Hi ladies,
I have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) by an endo. He took loads of tests and all came back normal.

However, for the last few years I have suffered from tiredness, weight gain, dizziness, brain fog, memory problems, low body temp etc. These symptoms were put down to PCOS and I was given met to boost energy and regularise my periods with no real results. The CFS seems to be just an excessive dose of the normal symptoms.

My gynae says my PCOS is very mild and now having been diagnosed with CFS, I am now beginning to think there is something else going on, perhaps a thyroid issue that has not shown up on the tests.

Can anyone tell me if there is a connection between CFS and thyroid problems?

Thanks to anyone who can help!!

As a hypo, I can tell you I'm constantly fatigued. Especially when my meds are off like now. Some days I dont even feel like I can get out of bed.

I think you should have some blood work done to see where your TSH and all are. PCOS and Hypo share a lot of the same symptoms, so its likely that you may have both, and need to be treated for both.

Best wishes.
