Thanks for responding. I was waiting at least an hour to take my calcium and Vit D but not 4 hours. Will try to make that change and see if that helps. No steroid, PPI use. I am 52, post menopausal. Osteoporosis, not sure about. Hopefully making the change with the time that I take supplements will give me some relief. Maybe I haven’t been absorbing the Synthroid properly due to the supplements. Thanks!

Thanks Alexis,

Yes, I’ve had my levels checked and they are always normal. I take Synthroid….one thing that I didn’t know is not to take calcium and iron. Of course my iron is low so the Dr. (not my endocrinologist) told me to take iron. So maybe I need to change that and see what happens. The pain is daily and have read online where others have the chronic joint/muscle pain as well, so I thought maybe there were others out there that have the other symptoms that I have too since Drs. can’t seem to find a reason. When I was tested for Lupus and MCTD and the results came back negative the Dr said, “Well I guess it’s just arthritis”. It’s not rheumetoid…I forgot to mention that I’ve been checked for that, as well. Maybe some others will respond…will wait and see! Thanks again! ~Leslie
