New to Hashimotos - Naltrexone?
Hi all, I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos, which I suspected I had for a couple years. Fatigue, could sleep all the time, brain fog, elevated TPO, poor memory, etc. I recently saw a naturopath who suggested low-dose (1-2mg) naltrexone (which I have to get from a compounding pharmacy so no insurance!). I saw a random MD for a primary care appt to see if I could possibly get it through my insurance if it was prescribed by THAT doctor, because it could be filled through my large HMOs compounding pharmacy. He was TOTALLY against it said there was no evidence- but ALSO completely gaslit me on Hashimotos as well telling me it’s not a real condition as it’s not recognized by the national endocrinology association or whatever its called.
I’m wondering has anyone else taken low-dose naltrexone and had lowered TPO and improved symptoms?
