Hashimoto's Disease

Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system creates antibodies that attack and damage your thyroid gland. The thyroid enlarges and you can feel nodules (lumps) on your thyroid. This leads to the gradual, long-term destruction of the thyroid gland, and therefore insufficient levels of thyroid hormones. As the disease progresses, the thyroid may produce too few thyroid hormones, resulting in hypothyroidism. Hashimoto’s disease can affect any individual at any age, but mostly occurs in middle-aged women and people with a family history of thyroid disorders.

Consequences of Hashimoto's Disease

This disease can go unnoticed for a long time. In the course of the disease the thyroid gland can become exhausted. You begin with hypothyroidism with symptoms such as:

Fatigue and drowsiness and/or weakness
Cold intolerance
Difficulty concentrating or thinking
Depression
Weight gain
Enlarged neck or presence of goiter and, later in the disease, a small or shrunken thyroid gland
Abnormal menstrual periods
Constipation
Joint or muscle pain
Hair loss
Dry skin
Brittle fingernails
Swelling of the face
