I'm really hurting today!

Hi everyone,
My body is aching so bad today! I didn't sleep too well last night so I guess that doesn't help. I found out on Friday that my thyroid levels were low (whatever that means) and since then, I've felt like garbage! I went to work today at 5am & so glad to be home now...but I have my 2 year old who is dying to play with her mommy but I can't physically move anymore today! What should I do?? Do you guys think that Fibro, anemia & thyroid problems mixed together could be the cause of my symptoms? Anyone else here have thyroid issues??
Hope you're all having a better day than me!
Take care,
OCD

Re: I'm really hurting today!

Well, if you have low thyroid (hypothryroidism) then YES what you are experiencing is an affect of this. Anemia also causes fatigue, weakness, difficulty sleeping, and other symptoms. Did you doctor prescribe synthroid for your thyroid? Even if you did not test severely low thyroid, you still can benefit from taking synthroid. There are many people who feel worse even though they are not severely low than those who are. Obviously you have two conditions that could possibly benefit from medical attention....and I would bet that the fibro would not be as severe once these are treated.

Re: I'm really hurting today!

I know there is not much one can do for Fibro but I know of quite a few people who suffer from this disease who take vitamin supplements and antioxidents along with their prescribed pain medication. They have all reported that with the supplementation of vitamins and antioxidents they are able to reduce their prescribed medication.
Just a thought

Re: I'm really hurting today!

The vitamin suggestion is good for fibro and general health, but keep in mind that if you're having low thyroid hormones vitamins won't help. That's a condition that is life long (unless related to post pregnancy) and needs hormone replacement. You really need to concentrate on the thyroid and anemia conditions and once those are dealt with then look into what else you can do for your fibro. There is a really good chance that your pain levels and fatigue will greatly improve and you won't need much or anything in the way of prescribed medications for your fibro. Also, people can suffer symptoms of low thyroid long before it ever shows up on lab testing. IF your hormones aren't stabilized no amount of nutritional supplementation will help the rest of your ailments.

Re: I'm really hurting today!

I agree with Bleigh. I have thyroid probs but l had graves disease and had the gland removed last July. Believe me the body pains/exhaustion experienced by someone with thyroid probs are unreal! Whast happening about your thyroid? Are you starting replacement? Good luck x
