Hi everyone
My blood work before pregnancy was always fine.
Now I'm 8 months post partum...2 months ago I started feeling dizzy and having vertigo. Also pain in the calves and headaches. I did blood test whilst on holiday as I was feeling unwell and they suspect hashimoto.
I never had it before . Did someone had the experience of having it postpartum whilst breastfeeding and then it went away?? Why did it come ??? I feel a bit distraught as I had a difficult pregnancy and now feel like it ruined my health 😭

Hi, I’ve had Hashimoto’s for 5 years now. I wasn’t caused by pregnancy for me but as it’s an autoimmune disease I know that it can be triggered by pregnancy as it’s throws your immune system out of whack. As far as I’m aware, once you have it, it doesn’t go away. I take daily levothyroxine and it has absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. I just have a blood test every six months to check my thyroid levels. Happy to answer any questions you have!
