Anyone heard of firbomyalgia being associated with enodmetriosis and/or hypothyroidism??

A year before I started having pain from Fibro, I was diagnosed with low thyroid. I have read many articles that say low thyroid is just one of quite a few things that can trigger Fibro.

We have two daughters. Both are diagnosed as having fibro. Both have Insulin Resistance. One has been disgnosed as having Endometriosis. It seems that many women with FMS have Endometriosis also.

Yes I Found Out When I Got Fibro. I Had An Underactive Tyroid As Well As Throiditis

I believe thyroid deficiency plays a very big role in fibro as verified in some books on fibro in spite of thyroid tests coming back normal, but we are not normal. It is impossible to get a doctor to agree with this theory though as they only go by the numbers.
