Aftermath of having enlarged thymus

[Heather777]

I have a patient who had surgery to remove an enlarged thymus about 5 years ago. Since then, she has suffered from chronic pain and fatigue. She has tested negative for myasthenia gravis.  She has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Could this be ultimately still linked to the thymus? Who would you recommend in the Virginia/mid Atlantic area that specializes in thymic disorders?

I am not well-versed in thymus disorders w/ exception that sometimes the thymus is enlarged/persists in autoimmune disease such as Graves and MG.  I don't know of an association between prior thymectomy and FM/CFS - would pursue the usual work-up perhaps with a university based rheumatologist w/ an interest in FM/CFS and certainly would test thyroid function.
