Have you had your 'thyroid bloods' checked Louiseamos ?

The symptoms of Fibro/MS that you mention are also thyroid symptoms, (hypothyroidism,) or even a B12 Deficiency or both. I recognize your symptoms as I too had them.

Has your Doctor done any of these blood tests already ? (see below,) If not, it might be an idea to ask for them.

Ask for a paper 'print out' of your last bloods (or new bloods) and 'their ranges' and post them up on here or on the Thyroid Uk site which is also on Health Unlocked for member's to read. Don't be fobbed off if your Doctor says your bloods are all OK and/or 'within range,' because even though your bloods are reading 'within range' you are actually not OK as you have all your symptoms. Thyroid blood tests are known to be 'not' accurate and people often fall through the net, leaving them with terrible symptoms, yet no treatment as their 'bloods' are showing they have nothing wrong with them.

Adding I had sciatica and tailbone pain and was also found to be vitamin D deficient, it was by chance I found out that vitamin D3 cured my Tailbone pain and Sciatica, but not on the dose my Doctor prescribed.(Not saying D3 will heal both yours as you mentioned you have discs out.)

PM me if you need to Louiseamos.

Good luck.

When you go to your appointment on the 5th louiseamos remember to ask for a full thyroid and vitamins test too. (The blood tests I listed for you.)

I had Fibromyalgia and CFS pains (chronic bone, joint, hips and leg pains, pins and needles in hands and fingers, electric shocks every few minutes all over, sciatica, tiredness, brain fog, dry skin, coldness etc., but once given thyroid replacement pills my all over pains, brain fog etc., just dropped away within a couple of days, it was most unbelievable.

Fibromyalgia/Ms and CFS can sometimes be just 'under diagnosed' or 'under treated' hypothyroidism, also known as an 'under-active thyroid.'

You need to put 'your story' out on - Health Unlocked's - ('Thyroid UK' ) louiseamos,

(go up to My Communities above on the green bar, if you don't already know.)

Thyroid UK has stories like yours everyday, people with thyroid problems and/or with CFS (Cronic fatigue Syndrome,) ME and Fibromyalgia and many are learning how to either cure themselves or cure themselves with the help of their Doctors and how to go about it and which bloods to ask for and how to understand your blood results also.

Chronic Fatigue (CFS,) ME and Fibro are mostly Thyroid connected due to the bloods reading 'within range' so Doctors think there is nothing wrong with you, yet you are still left with all your awful symptoms. Members on TUK learn how to get ourselves over the next hurdles of getting ourselves well again, even if the Doctors loose interest. You can easily go round in circles not getting anywhere.

Do take a peek at 'Thyroid UK' on Health Unlocked louiseamos, you have nothing to loose.

Also look on the Thyroid UK's own website 'Thyroid UK' where there are good explanations about why Thyroid, CFs, ME and Fibro Patients get missed by their blood results and then dismissed by Doctors and what to do about it to get yourself well again.
