Hasimoto and HRT

[Hedgesone]

Hi my bloods are ok at the moment I have hashimotos although addressing some iron deficiency . I want to feel less tired and GP has suggested HRT . I also have hot flushes . Is there anyone who could comment positive or not positive ? . May be I should wait and see if the iron helps ? 😊

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

How long on current dose

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

What were most recent thyroid results

ALWAYS Test as early as possible in morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

What were recent iron and ferritin results

When were vitamin D, folate and B12 last tested

Please add vitamin results and ranges

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

As you have Hashimoto’s are you on strictly gluten free diet

I would listen to SlowDragon but also look into HRT to stop the flushes . I personally love HRT gel. And I also take Levothyroxine 🤷‍♀️

I’m seeing benefits with HRT and would recommend you look at Dr Louise Newsam’s ‘Balance’ app, which has really helped me. It’s very user friendly & has lots of links to research.
