@jaderm - Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
Hashimoto’ thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease.
Can you explain in more detail how and why you were diagnosed?
Also, do you need to take medication?
Seeing an endocrinologist is a good idea. Are you unable to get a referral from your primary care doctor?
In my opinion, it would not be a good idea to see a natural medicine doctor. They don’t have the specific training to properly care for you.

Hi, disagree about the Dr in Endocrinology I have been to 11 and none have helped, they don't beleive in doing certain tests and their concentration is on diabetics conditions or ppl that their TSH is high and all they have to do is prescribe a pill but with Hashimoto been an autoimmune condition they are clueless. My labs are mostly fine besides the FT3 which is below range always and they ignore this and I have inner shakiness, headaches it affected my cardio also and have read that the T3 have to do with all of this but they don't want to listen, very frustrating. Good luck with any Endo

Sorry for the late response. I was diagnosed after I went to my obgyn cause I thought I was pre menopause. I’m vitamin D deficient. On generic synthroid I also have epilepsy and I feel like my memory is getting worse. I can’t get a referral from my Nero. And I was thinking about going to see a natural Dr but I hear so many mixed reviews
