I'd like to hear more about your neighbors experiencing autoimmune disorders. My wife is going through something similar. She has been the picture of health until this past year when she suddenly started exhibiting many symptoms that point to thyroid disorder, yet her endocrinologist says there is nothing wrong with her thyroid. She grew up in Southern California, so if the women in your community are finding success in treating their disorders, I would like my wife's doctors to take a look in this direction. Thanks.
- ubertoop 7y agoI'm so sorry to hear about your wife. I recommend getting multiple opinions. Unfortunately, much of this research is new and largely varies from doctor to doctor. I don't know specifics (since I'm luckily not a patient) but from what I've heard, there are many different metrics to look at. It's not as simple as any one blood marker. As for treatments, I wish I had good news. Unfortunately, the women I know who are dealing with this are not seeing great results at all. Some have tried IGIF, Methotrexate, and steroids. It's difficult to call any of their treatments a 'success'. I guess if you consider the fact that they're still alive, that's success... But their quality of life is a fraction of what it once was.
