I just got slapped with an auto immune problem with my thyroid. It's inflamed and will never go back to normal. So far I only have a fat neck and I'm stable but at any moment I might develop hypothyroidism because of this. I can't wait for this to work.

Edit: having said that... the source of this post has been known for clickbait bullshit articles so maybe I shouldn't hold my breath :(

The source of this post might be. But the study is solid as far as I can see. It was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering last week.

As phase I clinical trials are underway, we'll see how far this can get. But sure, don't expect too much, then you won't be disappointed. Let's hope it can really help people.

Thanks for that link. I trust nature.com quite a bit more

It seems like a decently written article… certainly more readable than the abstract of the scientific article.

Take hyperthyroidism seriously. Left untreated it will change your personality and those changes will be permanent even after you kill your thyroid.

So far my levels are okay and I'll have to do half yearly checkups to catch it changing. But from what I'm seeing it's mostly an incrrased risk, not a death sentence just yet

That's good 😊. My ex wife had graves. She is a women and has always been heavy so Dr's ignores the symptoms for nearly a decade.

Yeah that sucks. Really shows its a tug of war between doctors and patients, where patients get to deal with doctors that don't care / have prejudices that cause misdiagnoses, while doctors have to deal with patients who think they know better than the doctor... I'm happy that for the moment I'm fine

Non-hodgkins lymphoma here. My immune system literally wants to kill me. I wonder if this could do a "full reset".

Hypo here since just a couple years. I just take Eutirox daily and monitor my TSH levels each year. Other than that it’s been fine, no quality of life issues for me luckily yet

Great to hear!

I'm not even there yet, just have an inflamed thyroid, but really not much I can do about it
