Hello. I joined this group to get some info on fibromyalgia. I have hypothyroidism and now I am really starting to wonder if I also have fibromyalgia. I know that many have both. I have different symptoms but a lot of them can be caused by hypothyroidism. The main symptom I have that is making me begin to wonder is the pain. I have begun to notice more and more aches and pain without cause. Getting up in the morning has been difficult. I looked up some info on the web and seen a chart with 18 tender points of people suffeing with fibromyalgia and I have noticed in the past couple of months I have had unexplained pain in most of them. Mostly I notice pain in my neck and shoulders, my knees and hips. My elbows have not had a lot of pain, but once in a while I do feel a bit there too. I really hope that I do not have fibromyalgia, living with hypothyroid sucks hugely enough, but if I do have it, I want to know.

What do you all think? Should I approach my Doctor about this? Do you think that I may have it?

I also have painful periods, headaches, memory trouble, a tiny bit of bladder issues, to name a few more symptoms but like I said, a lot of these are also common for hypo. Any help and advise would be so much appreciated.
