Question:
I'm a newbie poster so sorry if I've used any incorrect terminology here.
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid approximately 2½ years ago and
after taking thyroxine (approx 6-12 months) things seem to settle down.
Over the last year and a half though I have gradually deteriorated and now
my G.P. suspects I possibly have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome too.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice they can offer ? Also
are there any thyroid support groups in N.E. England at all ?
Answer:
Have your thyroid hormone levels stayed the same, or have they changed in
the past 6-12 months? Free T3 and free T4 levels will indicate more than the
TSH test.
