Suggest Treatment For Hashimoto's Tyroiditis

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?

Child initially requires treatment of encephalopathy in best possible way. Treatment will be on the basis of severity of stmptoms. Thyroid level should be within normal range.
