sadly there is no test they do a tender point test and put force in those areas and if you react to 11 out of the 18 of them you will be diagnosed. If you do have it you will most like be referred to a rheumalogist. What are some of your other symptoms? Does it feel like a deep ache? Most people describe the pain is feeling brusied all over it's a wide spread pain. Mine first started out in my arm just for a second and It would be gone. then my stomach started hurting then my back etc, then it just snowballed from there. I'm not sure what is hypothryoidsm? I've never heard of that.
My advice in the mean time. take pamprin or Tylenol, Use heating pads, take hot showers or baths It does help with the pain for a bit. Take care!
we are all here to help it must be so difficult when you have just had a baby. I don't take any meds I'm so scared of the side effects. you can take pamprin, tylonel, use heating pads, and empsom salt baths. Take care hope you feel better.
