A member asked:
Should i ask my doctor to check for other autoimmune diseases if i have hashimotos disease? meds not helping symptoms even when thyroid level normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but: If the thyroid level is normal, then your symptoms are not caused by the thyroid but something else. Although you may be at a somewhat higher risk to develop another autoimmune disease , your problem may or may not be an autoimmune one.
