How is it that I can go to bed pretty relaxed and pain free and then wake up feeling like I have been in a boxing ring?

I have wondered this myself! I know FT3 has a distinct cycle and peaks during the night in a normal person. There must be a reason for this. I wondered if lacking FT3 during this peak period means that we get nocturnal aches and pains. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members will comment.

A year ago SlowDragon asked you for some results - you did not reply. Maybe knowing these these could help us to help you ... 🤔

Hi Marz, a lot has happened for me in the last year. I have not had any tests since moving home and surgery. I have just been noticing these aches and pains creeping in. I will need to book an appt with the Dr I think. Thank you for your response.

Good you are having some tests done. Come and share results if you can and everyone will be more than willing to support !

I know what you mean. I was the same this morning. 😞

The thing is it doesn't last long once I am up and about. It is just that initial getting out of bed. I feel old.

Have you got Hashimto's, I have and every day the pain is somewhere different and it is a rare and wonderful day when I am symptom free. I keep my complaints to my self at home and amongst family and friends as much as I can because I have learn't that they just think I am neurotic or a hypochondriac, and I understand it seems like that because it varies from day to day. I would laugh if it wasn't so disheartening! Thank God for sites like this where sufferers can commiserate with each other.

Same! I keep my complaints to myself as my family and friends think im a hypochondriac and neurotic also. Its very isolating.

Dr Stasha Gominak has some interesting ideas about this. She is a neurologist who uses vitamin D and B vitamins to treat sleep disorders / neurological problems. Her website is drgominak.com.

I agree, it is an interesting site, and she also has a fascinating video re sleep disorders too. I followed her advice carefully and was able sort out my sleep problems...I too would recommend it. Of course the thyroid needs to be optimally medicated too.

"Of course the thyroid needs to be optimally medicated too"

Therein lies the problem in most cases!
