thank for the posts everyone, no need to argue though

Incase you still want to reply I have been diagnosed with Hasimoto's thyroiditus. But the medication is not working and my heachaches are getting so much worse, i can't articulate hardly anything and there's this like brick in my head that's stopping me be me normal self. I'm just getting so tired of it and i haven't heard people describe this exactly on these forums so i was looking for some reassurrance really.

thank you for your help all xx

No one insulted you or your character.

It might be rare because doctors are still deciding if the antibodies are different than those of Hash. Some doctors might not know how to diagnose it since people like me with very high autoimmune numbers are rare.


I actually said she probably didn't have it.

Also, when chronic fatigue syndrome was just in people's heads--there were only a few cases actually reported and documented. Now, doctors acknowledge it as a real illness.

BTW, my doctor knew what Hash Brain was:)

Good night, AR-10.

I don't love to argue with people.

Maybe your doctor likes to say Hash Brain, but it is not a term I have ever heard a doctor use or seen on any thyroid forum.

She did not mention any symptom of "hash brain" at all.

Like I said, it is extremely rare.
There are less than ten documented cases of it in five years.
It is not a blip on her radar.

Educate her all you want.
Start with the facts.

Please do not insult my intelligence or my character.

Actually, she did mention similar symptoms, but as I've stated--I didn't think  that was it. Purpose of this forum is education.
Hash Brain--I've worked with doctors and sometimes they just call things by jargon terms. Like I said--I should have used the correct term because I know how you love to argue with people who are trying to educate others.

Hashimoto's can have Hashimoto's encephalopathy as a co-diagnosis--so it is germane.

I did mention that spelling can be an issue.:)

"Hashi brain"  is slang and I have never seen it used in any context whatsoever.

Hashimoto's Enchephalopathy is extremely rare, and the original poster did not mention any symptoms of that affliction whatsoever.

I have done extensive reading about Hashimoto's Encephalopathy, as you may have.

There are less than ten documented cases of it in the United States within the last five years.

Mentioning it in this thread is just going to scare the original poster, who said nothing about high anti-body counts or listed ANY of the symptoms of that disease.

Try sticking to the subject at hand.

Her headaches could be from brain cancer, too, but it is also ridiculous to say so in this thread.
