Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Joint Pain, Stomach Pain And Fatigue When Diagnosed With Hashimoto S Disease?
I have hashimoto s. had blood work done because of joint pain, stomach pain, fatigue.... thyroid levels relative to hypo. Noticed +ANA of 1:160 Homogeneous pattern with some speckling. Dr said thats the hashi s. He was quick to answer, I just want to be sure.
ANA is not a specific test, which is positive even in Hashimoto disease. Hence, I think that your symptoms are just related to a thyroid gland dysfunction and the hormonal imbalance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
