Having been on chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia lists/newsgroups for a while
(after my ex-girlfriend was diagnosed with, first hypothyroid, then Hashimotos,
then CFS/fybro) I have noticed the following:
1. many who have one of these conditions have the other(s)
2. the only thing that seems to help consistently is a restricted carb diet.
Various degrees of carb restriction work, but virtually all regimens that
did work required elimination of grains and high-starch foods. Thus they
might be helping because they are closer to paleo, not simply due to lower carbs.
