I have been taking Lyrica for fibromyalgia for about 6 months now. I do not feel any better. My doctor has just put me on Cymbalta to help with it too. Has anyone had any relief taking these meds together? I just don't want to pollute my body for nothing.
Also I have hypothyroidism and was thinking that the symptoms I am having are thyroid related. I asked my Doc about being put on Cytomel because while my TSH is normal (it was 243.42), my T-3 is low and always has been, but he said the Cytomel won't help because my pain is from fibromyalgia. Any input on either concern would be great.
I take Levothyroxine .3 for my hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's).
Hi i know just how you feel the pain is just ,,,,,,,,,,,,,so bad i am 48 male and tried all kinds.Listen you should go onto the fibromyalgia uk site its were u need to be look out for me i am Tom.good luck.
its quite possible that you don't have fibro at all--you are right that the symptoms may be your thyroid problems
most docs are completely ncomptant whenit comes to fibro--diagnosisng any pain as fibro--either they are too lazy to look for the true cause or they just use it as a general term for teh pain of anotehr condition (such as thyroid)
iti s its own conditon-not a general term for pain
