I am curing myself of Hashimoto's thyroiditis

I am a professional journalist who suffers from Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an auto-immune disorder in which the body's antibodies, attack the thyroid gland. I was prescribed Thryoxine and told to take it for life. I am now challenging this directive through a course of action which I am determined will reverse my disease and restore my thyroid function. I will write regularly about what I am doing to fight this disease. Perhaps together we can prove that Hashimoto’s can be reversed.

Hashimoto say: He who shouts causes deafness and then he won't be heard.

Hello all

I am revealing who Hashimoto is today to my Twitter followers. No more anonymity. This is who I am. @Donshardnews.

Five years on I never attempted to cure myself of thyroid disease again. I take thyroxine every day and, for the most part, I'm OK. Sometimes you just have to accept this is how things are. There are far worse things.

In a way, it reminds me I'm human and mortal - something perhaps we all need reminding of from time to time.

Much love all

Hashimoto
