Hashimoto and pain all over the body

[Frenchee2019]

Did it ever happen to you to have pain all over the body?

Can you explain where, and how it feels, how many days it last?

What over the counter medication do you take?

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

When did you last get FULL thyroid and vitamin testing done

Just testing TSH is completely inadequate

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change or brand change in levothyroxine

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested.

Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once year minimum

Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water

This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)

What are your latest blood test results? You sound as though you could be under medicated. I had terrible pain all over my body especially in joint areas when I was under medicated. Nothing would relieve it unfortunately. Only thing was getting my thyroid levels optimal.

I get pain all over my legs and for that best thing is ibuprofen / paracetamol alternating every few hours but I guess best thing is to get T3 and t4 sufficiently high in range most symptoms abate.
