I have had chronic ME for 23 years> My hands and feetwere freezng and my core body temperature was always low. I saw a Dr MYhill in Wales uk who tested my thyroid levels and although they were 'within the normal range' they were at the lower end of the scale and all symtoms pointed to hypothyroidism. She started me on thyroxin and within 1 week I was out of bed for the first time in 20 years. I felt warm and strong and have since made amazing progress.
Thyroxin has not cured all my symptoms, but has made a very significant change to my life.
