Thread:
Hypothyroidism and TMS?
Hi avik,

One of the many diagnoses I received prior to realizing I have TMS is hypothyroidism. I was treated for it with medication, but it didn't help because I have TMS. I think it is something that people should rule out if they have the symptoms of hypothyroidism. If the medication makes you feel better and your symptoms disappear, then it is likely the right diagnosis. But know that there is a controversy among the medical community about what constitutes low thyroid function, and different doctors will diagnose it differently. It seems to be somewhat of a fad right now. I have several friends who have gotten the diagnosis recently, but the medication didn't help them. I think it's because they have TMS. The symptoms can look similar.

Wishing you and your family the best.....
