Phillipa and Maxine,
I was thinking perimenopause (fsh test), or ms (if ms flares or has pain symptoms). Thyroid, too. Recently a rheumy told me that my hashimoto's was adequately treated because on paper it looks good (last tsh test was .94), yet every single symptom I have falls under hashimoto's. Such a common disease, yet I suspect there is no real treatment unless the thyroid was removed. The same rhuemy told me not to fall into the
t3 trap out of desperation. I've had a crash course in doctors this past year, and I pretty much filed his advice under 'whatever'. I think my new gp will write a compound script of t4 and slow release t3. Slow release t3 is key for me. I spun out on it once.Doesn't sound like fibro to me. But fatigue can cause pain. Years of depression and sleep deprivation lead to fatigue, not to mention the major life stressors you've dealt with the past 18 months.
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
