Guest guest Posted May 6, 1999 Report Share Posted May 6, 1999 I have been told that both steroids and nsaids can affect thyroid function, and the thyroid is also susceptible to autoimmune disease. I am increasingly beginning to think that the anti-inflammatory medications looked upon as the first line of defense are actually exacerbating the diseases. I'm sorry that I cannot offer any hard references at this time as I am just starting to look into this, but I will be posting them in the future. I'm glad your doc picked up on the problem, Martha and hope you will feel better once it is straightened out! I think this is a big factor in the fatigue often associated with these diseases.
