Sara,

I was going to go in for possible Fibromyalgia to the Rheumatologist

with aches and pains all over since that many times comes along

after or with the CFS or EBS which I was diagnosed with years ago.

Nothing has gone away though or not much . I think I am not quite

as tired as I was but this pain , etc. is really getting me down.

I do not know what it feels like to feel " normal " anymore esp since

I have been this way for about 20 years. First it was the

tiredness and head and neck pain discomfort from what I am guessing

is from nodes in the head and neck and then the pain all over came

later on.

I don't know though with these possible swollen nodes or at least

that is what it feels like in my head and neck whether to start

first with an endo or a rheumatologist. The endo is probably more

into the gland,node and thyroid situation. Was just trying to

figure out who to go visit first, maybe the endo and see if that

takes care of it all or not.

Thanks again !

Marilyn

Jan,

It could very well be. When I couldn't gain weight ( have always

been skinny)and wasn't feeling well the thyroid bloodwork always

came back " normal " . Of course I am sure they just did the TSH level

and who knows what else cause I wasn't really paying that much

attention to it and no one told me I should be doing so. My mother

alwasy was cold natured to and most likely had some of my same

problems. However, you know at that time no one ever went to the

doc esp if you could not afford to go. We all figured that all the

docs knew what they were looking for with thyroid diseases and

ither related illness. Well, it lokks like not necessarily so.

About a year ago I started gaining weight for the first time i my

adult life, like at least 10 pounds in a year - unusual. Then I

thought that at might because I got off my premarin about that

time. Of course, now I sweat in between my cold spell. What a major

pain.

For the past 4 days I have been taking my basal body temp and they

have been 97 every time, and it was oral ,not axillary. Have to

remember to do that.

Thanks for your observations. I was thinking the same thing as you

and hope that all this FM etc. is related to the thyroid and that

it will when all my thyroid issues are resolved. I sure do hope

so. I have heard it from others so I guess I hae a fair chance !!

Bye for now.

Marilyn
