Hypothyroidism is pretty common these days, especially among women. I know several people who are on thyroid meds for Hashimoto’s. Ages 34 to 60-something. Don’t know if they’ve had the covid vaccine.
There is help for hypothyroidism. Diet matters. Doctors don’t tell them that. Just take the pills, they’re told.
Yep, very common. But lots of causes and contributors to low thyroid.
Hashimoto’s is a confirmed autoimmune disease (via an antibody test) whereby the immune system basically attacks the thyroid.
In my sisters case they irradiated the thyroid, destroying it. Then gave her a lifetime of taking synthroid pills.
