You will get better when you get thyroid replacement hormone - I know it took me 10 years to finally find an endo who would test something other than TSH, T3, and T4. You must have the test for TPO antibodies. The ending who finally and kindly listened to me had me collect urine for a week. And yes, then my “borderline” thyroid disfunction” was diagnosed as Hashimotos and I was given Levothyroxine - and probably overdosed - which is even worse! Ended up on Armour Thyroid for 30 years, (tinnitus never stopped) now am back on a much lower dose of Levo. Recently discovered that most people with Hashis also have adrenal problems (craving salt is a tell-tale). Started treating adrenals by taking Fulvic minerals. Calms jitters within the hour - like 1 oz of liquid minerals. wonderful stuff! After 30 years researching this on my own I’ve discovered the root cause is probably in the gut and with the liver. I have begun and tried all sorts of natural protocols like ginger tea and probiotics. Every little bit helps! Hope this helps you! Please write and tell us what works for you all we have is each - other the medical community is ignoring Hashimoto’s and has been and it’s becoming pandemic.

Thanks for sharing the TPO antibodies test information @ambrose. @kahli here is information on the test from Mayo Clinic:

Thyroid peroxidase antibody test: What is it?

Have you thought about getting a second opinion? If you would like to seek help from Mayo Clinic, contact one of the appointment offices. The contact information for Minnesota, Arizona and Florida can be found here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

My Endo did not find Hashimoto's and Graves, but I have all these symptoms discussed herein. Had T-Storm in 2018 and left with Anxiety Disorder and internal shakiness 2 years later. Terrible internal shakiness in the morning. Did I have nerve damage? Reduced my Levo from 175 to 125. Gained weight, but 50% reduction in shakiness. Please keep writing, you are the best!
