Shelli,

Regarding fms and no cure, I agree with you. I've spent alot of money on specialists who try one thing after the other and then finally admit that there's no cure at this time. I mainly control it by diet and stress reduction. I'm familiar with costocondritis, having had it myself about 5 years ago. It eventually went away. I remember it being very painful and not being able to raise my arms at all or take a deep breath.

Yes, low thyroid causes a deep muscular aching pain, muscle weakness and tingling. In fact there are some schools of thought that suggest improper functioning of the thyroid causes fms. I know that when I upped my dose (also taking natural brand) my fms pains diminished considerably. I'd urge you to get it checked since even a slightly low function can mean depression. AT the risk of repeating what you already know: Your TSH values should be around 1.0 - 1.5. Many doctors will let it go at 2 and above, but that is not good enough to get a good therapeutic antidepressant effect. Good luck to you. - Barbara
