Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has achy joints every now and then? (knees,ankles,arms)
Feel like your brain is cloudy and fatigued?
I have hypo - diagnosed about 20 yrs ago (when i was in the 4th grade!)

thanks,
Foxy

Thank you for your reply.

How long has your daugther been on medication?
How old is she?

Does she sometimes feel fatigued and her mind is cloudy?

ThankYou,

She had low thyroid for years without being diagnosed because they stooopidly kept testing just TSH and she has "central hypothyroidism" so TSH was meaningless.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. So, do you have all those conditions?

I know that when I have aches and pains it's usually when i've worked out too hard or didn't get enough sleep.
My doctor did say that with Hypo you do get achy joints and muscles if you're thyroid is not under control.
I'm going to see a natural Dr tomorrow who is going to put me on T4/T3 medication.

How long have you had fibromyalgia?
Are you achy all the time or just sometimes?

I hope your symptoms get better b/c noone deserves to be in such pain.
