I'm wondering, which of you have thyroid problems in addition to your

fibromyalgia? I have been tested for the Auto-antibodies for thyroid

disease and mine are high, but my thyroid tests always come back within

normal limits. Having the auto-antibodies shows I have the potential

for thyroid (I have two out of three sisters with thyroid disease). It

would make sense since I have such horrible fatigue.

Hi Cathy,

If you've read my info signature, you see that I have Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

I was diagnosed in 1979 and had the Thyroid removed. It had already spread to my

lungs, so I have radioactive iodine treatments every time it recurs.

I'm the only one in my family with Thyroid Cancer, but I have relatives on both

sides of the family with Thyroid disease.
