Hashimotos/Auto-immune/Thyroid?

Hi I’m new to homeopathy. I've been struggling for a year, and don't have any real quality of life. Specialists can’t figure it out. But I think I have very early stages of Hashimotos. Any feedback is appreciated, has anyone seen anything like this in their homeopathic experiences??

Ani, 28F, 5.1”, 180lb, USA, desk-job/typing

Timeline
I had the stomach flu, and influenza, back to back, last year. Afterwards I began restricting calories/dieting to lose weight and I worked out more than I was eating. That was Jan 2019-May2019. These symptoms came in June 2019. First it was just fatigue, then digestive in Oct 2019, then joints in 2020.

Physical symptoms
Suffering from extreme fatigue (worse with mental or physical exertion), weight gain (50 lbs in the last year, eating healthy vegetarian diet), joint pain (wrist, ankles, hips), joint burning sensation (knuckles, fingertips), digestive issues when eating food, no pattern with the food, some days the same food is fine, other days it causes issues, night or day doesn't make a difference (nausea, acid reflux type, burping eases it, bloating, constipation, but still is somewhat loose when I finally go), ear problems (tinnitus), mucous in throat constant, sore throat comes and goes, headaches (mostly when it rains).

Menstrual cycle is heavy, but regular each month. Breast tenderness and moodiness before the period.

Mental symptoms
Mental suffering includes anxiety, chest pain, like I can’t breathe when I get anxiety. It’s associated with emotional troubles with family, thoughts of my future. I don’t feel depressed but my doctors are too eager to call it that and give me pills. ECG report said heart is fine.

Bloodwork
High sensitivity CRP was high, signalling all over inflammation, thyroid antibodies high but normal TSH, T4, etc. ESR also high, white blood cell count is high too. Tested positive for hep A, but my doctor said it could be a past infection?

Patterns
Weather doesn’t change how I feel, but since gaining weight I can withstand cold weather more. So I crave that because I’m running hot. Symptoms are non-stop. Mental/physical exertion makes it worse. Resting somewhat alleviates it. No pattern in terms of what time of day symptoms are better/worse. I usually crave sweet foods to comfort myself. Light sleeper, curled in fetal position. Because of the nausea hunger is less, but on good days, it's normal. Thirst has been less all around.

Family
My mother has hypothyroidism, and father has high blood pressure. Grandmother had diabetes. But other than that, nothing too huge.

Specialists
Internist said depression/chronic fatigue syndrome. Rheumatologist said fybromaliga. Endocrinologist said thyroid disease in the future maybe, but not now.

Anyone have any homeopathic related thoughts?

Thank you so much for the response! I Googled everything you advised for a better understanding, but can you please advise/guess what you think the issue is? Like a thyroid issue? Or autoimmune? Or something else??

Dear Wildtoes80:

Blessings.

Keep working with your current Homeopathy adviser.

I will suggest few general tips:
[My blessed Wife has same problem!]

1. Start using Iodized salt.
2. Eat Kelp, sold by Costco as "Cooked Seaweed". These wafers are sea vegetables with lots of Iodine.
3. Keep monitoring your Thyroid level, by your MD.
4. Eat Walnuts: have high content of Iodine, also serotonin to stabilize mood.
5. Stand on shoulders twice a day to get more blood circulation to the neck or thyroid area.
6. Eat more spinach,cabbage, sesame seeds, holy basil (Marua), and Radish.

Blessings,

Paul C.
