I have had Hashimotos (hypothyroidism) for over 20 years and have had some success in treatment...however, last year I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and with some effective treatment, have been good until this week. I was in the process of changing/titrating my thyroid supplements and now, with a flare up of Fibro symptoms, I'm having trouble distinguishing between is it thyroid or Fibro? I live in a relatively limited small community and am working with a PA on my thyroid issues; Changed from Armour to Levothyroxine and Cytomel. In the process of adjusting the Cytomel. Anyone have any experience with this yucky combination of issues with success and how to differentiate in order to treat?
I don't recall having any additional pain from hypothyroidism. I have no problem telling the difference .Time taught me how to tell the difference. It will teach you too. I hope your pain goes down. BTW, there are people here more knowledgeable than me. I'm still learning about fibro myself. You have definitely come to the right place. Hugs, Dianna
