Here are a few other articles that I found to be rather interesting.

According to these articles, a low metabolism is common in Fibromyalgia patients and fibromyalgia patients may be helped by giving them T3 thyroid hormone or by correcting the low metabolic rate that is found in fibromyalgia patients.

Inadequate Thyroid Hormone Regulation as the Main Mechanism of Fibromyalgia: A Review of the Evidence

People with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have also been helped by taking oral T3 thyroid hormone.

And since many chronic Lyme Disease patients were also diagnosed has having chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia I can't help wonder if chronic Lyme Disease patients would also see similar improvements if they were given T3 thyroid hormone or if they had some type of hypothyroidism and were properly treated for it?
