Uncomfortable Hashi flare

[Paula101]

Hope this might be of help to people.

Had a very uncomfortable Hashi Flare about 6pm tonight. Tight throat, thyroid gland feeling swollen, uncomfortable to swallow, deep tiredness, nauseous.

Sometime after took my evening dose of Magnesium Glycinate & it's actually helped to calm symptoms. That was a welcome surprise 🙂

Thanks, Paula. I've been having those symptoms for weeks, along with lots of joint and muscular pain. Have had some blood tests at the GP and have been called back. The nausea for me is the most worrying thing: I'd put the rest down to Hashi's, so it's interesting to learn that that too can be accounted for with our wonderfully versatile condition! Will check out the glycinate. ☺

Your welcome DandyThyro 🙂I can recommend Better You Magnesium Oil & their gel for joint & muscular pain. I apply it on a daily basis. Remember get your results off your GP, (you are legally entitled to these under the data protection act & get them printed off as mistakes can made if given verbally) post them on this forum (with their ranges) & people can advise you. The Glycinate also supports cardiometabolic, neurocognitive & musculoskeletal health. Good luck at the doc's 👍🏻

Where do you get your magnesium from

[Paula101 in reply to siannie]

I got mine from Amazon. It's Pure Encapsulations Glycinate. It's gluten free, non GMO. Ingredients listed as:- vegetable capsule (cellulose, water) ascorbyl palmitate. My body appears to be happy with them thus far.

Thank you .

Do you also get the magnesium glycite from there too ? Do you also take Vit B12 ?

I’ve been taking some for 4 years but my blood test last week states I’m borderline - might explain why I feel so ill😱

[Paula101 in reply to siannie]

Sorry, yes, I got the Glycinate from Amazon. I do take take B12, in a spray by Better You (as I'm Hashi's with leaky gut) along with B complex by Thorne, to balance all the B's. I'm on all sorts but feeling much better for it.

What are the results of your tests?

[siannie in reply to Paula101]

I don’t know yet as I rang up and of course they (reception) won’t tell me . Will ask her tomorrow ?

I’ve asked for full access to my notes so hopefully once I get that I can see all my results .

Will see what gp says tomorrow ( I have a phone call consultation !!) whenever she’s free . If she doesn’t recommend anything I will start with b complex aswell

Thanks again

[Paula101 in reply to siannie]

Ok then. It's best the receptionist doesn't tell you over the phone as she's likely to make a mistake. Yes, a paper copy is wise as you can't argue with black & white. Post them & then we can see what you need to do. Good luck with the GP 👍🏻

[siannie in reply to Paula101]

Thanks . Will do

[Paula101 in reply to siannie]

Sorry I know it's late but if your results show low folate then you'll need a b complex with 400 mcg folate. But as I say, see what results reveal first.

Oh fab . Thanks .
