I wish I could say that my autoimmune doesn't interfere with my exercise, but the myalgia makes it difficult to move or is exacerbated by exercise in recent years. It is related to my Hashimoto's because my numbers do not stay consistent. Avocados are actually good for you with good fats. I exercise as much as my body will allow. I am glad you are able to. Tried yoga again after a few years and it aggravates tendons and muscles, not joints. I tried the Stretch Zone for over a year, and it helped some areas, but aggravated the tendons. Acupuncture, Dry Needling, Myofascial Trigger Point therapy, red light therapy, herbals, vitamins all have not really helped. I still move and do YouTube dance and walk videos as much as I can. Forget weights. I am maintaining for now.

I also have Hashimotos and the same problems. My tsh is always on the low side. I take 126 levothyroxine. My last number was .579 still normal but low. How does yours run?

sounds like you've done mostly everything I have! Botox helped me quite a bit, trigger points and even cortisone. I hope you tried a variety of MFR peeps. I use a guy who doesn't take insurance but it is well worth it for the relief he gives. I tried several. Also, my heating pad and I are best friends for 35 years.
I went through a period of getting tendinitis and having connective tissue pain everywhere. Thank god it stopped. Have you tried Bioidentical Hlormone replacement therapy? I went into menopause early. So I was on for 10 years. Off for 10 years and now back on and it helps with a lot of things. Also I figured out I had gout (not my dang doctors!) after 30 years and the Allopurinol was a godsend. My joints moved again! And finally two days ago i asked to be put on medicine for prediabetes. I stopped being able to control my A1C with diet. I was lightheaded and STARVING all the time! I went on Metformin which has no consequences and it was 100% AMAZING even for my overall joints/OA/Gout -- I feel like someone just goosed and greased my movement. My fatigue dropped. Only a couple days but another miracle step for me. I have a couple of neighbors who wouldn't let the doctor remove their thyroid and they overcame their problems with walking (hyperthyroidism but not Hashimoto). I am about to start some strength training because I have lost all of my muscle tone (its scary!) and then you get connective tissue pain because the muscles glue together and tug on the connective tissue. I never say die! Good luck!
