sometimes people have both because both are autoimmune disorders.

my doctor calls it rupus.

It is possible that you have both maybe the doctors are correct but as far as symptoms go they are very simular for both diseases.

I have extreme fatigue and my nights and days get mixed up. One reason I can't sleep is because rolling over can create horrendous pain and that wakes me up. Then the restless leg syndrom. Ahhhhhhh drives me bonkers so I have to get up. The pain consist of pain in the neck, shoulders, hands, lower back and hands. (Don't think there is much left to hurt). It just no fun....at all but by God's grace...I am retired. Thanj you Jesus.

Wow, I feel for you! I am not a dr. but my oldest daughter experienced the exact things and ended up being in a huge thyroid storm! They are still working on her levels but she is much-much better! We didn't even know she had a bad thyroid!
