Wow my heart goes out to you! I love your attitude though. Is your connective tissue disorder like Marfan? My son has Marfan.
I asked about the differing autoimmune issues because I believe my under treated hypothyroidism has been the catalyst to my autoimmune diseases. I am not sure I have Hashimoto’s though. I had an endo tell me that I should just consider myself Hashimoto’s but she didn’t test my antibodies. My NP did last fall and my antibodies were normal so I don’t think I am. But anyway enough about me.
Here’s what I know about Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism: the main triggers are nutrient deficiency, allergies and other hormone imbalances. I would recommend that you look into these things. Having your thyroid working optimally is a good goal. I’m glad you don’t have any nodules but the enlarged gland is concerning. I believe getting your antibodies down should relieve so the swelling.
Have you ever read the book The Inflammation Syndrome? I high recommend it. Most prescription drugs cause inflammation and according to the author autoimmune = inflammation. It’s pretty interesting.

Rediculous cover design but my naturopath gave me this when I was diagnosed:
Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? when My Lab Tests Are Normal: a Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroidism by Datis Kharrazian
It has great references towards self help, learning about your body, and really focusing on food and what you put in it then listening to how your body responds.
Speaking of food, there are cookbooks to help get over the humps of refocusing nutrition:
The Whole 30
Hashimotos 4-week plan
Hope this helps, thanks for asking the question.
Sounds like she should look into NDT (naturally dissected thyroid) meds like Armour instead of synthetics like levo. NDTs work better for the majority of patients. I had the same symptoms as your wife when I was on levo and after switching to Armour it was like night and day, as did my mom, my aunts, and various other coworkers and too many people to count that I've talked to online. Her symptoms aren't normal, they mean that the medication isn't working for her.
Check out Stop the Thyroid Madness and Hypothyroid Mom and if either of you like to read, get the two Stop the Thyroid Madness books (first book on Amazon) (you can even request them from your library). Both sites have a lot of good information for people who weren't helped by synthetics like levo.
> "The participants were “blinded” during both phases – they did not know the type of pill they received. After each treatment period patients were weighed, had blood tests, underwent psychometric testing and were asked which therapy they preferred. The researchers report that 49% of the patients preferred desiccated thyroid extract, 19% preferred levothyroxine and 23% had no preference. Desiccated thyroid extract use was also associated with more weight loss." - Thyroid.org: Summaries for Patients from Clinical Thyroidology (from recent articles in Clinical Thyroidology): Desiccated thyroid extract vs Levothyroxine in the treatment of hypothyroidism
I think diet is the most important part for that based on my whirlwind research in the past few days.
I also found this page: https://www.restartmed.com/tpo-antibodies/
I think besides eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar, and alcohol from your diet (and probably some other things, too), the next important step are these nutrients that repeatedly come up like Selenium, Zinc, etc. I found this supplement that has 4,000+ positive reviews on Amazon. I ran it through fakespot and review meta to make sure the reviews are not fake. It got an A grade, passed with flying colors. Searching through the reviews, I found a lot of references to "hashimoto's," "anxiety," and "hair" regrowth. If you search for these quoted terms, you will find the reviews yourself. It appears to be a very good supplement that really helps. I've just ordered it yesterday, so I haven't actually tried it yet.
As far as diet and explanation goes for auto immune diseases like Hashimoto's, this book came highly recommended along with this cookbook. I will probably only get the first book because I never use cookbooks. Just tell me what I can eat and I will make my own meal no problem.
GF non-keto you still get rice and potatoes which helps and is easier. And there's some decent gf bakeries out there for special treats. The cake mixes are pretty decent too. https://www.amazon.com/Cake-Mix-Doctor-Bakes-Gluten-Free/dp/0761160981 is a good book that makes some easy, delicious cakes. Kids need treats and that's one of the hardest part of gf, so this does help a lot.
> Ever since I started this I have felt awful. Throat fullness/tightness, headache, fatigue dizziness & nausea. Anyone else have this problem?
Iodine alone without cofactors can make for an unpleasant experience, what you're experiencing isn't unusual.
I have a few suggestions, but I do not know what is in your chaste berry supplement and multivitamin so be sure to check them for selenium/selenomethionine so you don't take too much.
300-600mg magnesium (malate and taurate are good ones)
100mg B2 riboflavin twice a day (the yellow component of a b-complex)
500mg niacin twice a day (use inositol hexanicotinate, usually called "no flush" niacin, 500mg of true B3/niacinamide/nicotinic acid will ruin your day)
200mcg selenomethionine (be sure to check the multivitamin and other supplement for this, you don't want more than 400mcg in a day)
1,000mg Vitamin C (3 times a day)
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt (Redmond Real salt works too)
I believe these will help you see a welcome improvement, this is a great baseline to start out with.
More info available in [Iodine by David Brownstein M.D.] and [The Iodine Crisis by Lynne Farrow]
Quick links:
[Magnesium malate]
[B2/B3 cofactors]
[Selenomethionine]
[Vitamin C]
[Celtic sea salt]
[12.5mg iodine](what you're taking now is probably great, though the books recommend 50mg)
•This website, Autoimmune Wellness, as well as their book, linked below, are extremely helpful.
•The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook
•Stop the Thyroid Madness
•Izabella Wentz, she's extremely helpful to anyone looking to reverse Hashimoto's. I highly recommend her first book. The second I haven't read yet but I've heard good things about.
•Speaking of which, she has a good article about iodine. I know it works for some people, but it does not work for everyone, sometimes making things worse. People should be really careful about supplementing it.
•The problem with gluten. 1, [2] (https://chriskresser.com/the-gluten-thyroid-connection/). There's whole books about diet and Hashimoto's, but if you had no idea gluten is very bad for your thyroid, this is a place to start.
•I know some people here are vegetarians, and if it's working for you then great, but please be careful about it and monitor your vitamin and mineral levels. Hashi patients are very prone to deficiencies, and excluding animal products from your diet could make it worse.1, 2, 3
Ever since my hashi got bad caffeine causes me to get super sick but I LOVE coffee. The only thing I’ve found close is Cafix. It’s pretty amazingly close.
They sell it at my local Whole Foods but the label’s red.

I've been reading this book, Your Healthy Pregnancy with Thyroid Disease and although it does mention the link, it also outlines strategies to reduce risk. As I understand it, the more 'in remission' (lowered antibodies to acceptable range) one's Hashimoto's is, the better.
I think it's all going to be super individual. Maybe grab sample (travel sizes) to test first if you can. I started using Shae moisture stuff with castor oil in it. It seems to keep my scalp way way more moisturized than what I used to get with other products. My hair seems to grow faster too.. supposedly because of the castor oil. I have no idea if that's true or not, its only what I've been told. It could just be less breakage from dryness.

The protein in gluten and soy and oats and corn are all very similar and have been shown to contribute to brain function. There's a book that discusses this.

Slowly. I just bought an excellent book by a blogger I’ve been following for years. She is certified in hormone health and the science in this book really makes sense. I just started following some of the protocols so I can’t say if it’s working yet or not
