Hi. What blood tests have you had done?

If you have multiple health issues, you could have other undiagnosed conditions as well as Fibromyalgia.

Ask about what Antibodies tests you've had done and what has been eliminated.

Take a look on Thyroid UK website at the list of symptoms of Underactive Thyroid, see how many you have.

Ask about having the following blood tests :

TPO and Tg (Thyroid Antibodies )

TSH, Free T3 & Free T4

Vitamin D levels & Calcium

B12 & Folate

Ferritin.

You may have some nutrients deficiencies you are not aware of. If so, once diagnosed and treated you may find some symptoms relieved.

Do you have IBS or IBD? Any digestive tract issues?

Hi Tolu, I am sorry you suffer with fibro amongst other things but at least you have found your way to us. I am sure you will find lots of help and support from our friendly members and there is also plenty of useful information and links on our main site so you may like to take a look at this:

Also I notice you haven’t locked your post. You don't have to do this but you are likely to receive more replies if you do as many of our members are not keen on responding to unlocked ones, as they can be accessed by people outside the community. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the link below but if you get stuck please don’t hesitate to ask for help.

So welcome to the forum, I look forward to seeing you around. Take care. x

Thanks. This condition/ilness is debilitating and l look okay on the outside. It makes people doubt you when you say you are in pain. Their reaction does not bother me anymore anyway. Glad to know that l am not alone.
