Your Endocrinologist is correct. There is no medication to control Hashimotos because it is an autoimmune disorder. An autoimmune disorder is when the body goes beserk and attacks itself. However, hypothyroidism caused by Hasimotos can be treated with synthroid or other thyroid replacement hormones. It is highly unusual for the thyroid gland to NOT be affected by Hashimotos as it primarily affects the thyroid gland. Anything that you can do dietary wise to reduce the inflammatory response within the body is helpful, be that food choices, stress, rest, sleep, etc.

I have no nodules on my Thyroid as of now. I have an ultrasound done annually to check for them, as my daughter had Thyroid Cancer 2 years ago and had several removed, along with her Thyroid. She is now cancer free! My Thyroid when I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, was enlarged, but it has now gone back to its normal size. I believe this all came about with Covid, as I never had a thyroid condition or Hashimoto’s before. I do control my Hashimoto’s with diet, by eliminating gluten, dairy and soy. It has helped tremendously! I also get 8 hours of sleep nightly for the most part and try to reduce my stress levels by walking 4 miles 3 x’s per week, along with weight training. It makes a difference.
