Don't know if OP is around but I was given the Fibro dx in 1999 while searching for thyroid support and NOT getting it from endo and internal med docs...but my gut was telling me sluggish thyroid. Thyroid dsyfunction is huge and MANY are not getting help or NOT getting the best support.

I didn't have the tender points and then one MD I got to know, said everyone has tender spots on their bodies. He said he did. Some doctors don't know what to do with patients, so hand out the Fibro dx. It's many things go wrong in the body, I believe. Headed into my 79th year, I have a lot of aches and pains, but bodywide OA too.

I never took the hardcore drugs for this fibro dx.
