Hi Gina

Thanks so much for your question and welcome to EmpowHer!

Your symptoms may be any number of things, from some kind of rheumatic or arthritic condition to something like Lupus. Click on the word LUPUS for more information.

As for your thyroid, I'd like you to check out a great article called Understanding Thyroid Conditions. You can read it here: http://www.empowher.com/thyroid-hormones/content/understanding-thyroid-c...

Unfortunately you'll have to wait another few days for your results to see what's actually going on. The above information are just some ideas, based on what you have said, about what could be going on.

We wish you the very best and hope you get this diagnosed soon so that treatment can begin. Will you update us when you know more?
