IKYL: HASHIMOTO’S ?!?! | My Chronic Illness Diagnosis Story 

Thank you for doing this! I wanted to find a woman of color experience and here you are! Thank you

As soon as i DIAGNOSED MYSELF and showed my doctor what was missed over four years by him via blood tests and symptoms, I've been on medication. I haven't had cold hands in a month. An actual miracle.

No no you shouldn’t take that it causes dementia later in life you should ask your doctor about armour thyroid I’m taking 30 mg so far it has been working great for me

Wow my mom's name is Johnna, same pronunciation. I love it!! Thanks for sharing your journey!!

Ur literally the only Black woman (person period) i see talking about this thank u so much !!!!!!💚👍🏽 it feels nice to finally see a familiar face

Thank you for this video! I’m being dismissed right now despite having thyroid nodules and a biopsy stating I probably have chronic thyroiditis due to Hashimoto’s disease . I needed to hear it from another black woman to keep fighting

Thanks for sharing! I was recently diagnosed last year but I realize I have had it for awhile based on the symptoms.

I have had hashimoto's for years. This is a excellent video. I take black cumin seed oil (for hair, skin and memory) and a vitamin b complex every morning (for energy and really helps digestive issues)

Yo I have it and was told consistently it was depression and anxiety when I was really beyond exhausted and sleepy, and had a heart arrhythmia and couldn't catch my breath without enough oxygen circulating. One vial of blood for TSH could have saved me years of my life if I'd had that rather than seeing a doc for "panic attacks" and then all the that added up to this.

Just ordered my own labs because my Dr refused to do FULL thyroid panel. "Oh you just have low vitamin D". 🙄

Thank you . It is very Helpful . ( your story .)

Please do more research on autoimmune. If you dont treat that you can get more autoimmune disorders.

Your wonderful . Thanks for sharing with all of us .

As a young adult who has this disease, it gets put off so much as other things. The thing when it comes to labs is with Hashimotos your labs don't always show something and it's the most annoying illness that I've had to deal with. To this day, I have been having SEVERE chest pain, and even more recently having a lot of problems that I won't go too far into. To this day, when I have told doctors there is something wrong, I am having problems, I am constantly told that it's in my head and that the blood work is fine. Thank you for sharing your story, and your experience. As lonely as this disease can feel, I know other people struggle with thyroid issues but yet it's still not all that well known. I promise it's not in your head, and it is very empowering to hear your story. Thank you. ALSO I am now on so many medications and now getting put on a vitamin D supplement.

Did you have any throat pain

You should really look into Dr. Brooke Goldner's dietary protocol. She wrote Goodbye Lupus and Goodbye Autoimmune Disease. She helps people reverse their autoimmune diseases. She reversed her own lupus 16 years ago. I've reversed my Hashimoto's thanks to her too.

It really helps . Thank you .

Thank you so much for making this video. I hope to see a hashimotos update from you in the future because like you said, in my research I don't see many women that look like me ❤

Thank you for sharing your story

Thank you sooo much for uploading and sharing from one black woman to another i really identified when you said that you didnt see anyone else like you...i dont have a diagnosis now..but im slowly putting pieces together and this disease seems to be hitting when it comes to these distinct and odd symptoms so i thank you again .

Thank u for sharing your story. I have subclinical hypothyroidism and have struggle with so many symptoms. I found out i have gut infection,h pylori,candida, leaky gut,leaky gut trigger Hight TPO, cut out gluten,dairy,soy, and take selenium to get the TPO antibodies down... also check for vitamin D,and other nutrients.i had to figure out all thus myself bo doctor was helpfull ore told me what this mean.allways depression,brain fog, hair loss,cold hands and fet ,weight problems..., how high is your TPO?

Thank you so much sister! I'm going through the same thing I had no idea what it was! Praise God for you diligence and fight for the truth!

Will you do another video update on your Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis ? Great Video … Thank You 🙏🏽 by the way… your taking the best meds but she may need to increase it for you to feel your ABSOLUTE BEST … also check out Dr. Westin Child’s, Izabella Wentz and Elle Russ on RU-vid. As women of color we must keep each other informed those other meds DONT WORK ( allegedly )

Do you have an update on the AIP and what you noticed from doing it??

Hey, great vid. keep up the good work there. xoxo

Omg! Our stories are very similar! The brain fog is real.

Girl, I’m so pissed at my doctor. Last year I broke out In full body hives, was experiencing all the symptoms you named and my labs were slightly elevated. Again was told my labs were normal. It’s been a year and a half and I’m trying to find a doctor who will treat me. Mh doctor has been trying to give me every excuse but the one that’s obvious.

Thank you so much for sharing your story I've just subbed I can totally relate! ❤

Thank you so much. Very informative.

Been there too.

🌻🙌🙌🙌

How are you doing now? I was diagnosed with Graves and Hastimotos.

I have started the AIP diet to try to find the triggers for my hashimoto's. In 2 months I lost 30 lbs when I had struggled to lose 5 over 6 months before. It isn't easy at first but after a couple weeks it gets easier.
