These are the 6 stages of Hashimoto's thyroiditis that every patient with Hashi's will go through.

There are no fewer than 6 stages of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and where you fit on these stages matters because it impacts what type of therapies and treatments will work best for you.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease characterized by self-destruction of the thyroid gland by the immune system. This destruction takes place over decades but there may be ways to slow or stop the destruction if it's caught early enough.

Each person with Hashimoto's thyroiditis will process through certain stages. These stages proceed in every patient with Hashimoto's as the disease gets worse and as more and more damage accumulates.

Learn more about these stages, what they mean for you, what happens to your lab tests at each stage, and how these stages impact treatment options available to you.

As you go through these stages try to find out where you fit and share your comments/questions below!
