Thanks spike and noa
TSH and T4 will be tested as I remember right. And rheumatic factors too. What is BWT ? I am not used in this english shortage (blood ....test ?).
Why are muscles/joints and tendons could be involved in hypothyroidism ? I couldnt read of an answer.> Wait for the thyroid results--what tests were done? Also, BTW, synthroid is not the only option. There are a couple of newer brands that are FDA approved. See www.thyroid-info.com
