Hashimotos thyroiditis worsening after vaxx?

  • Hashimotos thyroiditis worsening after vaxx?

    Posted by khsorsby on July 5, 2024 at 11:14 am EDT

    Has anyone heard of Hashimotos thyroiditis worsening after Covid 19 vaccination? Such as out of control TSH that cannot be controlled even with high amts of T4. What other treatment can be done to control the TSH?

    I have seen some articles saying the thyroid may be affected. Just wondering what others have experienced or heard.

    There is a known connection between vaccines and Covid itself, causing autoimmune flares. Not sure of your background but you might refer to a Functional Medicine provider. It’s possible that acupuncture may help regulate as well.

    Excellent webinar where a bunch of thyroid issues are discussed:

    Not sure if they touch on hashimoto’s post vaccine but it might have some good info for you.

    Covid vaccination set off a lot of different autoimmune issues in nurses I know. Was a vaccine recently received? If not recent, need to check other factors such as food sensitivities, stress, toxins, etc. If you aren’t converting the T4 med well, the thyroid will still struggle. May need some digestive support. Rt3, Free T3 and Free T4 along with TPO are needed for a full picture. If your Dr won’t order you can order yourself on Ulta labs and many other sites that have a lab draw spot near you. A functional medicine provider can help you figure this out.
