Anyone else have fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism?
Does anyone else have fibro and hypo? I was diagnosed with fibro 15 months ago and hypo 3 months ago. Wonder what I’ll be diagnosed with next.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Fibromyalgia Support Group.
Kellee53, I've had fibro for 30 years and was diagnosed with Hashitmotos Thyroiditis in 2017 and then a wrong
diagnosis of Graves Disease 2 years ago. It was switched to Subclinical Hyperthyroidism. I do believe greatly
that Thyroid disease and Fibro go hand in hand.
The jury is still out about Fibro being an autoimmune disease. Personally, I believe it is. If you have one
autoimmune disease, you are prone to have more.
You may have to play around with the thyroid meds to get the "right fit" for you. I take Methimazole 5 mg.
It has helped greatly.
Blessings & Prayers to you as I empathize.
I have both
@9yearspast Hi. Have you found anything that helps?
@covidstinks2023
You & I are on the same page... totally agree with what you have said! Tomorrow, I will be 77 & my autoimmune history began with Graves Disease at age 40. I was treated & then went into remission, however; soon after Graves Eye Disease appeared. Since then, SJOGREN'S Disease (the worst), Raynaud's Disease, Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy, & Fibro & Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Yes, it all started with Thyroid Disease! Wishing strength & Peace to all!
Sorry, Kellee53, I forgot to include you in my response, as I do have both Fibro & Hypothyroidism. Hopefully you will see my post. What I failed to mention is that what helps me (overall) is Lyrica. This med also helps me with anxiety. Peace & strength!
@h16027 Thank you. I forgot to mention, I have Raynaud's Disease as well. Bless you
for your kind words. Blessings & Prayers.
I do , I take levo thyroxin for hypothyroidism for fibromyalgia I have been on lyrics too. I have sciatica and the pain never seems to go
@lakshmivivek I take them as well and agree the pain never seems to go.
@covidstinks2023 That’s a lot to deal with every day. Blessing and Prayers.
@h16027 Peace and strength to you as well.
