Most thyroid disease in women is considered autoimmune in nature although there are a few causal factors. Excess estrogen is a big one.
Our family attempted to get a medical exemption for our college attending daughter who has Hashimoto’s to no avail. Once we threatened the University with a lawsuit they quickly issued her exemption.
Autoimmune conditions tend to piggyback once the immune system is skewed out of balance. The strategies for quieting an over reactive/damaged immune system can be quite a challenge. I’ve been down this rabbit hole studying for many years. Speaking from my own personal experience, there are VERY few medical doctors/endocrinologists who truly understand thyroid disease and even fewer who actually treat thyroid issues properly.
Unfortunately all the warnings by researchers stating folks with autoimmune conditions should be exempt from the jab fell on deaf ears. 😔
Thanks for sharing and good for you that you challenged the school.
Sadly you helped reinforce the concern for my mother who has been struggling with an autoimmune issue in her liver. She hardly ever drinks alcohol, but she did get the shots.
I’m very sorry to hear this. Nearly all doctors will name a condition they don’t fully understand as “autoimmune”. Often they tell a patient the cause of their condition is “just their genetics.” Those kind of answers prevent patients from asking more questions and merely accepting they are somehow flawed or got dealt a bad genetic hand, which is TOTAL and complete BS.
I hope you can help your mom with liver support measures.

Thanks. I'm going to do some more research.
Hope your daughter can manage her condition and heal.
