Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Deficiency of thyroid is easily and completely correctable...
The dose has to be tailored to the individual... on the level f TSH / You need frequent measurements initially till stable; then occasionally
The symptoms may correct when the level gets corrected – say approximately 2 months..
If not, fibromyalgia is the major cause...
Discuss with your doctor
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
