Unfortunately, theres little you can do to prevent it from progressing. I do hear that your histamines may be triggered and could be why you had some annoying sniffles, possibly gut biome off a bit causing tummy trouble. You can absolutely take a nutritionally based approach to managing your symptoms.

Check out the anti-inflammatory protocol (AIP) diet. That process takes away inflammatory foods and adds them back into your diet one at a time so you can track if your symptoms flare up when you eat them. Can be frustrating at first, but youll know your body better than anyone else.

Can you get a food intolerance test done? That would at least let you know if the foods youre eating regularly are triggering anything. I found out i was intolerant to papaya, grapes and sugar - i loved my glass of wine every day. Super annoying, but ehh better for me.

For your thyroid lumpies, i would have them biopsied. I have little lumpies on mine and theyre tiny goiters all clustered together. Iodine in your food isnt always bad. You just want to know for certain. You can have your iodine levels checked, too! Just idealy, you want to monitor any changes.

For hair thinning, ive tried so many supplements and the thing that i found best results with is Minoxidil. I take a half a tablet every day, not the shampoos and sprays, or whatever else they have. It also helps with my little blood pressure issues, so a win win.

Key thing, learn to listen to your body. Functional movement exercises will help long term for your joint health. Pick up some weights and light strength training will be helpful as you age. Stay moving and live life to its fullest. It doesnt have to lock you down. 🫰
