Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Symptoms

Presentations I do on Hashimoto's are done from questions and the question was what are Hashimoto's thyroiditis
00:00:07
symptoms and so Hashimoto's is primarily an automating problem but it but it shows up first as a hypo thyroid case
00:00:24
because over a period of time you have a thyroid that has started to get attacked by your immune system and in the
00:00:34
beginning when you get this attack you may only get symptoms from the hypothyroid aspect of this and what that
00:00:46
means is that as you attack the thyroid the initial response is you start to lose thyroid tissue and that causes you
00:00:58
to make less thyroid hormone so normally in the beginning you'll get you'll get fatigue you'll get tired you know
00:01:11
usually start putting on weight for no but you haven't changed your diet you haven't stopped exercising you know your
00:01:18
routine is pretty much the same reason all sudden you start putting on weight some people gradually some people not so
00:01:23
gradually hairs are falling out varying degrees Hashimoto's the hypothyroid aspect of Hashimoto's slows everything
00:01:34
down so I can slow down your intestines they can slow down your stomach so you can start getting stomach acid
00:01:44
you could get GERD because you don't have enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach because the thyroid is slowing
00:01:49
it down so you can get acid indigestion you can get gas bloating the most common gastrointestinal symptoms that you'll
00:01:59
get will be constipation because it has to do with you helping your nervous system to
00:02:09
ultimately make the the bounce move so everything slows down your bowels move down one of the most common causes
00:02:15
constipation is hypothyroid so you'll get those you'll you swelling around swelling around the ankles is another
00:02:24
one dry skin normally the dry skins usually on the shins of the ankles sometimes you'll get mixed edema of the
00:02:32
face we've gotten questions about why I get puffiness in the face so basically everything slows down
00:02:38
you're not clearing your liver is not clearing your lymph glands aren't clearing so you're starting to get
00:02:44
puffiness and then as the attack keeps taking place and more and more tissue goes but as the attack keeps taking
00:02:51
place more and more then you start activating these enzymes more that create the thyroid hormone and during
00:03:00
the attacks you will get usually intermittently you'll get I think the big one is kind of anxiety
00:03:09
intermittently for no reason at all anxiety happens you're getting too much thyroid hormone during the attacks and
00:03:16
and it and it creates a situation that sets off a stress response in your brain insomnia you can get insomnia you can
00:03:28
get inward tremors Hashimoto's thyroiditis has an affinity to also create an attack on something called
00:03:36
your cerebellum it's called molecular mimicry a lot of times these two things will will get
00:03:42
attacked at the same time the thyroid and the cerebellum and so you might get inward tremors for no reason at all
00:03:49
night sweats you can get night sweats from some indirect function of the thyroid affecting your estrogen hormone
00:04:02
imbalances so so anxiety and we're tremors panic attacks you can't you can get panic attacks in extreme cases and
00:04:13
insomnia night sweats for some of you who have a for the for some of you who are like that 20% that the thin
00:04:23
Hashimoto's patient I have a presentation online on the thin the Hashimoto's patient on power a Health
00:04:29
Net parallels talk.com and that person will actually have an inability to gain weight where the were the average
00:04:38
Hashimoto's patient will put weight on for no reason at all this particular aspect or form of Hashimoto's the
00:04:47
patient watch they have more of those hyper functions more anxiety more impact tags more and more insomnia more and
00:04:53
more tremors more stuff like that more Menai more hot flashes more night sweats it's more night sweats and hot flashes
00:04:59
actually but they'll also not be able to put on weight there like I've never been able to put on weight and I'm jittery
00:05:04
and I have you know I have more energy than anybody could possibly imagine so so there is that it's a it's a you know
00:05:11
it's a it's it's a it's a symptom and in an aspect of Hashimoto's that patient is more of an outlier more than minority
00:05:19
but but just for a sense of completeness to try to answer this question you might be the person who sent this in might be
00:05:26
the thinnest motus patient those are those are like primarily the main symptoms that you would look for outer
00:05:33
30 the eyebrows disappearing that's another one hour 30 the eyebrows disappearing is usually a sign of
00:05:40
thyroid problem not particularly high shadows but Hashimoto is usually usually as hypothyroid first so thinning
00:05:49
staining of hair on your scalp your face places where you'd normally expect to have hair your genitals if that starts
00:05:56
thinning out along with the hair up here that also is another another sign you know waking up tired after having eight
00:06:02
hours of sleep that could that's another sign a fatigue just that type of fatigue I would say I think that covers the vast
00:06:12
majority depression depression can be lack of motivation can be as I just get done saying that that was most of them
00:06:20
but those are Biggie's without a doubt hashem oseh Hashimoto's can be a main main cog in component in a
00:06:29
person developing profession or lack of motivation it slows everything down slows so it slows brain function down it
00:06:36
creates inflammation in the brain it decreases blood supply to the brain Hashimoto's doesn't know so I would say
00:06:41
that's a pretty good starting point that's probably 80 90 percent of the symptoms that I see in here all the time
00:06:47
and so I think that answers that question that it's a lot of different symptoms when I first started doing
00:06:54
Hashimoto's and people would come up with all these symptoms are we going oh my god like what am I going to do it
00:06:59
it's person and the answer was get their immune system under control and dampen the immune attack against their thyroid
00:07:05
so so that is symptoms what that would answer the question of what are the symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis
