I'm taking part in a clinical trial for a new treatment for Hashimotos
I've added the link to the trial if anyone wants to read more about it.
I'm not sure if they use this to treat Hashimotos anywhere else but they don't currently in Australia, hence the trial.
I'm 39F and I live in Australia, I've been diagnosed with Hashimotos for 4 years and like most of you I don't feel any better. I currently take 150mcg thyroxine daily.
The trial is to determine if a low dose of Naltroxene can improve quality of life by reducing the inflammation that causes many of the symptoms we all suffer. It's a double blind, randomised controlled trial and I hope I don't have the placebo! The trial is 6 months long and I will have blood tests and a check in after 3 months then again at 6 months.
Happy to update as I go through the trial if anyone is interested. it's been a week so far and it's too early to tell if its going to work - I'm praying so hard that it works!
If there's anyone from Sydney, Australia, I think they are still looking for more participants.
