Thyroid problems?
August 20th, 2010 by Wanda McCall
I have fibromyalgia, which has a lot of the same symptoms as thyroid problems. But now I’m wondering if I might have that. I have an appointment for a physical next week (but I might have to cancel it since my period is due to start by Monday) and I plan on talking to my doctor about it.
What are some of the symptoms? My friend had a problem with her thyroid and I know everyone is different, so I’d like to know what your symptoms have been.

I just wanted to mention that getting a thyroid problem diagnosed is not as simple as a blood test. Many of us with thyroid problems have “normal” blood levels, but an underlying adrenal problem (that prevents thyroid hormones from getting into the cells and tissues), or some sort of tissue resistance. I was dx'd with thyroid problems a little over a year ago by a savvy, holistic doc who recognized that my clinical “presentation” showed my thyroid was involved with my symptoms, even though my blood levels were normal. I am on thyroid hormone now, and it's starting to heal my metabolism.

Good luck!
