Get your thyroid/goiter checked. This is a symptom of thyroid disease, thyroid nodules or cancer. Thyroid autoimmune disease and fibro can often go hand in hand. DON't let them do just the standard thyroid blood test most doctors run. You want/INSIST on TSH to discern hypopituitary (i.e. low TSH with a low free T3), Free T3 and Free T4, Reverse T3, BOTH thyroid antibodies to detect Hashimoto’s, four iron labs (Ferritin, % Saturation, serum iron and TIBC), 24 hour Saliva cortisol (not blood), B12 and folate, magnesium, potassium (CMP), Vitamin D3 (and D2), MTHFR gene, Thyroglobulin if thyroid cancer is suspected. Others include whatever your doctor recommends. Insurance will probably not cover the cortisol test that checks your adrenal insufficiency better than a blood test.
For me it was my swallowing not working because of the anti spasm muscle relaxer meds. Keep a water bottle by your side and in purse.
