It comes first from the fortitude to seek explanation.\u00a0<em>Why<\/em>\u00a0do those symptoms not just persist but dominate, despite your best efforts to do what you know to address them?<br \/>\nSymptoms don&#8217;t look alike for everyone with a particular diagnosis. My Hashimoto&#8217;s symptoms, for instance, likely look quite different than yours, which look different than my mother&#8217;s. Not having all symptoms doesn&#8217;t mean your handful are less relevant.<br \/>\nTake a look at the top results from the Hashimoto&#8217;s Symptom Checklist I posted last fall on the graph down below. Responses came flowing in with\u00a0<strong>fatigue, difficulty losing weight and poor concentration<\/strong>\u00a0afflicting more than 75% of the 700+ checklist participants.<br \/>\nThese are symptoms that most definitely suck.<\/p>\n<h2>STEP #1: SEEK EXPLANATION<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s my strong opinion that we all owe it to ourselves to seek the support that will help us interpret the meaning or the reason for our symptoms. While this same thinking may not be true of an actual diagnosis ~ we may not benefit from steeping ourselves in the\u00a0<em>why<\/em>\u00a0~\u00a0<strong>a symptom always has a root cause<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s always a reason why.<br \/>\nThe root cause of our symptoms may even provide insight about the diagnosis itself.<br \/>\nUpwards of 95% of hypothyroid cases in the U.S. are actually an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto&#8217;s Thyroidistis that is not being addressed by traditional hypothyroid care. Hashimoto&#8217;s can even deceive the practitioner, making it appear that you are not hypothyroid on standard labs even when you have every suspicion that you are.<br \/>\nThis leaves too many of us struggling with symptoms like those in the graph below without any explanation or resolution at all. It deludes hope.<\/p>\n<h2>STEP #2: TAILOR YOUR TREATMENT<\/h2>\n<p>If fatigue, resistant weight loss and brain fog are your concerns, coffee, calorie restriction, excessive workouts and Suduko may not provide lasting resolution, as you&#8217;ve likely experienced. I have too! That&#8217;s because these seeming solutions are sidestepping the root cause of our symptoms.<br \/>\nSadly there&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>no quick-fix or one right way<\/strong>\u00a0to treat a diagnosis of any sort.<br \/>\nIn fact, recently I read a report on how to address hypothyroidism by consuming a hearty breakfast of eggs, raw milk, coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. I can tell you that with my unique internal system (ie. my symptoms and sensitivities), that this prescribed morning meal would leave me bathroom bound all day, oscillating between nausea, loose stools and swinging energy levels. And that&#8217;s just on day one. I hate to think of what a week of this regime would do to my system!<br \/>\n<em>(Who needs symptoms in response to the supposed resolution? That sounds like the trap of the pharmaceutical industry to me.)<\/em><br \/>\nWith no one-size-fits-all solution, it takes a deeper understanding of your internal situation, from your symptoms to your story, to\u00a0<strong>navigate the management of any condition<\/strong>, particularly an autoimmune condition. This is a level of detection that\u00a0<em>you<\/em>\u00a0are poised to do better than anyone else on your team, at least with the right guide.<\/p>\n<h2>STEP #3: SPONSOR YOUR SYMPTOM SENSITIVITY<\/h2>\n<p>The bottom line is that symptoms suck when they rule your life, when they&#8217;ve taken over your everyday and seem to define you and everything you do.<br \/>\nWhat if the goal were not to be symptom free? What if the goal was to manage and mitigate those symptoms so that you could become symptom sensitive, using your symptoms as the GPS that helps to re-route you, keeping you on the course that allows you to experience the freedom to live your life to its fullest?<br \/>\nStep by step to symptom sensitivity. . .<br \/>\n(Remember, your symptoms are your GPS. Learn to pay heed to the directions!)<br \/>\nWarmly,<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Andrea-sig-158px.png\" alt=\"Andrea Nakayama\" width=\"192\" height=\"63\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8540\" \/><br \/>\nP.S.
