic derivative of Synthroid is needed to replace the missing hormone.
