What can be done about hashimoto's thyroditis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treatment options: Usually hashimoto's burns out and you become hypothyroid, and then need lifelong levothyroxine. In the interim, your thyroid levels may be normal and there is nothing much you can do except pay attention to your symptoms. Sometimes, hashi overlaps with graves and you can be hyperthyroid and the hyperthyroidism should be treated. Sometimes the goiter can be very large, and this may cause symptoms.
