Got brain drain? Hashimoto’s, autoimmunity, and brain degeneration (it also includes hypothyroidism).

Following on from PR4NOW's post this morning. This is essential reading but please note there are things that can be done to help. Extracts:-

1, Many symptoms of brain decline overlap with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism so that patients—and their doctors—often ignore the symptoms, treating them as just one more thyroid issue to live with.

2. Several papers have also found hypothyroidism associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Be aware of early symptoms, including: (I can see some similarities in myself but it advises to improve brain health).

3. Once a person is labeled a “thyroid patient,” doctors blame brain symptoms on hypothyroidism and ignore effective strategies that support brain health. One thing I have learned in teaching seminars to all kinds of health care practitioners, conventional and alternative, is that knowledge about the brain is limited to general recommendations, such as prescribing fish oil supplements or antidepressants. As brain degeneration goes unaddressed, symptoms worsen, causing considerable worry and stress for the patient.
