I think my complications are largely due to having fibromyalgia. Anyone else?
I have fibromyalgia. It started years ago as Myofacial Syndrome; a form of Fibromyalgia. It attacks the muscles only in the neck up the back of your head, upper chest and arms. I was actually having weekly massages before my TT to control the pain. My dr had just diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia when my thyroid cancer hit. Believe it or not, the opposite has happened to me. Ever since my TT, I have had zero pain from the fibromyalgia and I had no side effects to any stage of the game except my taste buds. Go figure.....but I hope it continues!!!!
Could it have been the cancer was causing your neck pain?
I have not been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I also had severe neck and shoulder pain before my TT. Much, much less since.
I've thought about that possibility. I'm not sure. But if so, I've had cancer for a lot longer than my drs think. I was diagnosed with myofacial syndrome over 15 years ago!
