Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Sorry I can't help! I don't have it or any other AI disease beside Hashimoto's. However, many people with one AI disease have several others. You may need to do some research on your own to find answers to your question. Good luck, Bj > > > > Hello! > > > > If anyone with thyroid problem here have vitiligo? > > I do have, this is another autoimunne disease... > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Darn,I was just researching some PubMed studies today and came across one that addressed this and said it can be due to hypothyroidism and often goes away once one is euthyroid. But the study wasn't the subject of my search, so I didn't save it. > > > > Hello! > > > > If anyone with thyroid problem here have vitiligo? > > I do have, this is another autoimunne disease... > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes, you can go through periods of hypo, hyper, and euthyroid with Hashi's as the lymphocytes slowly destroy the gland, finally ending up permanently hypo. The general advice out there is to suppress the attack by being on enough thyroid med, but I am not able to tolerate Armour, so I'm currently not on anything. I have a bottle of Levoxyl here, but am afraid to try it for fear of days of hyperness like I had when trying the low dose Armour. > > -Thanks ! > > I was right, i thought about that if i would take control of my > thyroid i could stop of spreading my vitiligo.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 hi i don't know if i have vitiligo (which i read is diagnosed by taking a piece of your skin that is white, and viewing under a microscope for a telltale 'pattern " ) i have never had that test. but i do have absolutely white dots all over my forearms (even tho i am pale, i do have a " farmer tan " ) and that is where i have white dots.. i have longterm adrenal fatigue as well , plus hashis/autoimmune i have also read where AF can change our colors i have had small white patches of hair in eyebrow and scalp hair since i was early 20s (had a bad reaction to an antibiotic while undermedicated on thyroid meds.. and this put a huge hit on my adrenals ( i know NOw ) and woke up with white hair! the white dots appeared in my 20s as well. all my white patches/dots move around over time /appear/disappear /change places -Carol > > > > > > Hello! > > > > > > If anyone with thyroid problem here have vitiligo? > > > I do have, this is another autoimunne disease... > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
