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?

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.
