Yahoo! asked readers and contributors to provide short personal accounts of their experience with thyroid disease, and then pose a question for a healthcare professional. Here is one perspective.
I’ve had Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism since I was about 21. It has not threatened my life. I have had blood tests to ensure normal thyroid function ever since. After my twins were born, my thyroid did not function normally. It caused alopecia and a good deal of hair fell out. I felt exhausted and my hands and feet were always cold. It took six months to get the thyroid functioning normally. I still have many symptoms like brittle nails and weight gain, even though my thyroid tests come back normal.
Is there more that I can do besides blood tests to gain better control of my hypothyroid condition? Is there a diet or alternative ways to ensure that my thyroid is regulated and to maintain my weight?
