Is this just my hypothyroidism?

Hi. I'm new and I have a question about my recent symptoms.  I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2004. I moved from 50 mcg to now 150 mcg before I got my synthoid right. It's been ok for the past 6 months or so. About 3 months ago I started feeling like crap again...but the symptoms are different. Lately I have the WORST joint and muscle pain. The worst pain is in my hips and it radiates down to my knees. I have headaches also. I'm very tired. I go to see my endocrinologist on Thursday (thank GOD), but I'm curious to know if you guys think this is thyroid? I felt bad before, but this is so much worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs,


Virginia

I am willing to bet its your thyroid. A lot of hypothyroid people complain of those symptoms!! I wonder where your levels are at?

Hi Virginia,


Welcome to our board.


Those symptoms could be thyroid related so it's good you're getting in to see your doctor.

Thanks ladies. I went and had my blood drawn yesterday (Monday), so I'll have my results Thursday. I hope they are off & that explains why I feel so bad. Otherwise I'm really worried!! Last time they were off my TSH level was 157!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So.....we'll see.

I'm having the exact same problems. I hurt so bad most of the time, especially in my feet and hands. I have my levels checked tomorrow. I also have an appointment in a couple of weeks to see if I may have fibromyalgia.

fibromyalgia.............


That's the exact thing I'm worried about but haven't wanted to say. My aunt has it and it scares me to death. Good luck.
