Good luck to you. I came back to this after having seen it in my email. I was curious. I have been wondering how people are dealing with the supply chain issues. I recently took myself off synthroid. They tell you , if you are diagnosed with Hashimotos, that you will require it the rest of your life. Well that is simply not true. I was worried about the supply chains and suddenly didn't even trust that my meds would be what they are supposed to be (great distrust in Pharma). I was on the lowest dose possible, so I weaned myself off it. Having to stop suddenly would have been a WHOLE DIFFERENT story. I did have a few panic attacks and what I would describe as thyroid storms. I'll admit , it was a little scary, but I wanted to KNOW. And I didn't want to be dependent on Big Pharma for anything anymore if I could live without it. So then, I committed to a certain diet based on a book called Hashimotos, your root cause. Don't listen to the naysayers. Replace every negative thought with "you are okay, you are safe, I love you body". I recently spent a lot of money at a functional medicine doctors office and doing labs and guess what? My thyroid markers are exactly perfect in every category! Imagine that. I have also taken up going outside more, I am sure that's the ticket. Good luck to you in all you do. I wish you every success.
