Fibromyalgia and Hashimoto's as you know, we've done a lot on this over the years. And again, there's a lot of this on our, on our, on our power health talk.com site. And you can look up Hashimoto's and, and, and you can look up fibromyalgia and usually have Hashimoto's and fibromyalgia. But, you know, it's interesting that this was the question of the week, so to speak and, and, and it's how it's, it's kinda how it started. It's kind of like how this whole thing started. You're you're looking on Google, you're looking on the internet and you're getting all this stuff. It started back in the nineties with chronic fatigue, immuno deficiency disease, and, and everybody who had that back in the nineties, it was considered, uh, a nut case, you know, like you need to go see the psychologist. And, um, and so, uh, so it started out with that, with chronic pain, with the alternative healthcare guys going, no, they're not crazy.

You know, they, they, they, I can feel it. I can feel they're tender, they're sick. And, and, um, and so everybody's looking for the answer back then. People who are, people are looking for like, Oh, it's heavy metals sometimes. Oh, it's all parasites, that's another whole topic. But sometimes, um, and, and, and on and on and on, there was all kinds of theories on Epstein BARR virus. We now know Epstein BARR virus is one of 39 different triggers. Okay. So we went through that whole thing. And, uh, it was a, it was, uh, discovered at one point in time that, uh, by, by a couple of clinicians, that all of a sudden, they started to realize that all of their five, that it morphed in from chronic fatigue syndrome to fibromyalgia. Cause because a lot of the pain and then it morphed into I'm calling it fibromyalgia.

And then sort of certain clinicians, they started to realize that every fibromyalgia patient there was, had some sort of abnormal thyroid problem. They all had, they were all on thyroid medication and that the thyroid medication, um, wasn't really helping because their thyroid numbers were still all over the place, further investigation into that was when it was discovered that these were not hyperthyroid patients. They all had Hashimoto's. And so there was an original, um, there was original understanding of that. There's a whole story to that, and it was solved, but in the end, fast forward about 20 years now. And what we now know is when you get Hashimoto and who's the fibromyalgia patient, fibromyalgia, patient overweight, fatigue, tired, uh, constipation, uh, pain, everywhere. Some people have painted or torso. Some people are paying here. It comes and goes. Some people have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.

Some people have no pain shooting down their arm and peripheral neuropathy. They've gotten a check everything's normal, you know, how could everything be normal? And it turns out that so much of this is related to Hashimoto's, like I said, fast forward 20 years later. And, and we now know Hashimoto's is connected to, well, let's just start with the brain gut gut brain thing. And the Hashimoto's got thing.
