Maybe they are the same!!!!

One of the symptoms of being Hypothyroid is yellow skin. Why? Because the

body cannot process BetaCarotene without sufficient thyroid hormone,

therefore the skin turns yellow. When the proper amount of Thyroid Hormone

is replaced then the body is able to use BetaCarotene and the skin is no

longer yellow. I know, it happened to me:-))

According to the Drs Lowe and many others Fibro and CFS are another name for

low thyroid and perhaps thyroid hormone resistance.

In any case, it would be very important to get the thyroid hormone levels at

optimum levels and then see if the other symptoms are gone or still there.

Many people find the symptoms they have in common disappear when they are

properly treated with _optimum levels of thyroid hormone_. In some people

this can mean a larger than average amount of Armour.

Please let others know on lists other than the Thyroid lists. " Normal " TSH

does not necessarily mean normal levels of thyroid hormone is getting to the

cells.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev
