If you feel Hashimoto’s is causing poor brain health, you can run some tests to screen for brain autoimmunity. It’s not uncommon for Hashimoto’s patients to have secondary autoimmune conditions, including to brain and nervous tissue.
Brain symptoms sometimes stem from low thyroid activity or chronic inflammation. Other times, they arise from autoimmune attacks against brain tissue.
The Cyrex Labs Neurological Autoimmune Reactivity Screen Cyrex Array 7 screens for potential autoimmune reactions in the brain and other nerve tissue.

This also means that a food sensitivity can significantly accelerate this process. It’s important to determine which foods or chemicals trigger symptoms and avoid them.
