I Was Told By A Friend If I Had Thyroid

I was told by a friend if I had thyroid disease or high blood pressure I should not be taking tumeric curcumin. I have osteoarthritis in all my joints and I have fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disorder for over 15 years. I take plaquenil also for that but still have alot of joint and musclepain/discomfort so my rheumotologist told me I could take the tumeric because it would decrease inflammation and
pain. It has helped.
