autoimmune thyroid and tmd(j)

Okay, i dont know where to start but I recently got diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid and more recently TMD. with the autoimmune thyroid, the doctor said it would take 8-18 months to get it just to hypo thyroid which I had before and was short lived. I was also put on a wheat free diet because he said the autoimmune thyroid and the wheat was causing inflammation which is in my brain (forgot to mention that earlier). I need help and advice, I have so much pain and so much going on all at once. my jaw hurts and I know that is from the TMD because the disk is jammed, but I am having soooo much pain in my throat and in my neck along with headaches (also with chronic migraines and taking meds for that), my throat is swollen but no goiter or anything just swollen and it makes it hard to breathe at night when I am laying down. I just dont know if it is a combination of things or if the autoimmune thyroid can cause that much pain.

thanks
