Natalie,

It’s been my experience that with my hypothyroidism the only time I ever had decreased libido was when I was extremely fatigued. Anything that required energy was a problem for me. Once your thyroid is regulated everything else should improve. If it doesn’t then take note of the things that are still wrong and check on these issues with your doctor.

Thank you for giving much information on dieting for those who suffer from this disease. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year after many unsuccessful years to fall pregnant. But since I was put on medication I’ve been optimistic with my plans to get pregnant. One of the issues as you mention in this article is decreased libido. I’ve always been having problems in my sexual life in terms of deep feelings it gives, such as orgasm. Can this synthetic hormone replacement treatment help me to have better quality sexual relationship? Or with this illness I also need to undertake some other forms of psycological treatment? Thank you for your time.

if your thyroid tests in the normal range and you are certain you have hypothyroidism, who do you ask for further testing?

Hi Jacquelyn,

I haven’t heard, read or seen where acid reflux is a symptom of Hashimoto’s. But I can tell you personally that when I don’t keep enough water in my diet and I’m eating many rich foods I do get acid reflux.

I am 54 years old and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in my late 30′s. In that time I have had ultra-sounds that show I have a badly diseased thyroid and nodules. This has been checked a number of times, but shows no further change. My blood count always falls within the normal range. As a result I am not on any medication for this. I am on medication for high blood pressure – which has been a problem since my 30′s also. More recently I have also been having problems with acid reflux and have been put on medication for this. My question is – is my acid problem in any way related to hashimoto’s? On speaking with a nutritionist recently – after mentioning I had Hashimoto’s, was asked how my stomach acid was?

i was just diagnosed today. i do have the family history (sister had graves disease), and the whole reason i got further testing (my thyroid tested in normal range) is due to my sister telling me to get further testing because i was having problems getting pregnant for the past 8 years! So, it sucks having to to take meds for the rest of my life, but maybe we’ll finally get pregnant!?!

One of my ex wives had thyroid problems, but I never knew there were so many symptoms for hypothyroidism. I guess it effects a lot more than I previously thought… nice post.
