Hi,
Yes, Hashimoto's can contribute to a compulsive behavior, and here's why.
Hashimoto's can express itself in many forms in many people. With Hashimoto's a person's thyroid cells are breaking apart and when they break apart the contents of these thyroid cells spill out into the area surrounding the thyroid.
These contents include the enzyme Thyroperoxidase and the protein Thyroglobulin. This is the reason why we have antibodies to the enzyme called TPO or Thyroperoxidase antibody and the TGA or Anti-thyroglobulin antibody.
But what about the thyroid hormones that are released? These add onto whatever thyroid hormones are already circulating in the blood stream, what your thyroid has produced as well as those from a thyroid prescription if you are taking one.
So this spilling of thyroid contents adds on more thyroid hormones with the person experiencing the inability to be still, or relaxed or mentally focused. And a person can feel this way for a week or longer because the primary thyroid hormone called Thyroxine or T4 has a half life of 7 days.
This means that half the Thyroxine that is secreted today will still be around in a week.
I hope this adds some clarity to why you can feel obsessed, or that you can't relax, with Hashimoto's.
