I've just come across this community whilst searching online for answers.
I have chronic lower calf pain, fatigue, I bruise very easily and I am in pain for days after the slightest bump. I sometimes have muscle spasms. My last pregnancy was painful, my muscles felt like they were my enemy, my baby was born at 31 weeks gestation, I had pre-eclampsia and a placenta erupted. These all point towards thyroid problem.
What tests should I ask my gp to do? I have had my bloods tested before and the main find from that was that I was anaemic.
I want to have another child but I want to be healthy enough to carry to full term.
Thank you guys

I also have constipation. Migraines. And it'seems so difficult for me to lose weight, I can be on a strict diet and exercise and loose no weightrim whatsoever. I have two family membersupport who have diagnosed underactive thyroid, hence why I looked in to it. The muscle pain in my calf's is the biggest frustration as it's constant.
I have read the pregnancy complications are connected to the thyroid.
I will ask the doctor to test these things. Thank you!
