Did anyone who corrected a vitamin D deficiency have lower antibodies and fixed their hypothyroidism?

I've been taking vitamin d3/k2 and have find my psoriasis clearing up which is also an autoimmune disease. I was wondering if anyone healed their thyroid and achieved euthyroidism from D3? Thanks.

It's probably a lot more complicated than that and actually not possible to cure Hashimoto's. It definitely helps us to get key vitamins optimal but it's not a cure.

Many people find cutting out inflammatory foods can help lower TPO antibodies

Most common ones are gluten and/or dairy

Test for coeliac before cutting gluten out

Low TSH often lowers Thyroglobulin antibodies

When first diagnosed with Hashis I was severely anaemic and vitamin D deficient. I took a prescribed loading dose of vit D and iron between the first test showing a raised TSH and the next one 6 weeks later - even though I was eventually prescribed Levo, my TSH dropped significantly in that time. I took this as a clear sign of how optimising your Vit D and iron levels can support thyroid function. Suggest symptom remission rather than cure is a more reasonable expectation. Hope you continue to see improvements 🙂

How significantly? Do you have numbers?

I would think if the Hashis is of short standing there would be a much better chance of great improvement, perhaps even cure. However many cases can go undiagnosed for a long time. In those eventualities there has probably too much damage for a ‘cure’.
