I have hypothyroidism and there is a link between it and fibro as well as chronic fatigue disorder

Mine had to be removed it was so diseased before it was checked, and honestly I am one of the lucky ones because I had a Dr. that new to check. It was within 10 years of my diagnosis my Thyroid was removed and I was asymptomatic it got picked up on during a GI check while I was being scoped.

@thyroid yes I have my thyroid levels checked and see an endocrinologist. I had hypothyroidism for 20 yrs and then was diagnosed with thyroid cancer so the FM has gotten much worse since then. Symptoms are different for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism so the first thing you need to know is which one you actually have.If you're in the low range you're likely hypo, once you start taking meds like levothyroxine it takes a while to get the levels right. Sometimes levels look right but symptoms still persist so meds nd to be altered even Dr. will insist levels are ok. Good luck and gentle hug.

@A MyFibroTeam Member was there a particular brand you purchased that helped? I suffer through weight gain, hair falling out, swelled tongue, all part of hypothyroid. I would like to try your suggestion.
