Brian, I was dx'd with the Fibro "stuff" back in 1999..I was 61. And went thru an emotional trauma that really HIT me. I've never believed it all. At the time I was given the dx from an endo doc, I had been trying to get a thyroid dx and support for close to 10 yrs....long long story here.

I believe in my intuitive gut that thyroid has so much to do with all this FM. I finally got my thyroid supported in 2002, no labs and this from an osteopath MD I had been seeing for my back for many years. This older MD knew so much.

I know many MD's believe FM is a basket of things that need to be addressed....I've been doing that for years with supplements and desiccated thyroid. I could write books on it all as my years are advancing. I sleep 8-10 hrs with a sleep combo I've come up with as when this FM hit me, my sleep hasn't been the same...I also deal with bodywide osteoarthritis. Have you worked with supplements for FM. Do you deal with other health issues? C

PS: I believe so many are dismissed on the thyroid because of the lab numbers...we are not numbers, we are symptoms and there are MANY with a dsyfunctional thyroid.
