Re:Another Fibro resource

[Guest guest]

Another group i'm in claim that Fibro is just undiagnosed Hypothyroidism. Does

anyone have any comments on this? I'm only asking as i have no idea. I don't

have have Fibro but I know some people who have been diagnosed with it so i'm

really confused???

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks.

Hi Deb, there’s a gadzillion theories out there as to the source of almost

all diseases…and I think we do tend to see through the lens of our own

diagnosis – for instance, I have ME, so often see things from that

perspective. Those who have dealt with so-called “subclinical”

hypothyroidism and then finally gotten a hard-won diagnosis will tend to see

things that way. But, if you do an overview of Fibro literature, you will

see that just as many fervently believe lots of different theories, most of

which have some scientific basis…but really, nothing is known for sure. So,

just give a grain of salt to all those theories out there LOL! It is

certainly true that lots of folks in general do have subtle forms of

hypothyroidism. Aylwin xox

I do not think that Fibro is undiagnosed hypothyroidism. I have been

treated for hypothyrodism for years. I still developed Fibro.

That idea sounds very farfetched to me. Many of us with CFIDS also have low

thyroid, me included. I have no fibro symptoms and I don't know of anyone else

with low thyroid who could possibly connect with fibro symptoms.

The low thyroid is very common in CFIDS people.
