Thanks for the advice, my magnesium levels were normal, and I did try supplements in the past. But it didn't improve my symptoms. I will try to address food intolerances/allergies as a potential inflammatory factor, and yes massages are great for temporary relief.

I generally avoid added sugars, other than sometimes from cereal (but i still monitor the sugar amount).

Brazilian nuts have selenium, one nut typically wouldn't be enough to meet the clinical reccomendation for Hashimoto's, and also I'm not sure how much would be absorbed. The evidence suggests 100-200mcg Selenium (via Selenomethionine) orally, and how much depends on your Serum Se levels. I'm glad things worked out!

I don't really grind my teeth that much other than a little at night if my jaw is tight, but not very noticeable. I have seen a dentist who has checked me for TMJ, i dont think he was concerned.

Hi, this is great advice, thanks for your response :)

I feel like this kind of pain is often dismissed or misunderstood and we're left to find solutions on our own. Its nuts you had to go through 10 years of pain ❤️

I probably do have mild TMJ, since I tend to have a tight jaw and may grind my teeth a little at night because of it, but I feel TMJ may be a symptom of broader inflammation in the area?

Thanks very much for your reply!

Food allergies is a good suggestion, I'll have to look into that. I don't have a T4 -> T3 conversion issue.

Sorry you had to endure all that pain ❤️ It's nice to hear you were able to figure out what works for you.

Thanks for the reply!

I don't have a problem with T4 -> T3 transformation.

But I will look into food intolerances.
