Hashimotos and Fibromyalgia?

[Evaleonor]

Hi, I can finally post a question,,, most of the times other forums have riched their limit or there is no Doctor. Thanks so much for this service. I have been suffering from Hashimotos for a bout 5 years now (that I know), I am taking syntroid and I think I am doing fine with that but the extreme fatigue comes and goes, my doctor thiknd that I may have fibrolyalgia, but I do not have pain. my TPoAB is above 2000,,,, what does it means? I know it is too high. I am 45 years old and worry for my niece (13 years old) who seems to be developing my symptoms. Can we die from this? sometimes I feel so tired that I think I'm dying. Dr. Luppo sugested Selenium and it has helped a lot,,, it keeps me active enough to have a life,,,

NTFactor is an all-natural isolate of membrane lipids.  It repairs the damage to your cellular membranes that occurs with infection, autoimmunity and other chronic conditions.

Also, your thyroid produces hormones that regulate body processes, and under-production of thyroid hormones can cause metabolic problems that slow down your body and make you fatigue easily.

Correction of thyroid hormones without repairing your mitochondria (the little batteries inside your cells that produce energy) can help but doing both is best.

I don't think that you are in immediate danger, but your extreme fatigue and Hashimotos thyroiditis are probably linked.  Often in such cases chronic infections are involved.  One product that should help with the fatigue is NTFactor (see NTFactor.com).

What is this exactly? I have just had a biopsy on a 3cm nodule on my thyroid which thankfully is benign. Now my Dr thinks I may have this auto immune disease.I already have FMS,CFS,IBS,Chronic pain
