Özet

Introduction: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a non-inflammatory disease characterized by chronic widespread pain and sensitive spots of 3 months duration. Chronic musculoskeletal pain and fatigue are common symptoms in hypothyroidism. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether hypothyroidism in patients with fibromyalgia affects the severity and symptoms of fibromyalgia.
