FIbromyalgia

[Sylvia22]

I suffer from Fibromyalgia on and off. At the moment I have pains in various parts of my body. Have slight pain and soreness on and off in my stomach area can Fibromyalgia cause this?

[greygoose]

Have you had your thyroid tested?

[Sylvia22 in reply to greygoose]

Yes. I have Hashimotos diagnosed in 1998. On Levothyroxine.

[greygoose in reply to Sylvia22]

Then it's more likely to be your hypo causing the stomach problems. Are you adequately medicated?

[Sylvia22 in reply to greygoose]

No. Endo reduced my Levothyroxine by 12.5mcg 4 months ago due to having surpressed TSH. I have argued long and hard to no avail.

[greygoose in reply to Sylvia22]

Then that's probably the problem. Can you see a different endo? Or self-treat.

[Sylvia22 in reply to greygoose]

Probably not as Ihave already seen two. He said they would not reduce it any more but will not let me put it back to 125mcg a day. Is there anything else which would make up for the gap?

[greygoose in reply to Sylvia22]

Not having seen your labs, I can't say. But, you can only replace a hormone with a hormone. So, if he's refusing to increase your dose, he's condemning you to a miserable life. Personally, I wouldn't stand for it.

I feel my body hurts more if I eat gluten (accidently as I have been off it for quite a while). Also selenium daily helps. Hope you feel better soon. Stomach issues are common with Hashimotos x

[Sylvia22 in reply to Hidden]

I did wonder about that as I have been virtually Gluten free for almost 2 yrs

[Hidden in reply to Sylvia22]

it has a massive impact on me, it happened last week, so maybe youve accidently had it. have you tried an elimination diet? or the aip diet to figure out if you are reacting to anything you are eating? x

[Sylvia22 in reply to Hidden]

No haven't tried that.
