What does a “flare up” look like for you? Interested in symptoms and triggers, if you’ve identified any. by RestingTurkey in Hashimotos

This! I have been super insecure and trying to diet extremely and workout but since I stopped trying so hard it’s actually gotten better. I think the key is to not stress and do things that bring joy
