Horrible weekend in painSad So today I decided to go through my stacks of paperwork from all the doctors I've seen and for the last 3 years and all the different doctors I have seen one thing in common I have no reflexes?? But really was never told why? Or if that is something to worry about? Since I was finally diagnosed with lupus and sjogrens I thought I'd see if any of u have experienced this?

Hello. When I was in the process of being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, it's a long story, but it took almost a year, I had gotten so bad that I had absolutely no reflexes. If I tripped, I couldn't catch my fall. The doctors were fascinated and kept sending in their students to test my reflexes just so they could see what no reflexes looks like. You gotta love teaching hospitals (NOT!). Anyway, I am no doctor, but I do know what it's like not to have reflexes, and it totally sucks. Has anyone checked out your thyroid levels (TSH)? Mine was up to 1000 and it's supposed to be like. I hope they figure it out for you soon.
