Hashimoto's thyroiditis is difficult to treat, and most doctors don't seem to know how to treat any thyroid issue, let alone Hashimoto's. As you may know, with Hashimoto's the thyroid is under attack. Its function declines for a while, then one day, it ramps up for a while before it declines again. I've been told I might have Hashimoto's, but none of the doctors or nurse practitioners have bothered to do the necessary testing. They just keep readjusting my thyroid medication. Your thyroid issues can also affect your mood, in case they didn't tell you so, your low self-esteem days might be related to low thyroid.

Also, I think the BB website says somewhere that body temp/thyroid function has to be optimal for it to work.
