I can't get rid of this symptom since 4 years now. I tried all dosages, from low to very high (T3 only and T4 + T3). But it doesnt get better, sometimes even worse.

I also tried NAC, which is recommended here for these mucin deposits. Didnt work.

How do you know it's mucin deposits and not an allergy?

it got confirmed by doctors. Also I had myxedema on my cheeks and eyelids.

Hi. I'm sorry it didn't work for you. It's been said it takes at leas 6 months per area to disappear completely so not sure if you waited all that amount of time to come to conclusions. Also, serrapeptase is also reported to help with that. I tried a bottle but for another protocol.

Not what you're looking for?
