The six questions for anyone with Hashimoto’s wanting to contribute to my submission to my local federal member:
How long did it take you to get a Hashimoto’s diagnosis after you suspected something was wrong/began to experience symptoms? If undiagnosed but suspected, you can also state the answer here but please let me know if you’re still in pursuit of a diagnosis.
Were any of your thyroid hormones (TSH, T4, T3) within range at any point despite having thyroid antibodies present?
What (if anything) did your doctor tell you causes Hashimoto’s?
Was any additional testing undertaken to help identify the underlying cause of your condition?
Do you think your income has been affected by your autoimmune condition? And if so, by how much (estimate) over how many years?
Did your doctor ever suggest that you might be “making it up” and/or that you should go on antidepressants/seek mental health support rather than pursuing an autoimmune diagnosis?
You can respond in the comments section here OR email me at lou@ecological-nutrition.com.

Thank you for reading/watching, and I look forward to sharing with you again next week!
