Medical Mystery: Thyroid Resistance in Fibromyalgia
Understand that fibromyalgia is a completely separate problem
It is also important to emphasize that fibromyalgia or thyroid hormone resistance is not entirely a problem with thyroid function. It is a rejection by the mutant cells of the thyroid hormones, leading to similar symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. Among the indicators of fibromyalgia are:
- Bladder and urinary tract problems
- Repetitive muscle strains, swelling, and stiffness
- Excessive weariness and fatigue
- Troubled bowel movement, either diarrhea or constipation
- Significant gain in weight
- Slow heart rate
- Depressive episodes
- Forgetfulness
- Anxiousness and irritability
- Skin dryness
- Irregular menstrual cycle
- Insomnia
- Heart palpitations
- Migraines
- Tingling and numbness in muscles
