Hi everyone, glad to be here. I have had fibro, Hashimaoto Disease and an autoimmune arthritis condition all diagnosed within a year of my last daughter being born in 1995. She has Down Syndrome and it was a shock, life before was very stressful, along with the way I was told in the hospital. I think something snapped and never went back. The thyroid the endo definitely said was the pregnancy.
Long story short the pain I have been in though was the degenerative joint issues but now looking back over the years it is a lot of muscle, ligiment type pain more than joints. Advil has been able to cover me everyday, for the most part and good shoes. Just dealt with it and kept going. We moved a lot when the kids were young, so I was busy until a big flare. Anxiety and depression have been a nightmare all these years as well.
Here is the question, I took Cymbalta two years ago and about two months in I started itching and having other side effects but mental and pain were good. All of a sudden out of no where I started aching EVERYWHERE, like a toothache, like the flu. My shirt hurt to touch my skin. Went of the pill, thought it may be thyroid was off or female hormones since I also had full hysterectomy six years ago. Still have the aches to this day, take Tramadol. Poops out sometimes and have to take a break and I sit and cry. Is it normal to ache every inch of the body constantly? Do any of you feel like this? I am trying to figure if it is they thyroid if no one else has this type of pain. Now , my neck and both sides of shoulders now that is flat out pain lately. Not a ache. I will end much longer than I wanted to post. Lol
