Absolutely, that is a symptom of hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid.  A
doctor may readily diagnose you with fibromyalgia and prescribe needless
treatments. Increasing your meds might help alot.  Do you have recent test
results?  Sometimes just increasing your dose helps.  Your medicine
provides T4 only.  Ordinarily, the body converts T4 into T3 which is the
active form of the thyroid hormone that has the most effect.  Some people
have plenty of T4 but don't convert it into T3 adequately.  Adding T3
either by adding Cytomel (synthetic T3) or switching to natural dessicated
pig thyroid (Armour) which has both T3 and T4 can help in that situation.
Doctors who test only TSH do not figure this out. You need a free T3 and a
free T4 level to see where you really are.
