I am 37 yr old female with a positive ANA, a TSH of .65, a T4 of 1.25, and a Triiodothyronine of 3.2. All my doc says is Fibromyalgia.

    You shoukd be referred to specialist who can rule out auto immune disease...particularly Lupus with positive ANA.

    hi kelly, doctors test ANA to rule out autoimmune issues before they can say you have fibromyalgia ( dont be fobbed off  with this being fibro) you need to be refered to rheumatology and endocrine

    Are you going to an endocrinologist sounds like thyroid problems but this is also an autoimmune disease which mimics a lot of other diseases! My endocrinologist told me that I had fibromyalgia !

    I'm right there with you! I have a positive ANA, positive rheumatoid factor, and a high level of antibodies in my thyroid. I was told that I have Hashimoto's but they won't do anything about it because my thyroid is still normal. So my doctor told me I have Fibro and put me on Cymbalta. Too bad I've been on it for two months and it hasn't helped one bit with my MANY ridiculous symptoms. I'm only 27 and living the life of an 80 year old. Super over it.

      Omg I feel your pain! I have a positive ana. I also have a borderline whatever that means double strand dna antibody test...that's to test for lupus. I'm sorry your going thru this it's absolutely awful. I'm gonna start vegetarian diet tomorrow I can't take this anymore! Do u have freezing cold feet? Or shoulder pain?

    I feel your pain. I was there for many years till my neice recommended trying a supplement that she was selling. LIFE CHANGING! my thyroid level went form a high  5.74 to 2.92 (normal range) In just 6 months. This is unheard of. My Dr. was very interested in the product I was taking. It also healed my toe nail fungus! text me if you have any questions 7173715857~Rose
