   A large body of fibro patienta actually have undiagnosed hypothyroid, so go get the right tests: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork And note that you will be going to a thyroid patient advocacy website which is based on far better treatment. You may have to INSIST on the right tests listed there. You will then have to understand how to read those test results, as most doctors are clueless—doing the wrong tests, and/or looking at "normal" results as the end-all, when they are NOT. Granted, uou could have fibro that goes beyond hypothyroidism, but so much fibro IS associated with undiagnosed hypo that it’s worth looking into.

   Oh, and here’s a page of hypothyroid symptoms: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/long-and-pathetic

   When my thyroid was low, my metabolism slowed way down, and I was hungry all the time. I couldn’t get enough sleep. I would come home from school and sleep until dinner time, and go right back to bed after supper.
   And I was cold, all the time.
