I have Hashimoto's as well. Diagnosed nearly 2 years ago. But it took me 10 years to find someone who would listen to me! :-( Diet is SUPER important, to keep the inflammation down. Jmricht is right. Keto/carnivore diet. And drink lots of water! Get a water filter/pitcher that alkalinzes your water. I found a great one on Amazon for under $40. Lemon in your water is great, too. And raw apple cider vinegar, preferably organic. Take a tablespoon or so in the morning and evening.

YOU CAN HAVE "NORMAL" THYROID LEVELS AND STILL HAVE HASHIMOTO'S! I can't stress this enough. Most endocrinologists don't even recognize Hashi's as an autoimmune disorder, let alone treat it. :-( Your wife needs to be on BRAND NAME Synthroid, not the generic. TSH levels should be between 1-2.

Mental/emotional stress can bring on Hashii flare-ups. I finally decided that my health is more important, and I made several changes both at work and at home to alleviate stress. Also, your emotional support is so very needed. Hashimoto's is a misunderstood disease, and it's hard to explain the pain flares all through your body, the crippling fatigue, the brain fog that accompanies your everyday existence. Be patient. It sounds like you're already trying to help her, which is wonderful. It's a difficult condition to manage.

Where do you live? Keep us updated, and I will keep you and your wife in my prayers. May I have her first name? She will feel SO much better if she gets on Synthroid, changes her diet, and alleviates stress.

God bless both of you!
