I read an interesting article today,which lead to others, and then my brain gave up
But I thought I would ask:
How many of you with Hashimotos are of a Rh- Rhesus negative Blood type????
This can be
A-
B-
AB-
O-
The reason I ask, is that there have been a number of studies, funded by the rhesus negative association I must add, that show a link between Rh- blood groups and autoimmune diseases
However they have not focused on one single disease, so I do not think that docs take this seriously.
If there were a link, surely that would mean docs could screen us -ve's annually - or do they know there is a link and feel it is not cost effective to catch us before we fall off a health cliff, and wait to treat us until we are really ill on purpose?
so - yes or no - are you a Hashimotos sufferer with Rh- blood type?
inquiring minds need to know

I am A- and have Hashimoto's. Don't know my daughter's blood type, but I wonder whether being pregnant with an Rh+ fetus is a precipitating factor. I did have RhoGam, though, which should have prevented my developing an immune response to the Rh factor.
