I'm 17 weeks 2 days pregnant and experiencing severe stiff neck pain, making me immobile and causing discomfort in sleeping, moving, and taking deep breaths. I've been using hot/cold compresses and plan to see a chiropractor. My prenatal vitamin contains 200mg of magnesium as magnesium oxide. Should I take a magnesium supplement, and if so, what form and dosage?

I am experiencing chronic intestinal issues, weight loss, chronic diarrhea, chronic anemia, low white blood cells, hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's), myopathy affecting my eyes and ability to walk, muscle spasms, ocular manifestations, loss of vision in one eye, and unusual muscle sensations. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy 6 years ago that showed chronic atrophic ileitis and duodenitis, but the results were never interpreted. I have a high genetic probability of celiac disease but have never tested positive in blood tests. What could be causing these issues and what steps should I take?
