RA and Thyroid

[kkminton]

My thyroid and testosterone levels plummeted.

Anyone else experience this?

Now I have to go on meds for this too as I am so tired all the time.

Hopefully this will help? Then I can get back to walking!

Hi KKminton,

auto-immune disorders often cluster so I believe many people on here will have both. I only have the thyroid problems but found the thyroxine made a huge difference to me.

I have had Thyoid Failure (Hashimoto's for over 30 years its really not a lot to worry about the medication is taken daily and it works well. You have to take it because thyroid failure puts pressure on nearly everything in the body and its like being a doormouse going into hibernation really. But once on medications life returns to normal so please try not to worry. I lead a normal life still ramble and honestly don't worry. x
