First off, dealing with GERD, subclinical hypothyroidism, and joint pains all together can be quite a challenge. For GERD, try focusing on your diet and eating habits. Don’t lie down right after meals, keep meals small and simple. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried food; they make it worse. Include amla (Indian gooseberry) in your diet; it’s pretty good for pitta dosha, which is often imbalanced in GERD.
Now, for the hypo-thyroid situation, a key thing to check is supporting your body’s metabolism. Consider warm foods and spices like ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon to help boost agni (your digestive fire). Taking Ashwagandha with a glass of warm milk or water every morning might be helpful too. It assists not only with thyroid balance but also with joint pain. Make sure you’re getting enough fiber, maybe try triphala at night to keep your digestion moving smoothly.
That full body itching could be a sign of toxins or ama in your system due to imbalance. Dry brushing before a shower could help, it stimulates blood circulation and removes dead skin. Followed by abhyanga (a self-massage) with warm sesame oil can also soothe skin and joints. It’s quite relaxing!
Stay hydrated, but avoid cold drinks — go for room temp water or lukewarm. Lemon water with a pinch of rock salt in the mornings can be great too.
Pranayama, especially Ujjayi breathing, can calm your mind and help with stress, which often makes symptoms worse. Try bringing in some yoga, stretches can aid the joints and help maintain flexibility.
Since you had a cholecystectomy, pay close attention to your body’s response to fats. Maybe stick with light oils like olive or sunflower in moderation.
Remember, while these tips could help, always keep in touch with your healthcare providers. Make sure your thyroid levels are regularly checked. And if symptoms don’t ease or get worse, consulting a healthcare professional immediately should be your go-to. Safety and wellbeing always come first!
