Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an auto-immune condition of the thyroid gland. If you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, please consult your health practitioner before using Thyodine. We have had some reports from customers with a mild case of this condition who improved when using Thyodine. However, because Thyodine can stimulate the thyroid gland, it is possible that it could aggravate Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

Postpartum thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid that occurs in women after the delivery of a baby

Postpartum thyroiditis is caused by of anti-thyroid (anti-thyroid peroxidase, anti-thyroglobulin) antibodies that attack the thyroid and cause inflammation.

In the United Status, postpartum thyroiditis occurs in approximately 5-10% of women. The incidence can be greater in certain high-risk populations (see below).

The thyrotoxic phase may be treated with beta blockers to decrease palpitations and reduce shakes and tremors. As symptoms improve, the medication is tapered off since the thyrotoxic phase is transient. Antithyroid medications (see Hyperthyroid brochure) are not used for the thyrotoxic phase since the thyroid is not overactive. The hypothyroid phase is often treated with thyroid hormone replacement (see Thyroid Hormone Therapy brochure).

Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland. It generally occurs after a viral illness (which is known as subacute thyroiditis) or a pregnancy (postpartum thyroiditis). No specific virus or bacteria has been identified as causing the condition. This condition is temporary, but runs through a cycle of about six to three months. First, the thyroid will release too much thyroid hormone, resulting in hyperthyroidism.
