MEDICAL INFORMATION: HASHIMOTO'S DISEASE " The thyroid gland wraps around the base of the throat in a butterfly shape and secretes thyroid hormone that affects the body's metabolism. Hashimoto's disease is an hereditary autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks an organ of its own body, in this case the thyroid. Hashimoto's Disease is hypothyroidism caused by antibodies to thyroid cell components. These components are thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG). You could have antibodies to either or both components. Generally the onset is slow but not detected in the early progression of the disease. It results in progressive destruction of the thyroid gland. Hashimoto's Disease is often referred to as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, autoimmune thyroiditis, lymphadenoid goiter, struma lymphomatosa, and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. I have read there is evidence of genetic predisposition to Hashimoto's Disease and apparently about 25% of people with Hashimoto's Disease also have another type of autoimmune disease (ex. pernicious anemia, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency). People can develop Hashimoto's disease at any age however it most commonly develops in women ages 30 to 50. It was first identified in 1912. In Hashimoto's disease antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies are present in blood serum, and lymphocytes infiltrate the thyroid gland. This often causes enlargement or goiter, yet some patients experience atrophy or shrinking of the gland. The parenchyma, or functional tissue of the gland, is progressively destroyed and replaced by lymphocytes or fibrous tissue. Thyrotropin, secreted from the pituitary gland and known as thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH, increases in the patients serum as thyroid reserves are depleted. At some stages of this destruction, excess thyroid hormone, T3 and T4, may be released causing temporary hyperthyroid states. If hormone levels rise very high they can cause Hashimoto's toxicosis. Eventually enough tissue may be destroyed that thyroid hormone can no longer be adequately produced, resulting in a condition called hypothyroidism or in its extreme, life-threatening myxedema. Medical treatment often involves replacement of thyroid hormone, levothyroxine or T4. The treatment of hypothyroidism by the administration of thyroid hormone is probably as successful as any therapeutic measure in medicine. There are several symptoms of hypothyroidism according to medical science. These include fatigue, depression, weight gain,(fluid retention), cold intolerance, hair gets fragile and sheds (hair loss),altered menstrual cycles, infertility, constipation, dry skin and may become thicken, goiter which may be nodular, drooping eyelids, facial swelling, and memory problems (mental processes become dull). Other symptoms are blood pressure may be low, muscle aches and/or weakness, joint stiffness, clumsiness, lethargy (just don't feel like doing anything, described as couch potato syndrome. You don't necessarily feel bad, just don't want to do anything but " veg out " .) and over active reflexes. This is due to slow reflex return. Ex. when the doctor checks your knee reflex (or you accidently bump it), your leg goes out farther than what it use to before you got hypothyroidism. When the T4 level is low the cholesterol level goes up. These are common symptoms of Hashimoto's Disease and hypothyroidism. These symptoms are generally diminished or alleviated with proper medical treatment. As with most medical conditions, not everyone diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease or hypothyroidism will experience each symptom listed to the same degree. There are other symptoms of hypothyroidism reported by alternative medicine. These include being cold when other people are comfortable, cold hands and feet, tiredness (even exhaustion), heart palpitations, nervousness, dry coarse skin, slow speech, swelling of face and eyelids, thick tongue, coarse hair, loss of hair, pale skin, gain of weight, labored, difficult breathing, swollen feet, loss of appetite, hoarseness of voice, any kind of menstrual problems, brittle nails, slow movement, poor memory, inability to think clearly, depression, frequent headaches, and loss of interest in sex. These symptoms are due to the slowing down of the body's metabolism. The heart rate is slower resulting in drop in blood pressure. This result in slower circulation which in turn causes the cold feet and hands. Body wounds tend to heal slower than before. Frequent headaches occur, energy and endurance is low and digestion slows down. Hair then becomes lifeless and falls out more easily. Thinking is sluggish and memory is poor.
