[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe a doctor told you to self treat with a vitamin[/quote]

She did not tell me. I went ahead on my own, targeted vitamin for energy.

The doctor (endocrinologist) told me I have ‘early stage’ thus it is up to me whether to start some hormonal treatment or not. She said I can try diet change as well plus minerals as supplements - magnesium+ .

At first, diet change helped. Plus I was mad that I have hashi and fought it mentally.  Pushed through tired. Then - got on b vitamins and now, if I don’t take b-complex, I’m just UNWELL.   This means you wake up as if the bus ran over you and now you need to recover - sleep it off and rest. This sucks.

I did not make it to labcirp this Saturday because I was too tired and did not want to bug my husband to drive either.

I cancel on people more often than not, but then there are good days.

My labs show every f-ing thing is normal… no anemia or anything else.

One test was off and that was the clue to endocrinologist to diagnose hashimoto. B/c other tests looked normal, I think she diagnosed it as *early* stage. ‘You definitely have hashimoto but it’s early stage’ - she said.
She took a note of my symptoms before stating the diagnosis:
- Always feeling cold (I am that person who carries around a sweater everywhere)
- Unjustified fatigue quite often (tired even after a few days of rest and lots of sleep)

And I went to the specialist - endocrinologist - actually, after being here a few times and complaining about constant fatigue despite good labs. Poster told me to see endocrinologist… so I did
