Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease. This means your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid, thinking it’s a threat. Over time, this damage can cause your thyroid to stop working properly.

The most common thyroid test is called TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). Doctors use it to check if your thyroid is working well. But here’s the problem: TSH only tells part of the story.

Your thyroid is a small gland in your neck, but it has a BIG job. It helps control your energy, weight, mood, and more. When your thyroid isn’t working properly, your whole body can feel off.

One of the most important things you can do is make a list of symptoms of hypothyroidism that you recognize within yourself.

It’s imperative to recognize the symptoms of thyroid disease and seek clarity from Dr. Elliot Hirshorn and New Life Health in Greenville, SC.
