I'm recently diagnosed and I'm panicking a bit. I'm only 28 and seem to have developed many problems after having my little one last year. Hashimotos being one of them.
Can someone please give me some positive stories?
Everything I've read seems so doom and gloom. The main thing scaring me is that anyone who has it is now more likely to get other autoimmune disorders. This worries me so much. Doesn't help that I have health anxiety and have also just had gallbladder surgery.
Thanks in advance xx

I don't think you need to worry. I've been diagnosed 20+ years ago and this diagnosis didn't impact my life...take your medication as prescribed and get blood tests done 1x per year (or when you feel that anything is off, e.g. you're more tired than usual) to see if your dose needs adapting, but other than that, I don't think you need to be concerned.

Has anyone adapted their lives? Dietary etc?

Honestly it’s had minimal impact on me- diagnosed over ten years ago. Just take thyroxine and adjust (as per doctor) when levels are off. Didn’t change my diet/cut out gluten and I’m fairly healthy overall.
