Me! Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Diagnosed about 2 years ago, and had it for about 7 years or so, before it was discovered. My TSH was fairly high and I had a 3 cm goiter. Suppressive doses of thyroid hormone (synthroid and cytomel) reduced the size of the goiter significantly. My story is at http://low-carb.us/hypothyroid.html

Default Hashimoto's

I was diagnosed over 15 years ago with Hashimoto's. I take synthroid everyday. I'm going to the Dr. soon. Someone mentioned T3 T4 combo helps.Well, I'm asking, I'll try anything if it will help. :help

I don't know what type I have...I just found out it's hypothyroid. I started medication of Friday.

The pharmacist gave me a gyneric pill for Synthroid. Will that work as well?

I see my doctor in a month to see how I'm doing. I'm so glad you are all here with me!!

I was diagnosed with Grave's disease in early 1983 (this is overactive thyroid condition, I could eat constantly and still lose weight, but I felt miserable, was always too warm and had tremors). So, after several years of trying to correct it with meds, my thyroid was irradiated and about 3 years later my thyroid levels dropped low and I went into deep depression before finding out that was the problem. I've been on synthroid for the past 12 1/2 years.

To find out if you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, request a thyroid antibody test. Very simple. Also check for a goiter, by doing the drink test. Hold your neck up and tilted back a bit while drinking and get someone to observe - the butterfly-shaped organ (thyroid) below the Adam's apple will have a noticeable lump on one side, if there is a goiter present.

Including T3 thyroid hormone for most people makes sense as many people with hypothyroidism do not make enough T3, which is the component that is also responsible for a good metabolism and a normal body temperature.
