Shanna, as always, I really appreciate your thoughts. I have found that connecting with people in addition to my husband, even if I just ask for prayers helps me. I am in a flare right now and I am very encouraged by your thoughts. Sometimes I get down because I don't get to do what I want to do or think I need to do. I try to remember that my thoughts and the way I treat others when I am in pain is more important to God than my checklist.
Hi Megan, I so appreciate you sharing your experience and thoughts. I so related, and I LOVE what you said "I try to remember that my thoughts and the way I treat others when I am in pain is more important to God than my checklist." So beautiful! Sending you so much love and support as you navigate this flare. I know how hard it is, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You got this! ❤️❤️❤️
I plan on making these tips into a feature page in my beloved daily Bullet Journal. They’re so good. When I start to flare I go into protection mode. I treat myself like I would a best friend.
I LOVE that Leslie! I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. I love that you treat yourself as you would a best friend! I was on a group coaching call earlier today, and I literally said the same thing! It's so important ❤️
One thing I do not understand is how a person can live with Hashimoto’s symptoms for so long and not know what is going on I mean I have very high thyroid peroxidase antibodies so I have Hashimoto’s and for the past four months my life has been well I don’t like to compare anything to hell, but it has been Unbelievably beyond difficult. The fatigue, the headaches every day from the moment I’m awake until I go to sleep brain fog, the lightheadedness every single day. I don’t see how anyone can go so long without knowing. My father is a gastroenterologist, and he really does not feel that my Hashimoto’s is causing all my symptoms, but I’m not so sure. It feels like I have been in a flare for 4 months now. Been running to every specialist to rule out other things. It’s been quite a battle to say the least. And right now I am stuck with this diagnosis of Hashimoto’s and all the symptoms. It has completely wrecked my life. My quality of life is zero, I cannot work. I cannot function, and it’s just does not seem like there is any help out there so thank you so much for your video sweetie and God bless you. ❤
Thank You Shanna for this video I have been on AIP for 12 months, looking back I have been suffering from Hashimoto's for a lot longer, no one helped Me until 12 mo. ago when I was diagnosed, I have been trying to follow AIP since then. I have had flares over the summer and have been depressed and angry. Your video has encouraged Me to keep trying also thank You for sharing Your faith I know that I can keep on working and depending on My Saviour to guide Me.
Finally seeing results after 5 weeks of being on AIP diet, finally a week without hives!!!🎊🎉 Will have to see if the hives will stay away, but I am super happy at this point. Thanks for being such an inspiration and help us with Hashimoto. Hope your doing well.
Yay!!! I'm so excited to hear that Danielle! You're so welcome, and congrats on your incredible hard work paying off! Keep me posted if you think about it. Sending you lots of love and support!
Im having a flare of Graves thats lasted nearly a year now. Ind9 eat better and take vetter care if myself than anyone i know. I feel so defeated. Im on meds and they have made me gane 20lbs. After working so hard to be well its heartbreaking.
I explain my "cranky" as losing patients. I'm less tolerate of the smallest thing. That's when lean on my faith to remind me that I am given all the strength that I need, I just need to draw upon it. 💖🌞🌵😷
This was so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I am about 2 months post diagnosis of hashimotos, and it feels so good to know I’m not alone. Hugs!
Thank you for this video! Your timing is perfect. I've been struggling today. My daughter, with down syndrome and non verbal, and I have had our first flare in January. We found we have been living in mold when I decided we should pull the carpet to remove any allergens and go to solid flooring. We've been living with my parents while remediation is being done. Both of us seem to be having waves of depression the last few days. It's been a challenge to get nutrient dense for because of a string histamine response and other food intolerances that have surfaced. Praying for guidance and doing my best to keep our spirits up. Thank you for these 12 ideas. ❤
You're welcome, Melissa! My heart is with you, and I am sending you so much love and support! That's such a hard situation, but I'm so glad you found the mold and are taking the steps you need to feel better. BIG, BIG hugs! If you think about it, keep me posted!
Also, I have lots of free resources on my website shannanemrow.com and also offer group coaching programs, group support programs, and one on one coaching if you are ever interested down the line. ❤️
Wonderful tips, and some of them I have done a lot because of listening to your video. The viewpoint aspects pertaining to the Lord and faith are powerful, indeed. I gain great strength by following them.
This was sooo helpful! I felt so validated and heard and understood. It is really hard and it's even harder when you feel alone. So thank you very much for making this video. Also I love how much you love slow dancing with your husband...that is soo sweet!
Thank you for this advise. I just think that...no matter how you feel..never give up. Just keep eating good things for your body. And it’s all in your attitude, and because of your faith....you have an awesome attitude! 😀 I love watching The Office too. Anything that is silly, funny. It goes help. 😊
My mind feels better than three weeks ago when I ditched gluten, dairy, sugar and nightshade vegetables, but now my hives are out of control, have been taking Zyrtec twice a day + tylenol once in the morning and then benadryl at night and still the hives persist. I have to say I'm pretty miserable 😖 and hating my body 🙁😔, for putting me through this. I'm hoping it will get better, but for now I'm just angry and frustrated 😣😔🙁
When I quit gluten I got Dermatitis herpetiformis for one whole year - I wonder if you could have that? Or could be if you are eating rice or corn .? Sometimes I get really itchy from gf bread and the local gf bakery bread does that to me. It’s a constant battle and struggle - good luck ! I need to give up sugar - already gave up gluten .. dairy.. soy ... white potatoes ...
Can anti depressants treatment help in hashimoto thyroiditis depression?I have bad insomnia I can't sleep day and night I just walking walking in the room I can't even sit on a second I don't know is it flares up I heart alot that hashimoto thyroiditis make more Sleepy but I don't know if I have more problems too I am not able to do anything in home is it normal I have not that much information?
How do I know I have a flare up ? I have hypothyroidism hashimoto and I don’t have symptoms. I have ton of energy ,sleep well ,my weight is normal etc. So I been trying the AIP for 2 months already and I want to reintroduce maybe quinoa or beans or at least nuts. But how do I know when something affects if I didn’t have any symptom from the beginning. ?
Hi there! This is just me sharing my story and my faith. I do personally know a couple of atheists who have improved their health as well. But I share my experience here on my channel, and along with that is my faith. I share many nutrition and lifestyle aspects unrelated to faith as well. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in the same boat or close to it as an agnostic. I think you can still have faith in yourself though even if you don’t believe in a higher power. I know for me I am in a flare right now and I hate it but I can see that I have been through this before and have faith in myself that I will get through it since I have before many times.
What are your autoimmune flare mindset tips? What helps you stay positive or find joy during a flare?

You're welcome, and yes! So important to never give up. To realize all the little things add up. Sometimes there's setbacks and that's okay. ❤️
Thank you for sharing! It was a joyful reminder and things to keep in mind going forward.
You're welcome Laura! I'm so glad it's helpful! ❤️❤️ Flares are so hard, but there's ways to reset our mindset.
Needed this today. Hopefully come out of an and ankylosing spondylitis flare. Makes me so mad. It's so hard on our families.
My heart is with you Ruth! So glad this video felt supportive. Sending you lots of love and support and prayers!

Have not been eating any rice or corn. I'm hoping once my body settles down, I may try eating rice and corn again.
I'm wondering if it my be just because my body is going through a state of withdrawal, it's having the immune reaction 🤷
Good luck, I know how frustrating it is...
Hi Danielle, just read your other comment that you are doing better, so happy to hear of your progress!

But how do I know when something affects if I didn’t have any symptom from the beginning.
?
I am having a problem finding a probiotic. Do you have any suggestions?
I keep seeing comments about faith. So how about for an athiest?
Hi there! This is just me sharing my story and my faith. I do personally know a couple of atheists who have improved their health as well. But I share my experience here on my channel, and along with that is my faith. I share many nutrition and lifestyle aspects unrelated to faith as well. ❤️❤️❤️
@@ShannaNemrow makes sense keep going 🙂
@@noriginal2546 Thank you!

So you haven’t cured your autoimmune disease? So you cut sugar out?
