Well that specific information was from:
http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles.htm
in the section titled: "Thyroid-Related Symptoms & Conditions."That site seems a little cheezy with all the ads on the home page. Here are a couple links that are for medical people. (I understand about every sixth sentence.)
http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic57.htm
http://www.emedicine.com/NEURO/topic125.htmOr, you can just google "hyperthyroid" or "hypothyroid" and the word, "myopathy" (or "myopathies") and you'll get a pile of links. I didn't know the word myopathy until yesterday.
Whatever the reason, stopping the thyroid tablets has eased up my pain a great deal. If my theory is correct, I overshot and became more and more hyperthyroid. I plan to go back on it at a lower dose. The doctor I saw was a little odd and gave me a six months supply... without any retesting. I just thank god for the internet.
Later, River.
