Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, a disorder in which the immune system turns against the body's own tissues. In people with hashimoto's, the immune system attacks the thyroid. This can lead to hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid does not make enough hormones for the body's needs.
There is no cure for hashimoto's, but replacing hormones with medication can regulate hormone levels and restore your normal metabolism.
Yes, iodine may help.

Hi Since you are on treatment with thyroxine 125 mcg tablets, there is no need to do any separate testing. Just take iodinated salt. Since you already have hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is not functioning optimally. So it hardly matters. All the needs of thyroxine are being met by supplement. You should ensure that TSH level is maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L. If that is not the case then dosage of thyroxine may have to be increased. Thanks.

Hashimoto's disease is a condition in which your immune system attacks your thyroid, a small gland at the base of your neck below your Adam's apple. The thyroid gland is part of your endocrine system, which produces hormones that coordinate many of your body's functions.

Hypothyroid caused by diminished hormonal availibility will always be kept under control by thyronorm or eltroxin only. Other medicines mentioned have no role. You are supposed to be visiting your doctor periodically, regularly for monitoring tsh levels by blood test and making suitable fixing of dosage of thyronorm life long. There should be no problem.

Lybrate-user, hyperthyroidism is treated in the following manner:
1) using anti thyroid drugs like methimazole, carbimazole or propylthiouracil. One of these drugs is given for a period of 18 to 24 months. This causes suppression of thyroid gland. Occasionally after 18 to 24 months normal function returns. Treatment is discontinued. However, in many cases suppression does not occur. Then other options are considered.
2) radio active iodine: this is given in a small dose, absorbed by thyr...more
