I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's a few months ago. I am on a low dose of Synthroid (50mgs) and still having alot of difficulty. I stay painfully tired most days, and have recurrent chest pain, neck pain, headaches, dizziness, sleepiness, and overall soreness that feels similar to flu-like symptoms. I also have recurring sore throats and swelling of my thyroid gland that is visible and uncomfortable, and seems to interfere with my breathing. Are these symptoms a normal part of Hashimoto's and is there any way to treat this disease naturally and permanently?
