question: My son has Hashimoto's Tyroiditis.  Has been sick since March '10.  I believe he has progressed to Hashimoto's encephalopathy.  He has now had two stroke like episodes along with the whole list of symptoms for HE except for acoma.  His autoantibodies >3000 and TPO >1000. I do realize how rare this disease is but he fits everything about this.  Gotten no where with present doctors and he is only getting worse.  Any suggestions?
