Fibromyalgia is often linked to low FT3

Thank you. I read the article although I wouldn’t say I have incontinance. It feels like cystitis but with the burning when I urinate. My last blood tests showed quite good T3. I have had two episodes of very sore vagina but that isn’t so bad now.

Have you considered interstitial cystitis? I have had this and it is a chronic condition that flares up. Basically the lining of the bladder has lesions which cause the pain when the bladder fills.

I was treated firstly with a bladder distention which worked for a short time but then I had a six week course of cystistat instillations..... since then I feel normal! I can void normally and I’m not going to the loo every 5 mins. The aim is to train your bladder to hold more volume so it’s less irritated. Go caffeine free and limit alcohol... also drink 2 litres of water a day. I don’t have any symptoms now. Hope that helps.

Hi Sylvia22,

I had suffered badly with cystitis for at least 7 years and most months before I knew I had hashimotos disease and under active thyroid. I don't know if this is any help but is there a possibility that you could be on a too low dose or too high of thyroxine? I only say this as after I was diagnosed and started medication I have never had it since which is strange and unheard of for me

I hope you get it sorted soon i know how uncomfortable it is.
