Принцесса Хайя Иорданская, младшая супруга правителя Дубаи и сестра короля Иордании, поделилась в ФБ личным опытом борьбы с болезнью Три года назад принцессе поставили диагноз аутоиммунного тиреоидита (болезнь Хашимото). Лечение оказалось сложным и утомительным, но оно того стоило!

Текст на англ.языке (можно перевести браузер-переводчиком):

I’d like to start a conversation about this little butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck.Three years ago I had a personal experience with the thyroid. The symptoms that I felt may seem very familiar to many of you. I lost my energy, I suffered from the most terrible fatigue, I gained weight rapidly, my eyesight got much worse, and at times I found it difficult to concentrate.
In all honesty, with this happening, my only thought was, “Gee, getting older really is not that much fun at all!” I never asked anyone about it, I just found my own way to cope. It wasn’t for about six months that I took a blood test for a regular checkup, and they said that the thyroid antibody levels were too high. That night I spent reading around the topic and what I discovered was really interesting.
One of the thyroid issues that matched my symptoms was a syndrome called Hashimoto’s Disease. It’s named after the Japanese surgeon who discovered it in 1912, and it’s to do with your autoimmune system attacking your own thyroid.I went to sleep that night thinking that this was good news, because there was a medicine called Thyroxine that is most commonly prescribed for this.
The next day I marched into the doctor and told him I had diagnosed myself with Hashimoto’s, that he could get on with the scan and then give me the medicine and I was going.They gave me the Thyroxine and said within 15 days I would feel better, and I would start losing weight. I felt a little better, but not much, and I didn’t lose any weight. So I decided to do my own research on the internet, which is not to be recommended because there are many incorrect sources of information. I also decided to look up all my own notes from when I was training for the Olympic Games and see if there was anything that I used to do differently.
On the net, by reading other people’s, I could see that one thing that kept being repeated was that you could not have gluten. I had always thought that avoiding gluten was a fashionable dietry fad, and I never really paid much attention to it. But every post I read from people with thyroid problems like Hashimoto’s said that it was one of the things you had to completely cut out of your diet. When I was reading about the gluten I started to think, maybe I just overdosed on it and its part of the problem? For sure during the year I worked on my brother Ali’s FIFA campaign we never had time to eat properly and I ate a lot of pizza and burgers, and I didn’t exercise much at all. Either way, I decided to give up the gluten straight away. And it made an incredible difference.
I also looked at my hormone balance and addressed that, and straightaway the numbers started falling at an incredible rate, about 40 – 60 points a month. I changed my exercise regime. I cut it down to start with and gave myself good recovery time. I did fast 20 minute “fixes” of exercise that are now in fashion. I tried to exercise early in the morning and kick start my metabolism, that way, and then walk everywhere I could for the rest of the day. And I tried to walk outside as much as I could, always. Even if I wasn’t in sports shoes, walking is walking, you don’t have to power walk, just walk.
Now my blood levels are down to 46, I still have to get down to 5. But in August last year it was 1090, and I have seen it drop every month, it has not gone up. I am hoping to get it all the way back down to 5, and then give up the Thyroxine as I don’t want to be on it all my life, and I can see there are others who have achieved the same thing.
I know that there are countless medical professionals around the world who have dedicated their lives to advancing understanding of thyroid health. Their work is contributing to better diagnosis and more effective treatment… but the causes of thyroid problems remain largely unknown and the journey of exploration continues. For those who are diagnosed, treatment experiences vary - for some, a lifetime of prescription drugs will follow a diagnosis. Depending on the details and severity of their condition, others like me find that dietary or lifestyle changes help.
But what I will say is that, while the research continues, it would be good for everyone to remain open minded. And also for me, it was important to stand up and be counted. Sometimes saying you have a problem is frowned upon. But I only got better because I read countless other stories by people who were brave enough to say that they had something wrong, and they faced it. I used their advice, and it worked for me. It may work for you if you have this problem, and it may not. I also know there are many many people who are not as lucky as me to have the medical support and the money to find doctors to listen to me.
I hope though that by sharing what happened to me and inviting others to tell me about their journey, we will all benefit.

Если вкратце, то повышение антител к клеткам щитовидной железы выявили случайно, во время проф.осмотра. А до этого Хайя с полгода маялась хронической усталостью, ухудшением зрения и быстрым набором массы тела. Принцесса начиталась статей в интеренете, сама себе поставила диагноз "зоб Хашимото" и отправилась по врачам. Далее подробно описано, что и тироксин Хайя "не хочет принимать пожизненно", и глютен (категорически запрещённый при тиреоидите) продолжала есть почти год, пока помогала брату принцу Али бороться за пост президента ФИФА. Пицца, гамбургеры - они же стр-рашно вкусные, угу... ~~В общем, мне бы не хотелось лечить такую недисциплинированную пациентку, как принцесса Хайя~~.
А в общем, выздоровления ей, конечно!
