So was having a disagreement with a lady on facebook about hypo and hashimotos. I said that if you don't take thryoid hormone when you need it you will eventually die so will need meds. This lady disagrees with me and says that for hashimotos "MOST people don't need meds" and just changing diet and lifestyle will solve the issues. She kept accusing me of not knowing the difference between hyp and hashimotos and said they are 2 different things (which i get) but I tried to explain to her that by the time most people are dignosed with hashimotos they already have damage done to the thyroid so not taking meds is dangerous. In early stages of hashimotos you put in remission (even later stages) but that doesn't mean it always be that way or it's a cure
So basically what do you think of her claims that " most people with hashimotos don't need thyroid hormone supplement" and can just tinker with diet. Read a few articles saying that even in early stages of hashimotos taking thyroid hormome could slow down the progression
