I don't understand this statement...if you have antibodies against your

thyroid and you have symptoms of hypothyroidism...then you are considered to

have Hashi's...it is also sub-clinical if your thyroid lab levels of TSH or

T4 are on the low ranges of normal...so you can actually correctly be termed

as having both...Bernadette

Thanks Bernadette for the thyroid links. I myself have antithyroid

antibodies but not Hashimoto's. It's considered subclinical thyroiditis.

Haven't been treated for it although I'm going to pursue it. Do a lot of you

out there have thyroid problems as a result of Lyme? Does anyone know if

this is a common complication of Lyme? Does anyone have what I have? If so,

do you get treated?

Thanks. Feeling a little brighter this morning.

Hope your bodies are committing multiple acts of spirocide today!

Bernadette,

My TSH levels are mid range. What's off is that I have " anti-microsomal

AB " antibodies, not anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. Those are the two

thyroid ab's they test for. My doctor called it subclinical thyroiditis.

I can't even remember what that means exactly except that I don't have

full blown symptoms of Hashi's and my TSH is normal. He thought that it

would be contributing to my low energy. I forgot to bring this up in the

midst of figuring out the Lyme diagnosis. I know he said at one point

that there's no treatment for it. I wonder about that.

I have a friend who had cysts in her breast. She was put on Flagyl for a

few weeks ?? and the cysts dryed up. The saks remained but were empty.

Yes, the lyme spirochetes affect the endocrine systme, i.e. thyroid,

pancreas, adrenal, etc. Lovey Going Back to Bed. Yaaawn!

very low thyroid may show as teeth being slow to grow.

in fact thyroid is not as simple as low and high it seems to be

complexed into high central body and low periperal so you can sort of

get both at the same time.

look for iodine and lithium in the index

tml

you really have to look at the other minerals and some scd exclusions

as well.

daughter age 21 is mildly hyperthyroid. she still has a few milk teeth and many

of the second teeth are not there. good thing her mother was too poor to buy

sugary treats in early childhood, becasue those teeth are all she has for life.

I didn't have any problems with my thyroid, but I know they checked my thyroid function a few times, so it must be a concern. -dz-

Thank you, Sue. Your post has come at a very appropriate time. I have two

nodules in my neck but my thyroid bloodwork is normal as well. I still need to

go to the doctor. I will keep you poster. Hope you do the same.

thyroid problems

Ok so I have been doing the colon cleansing and I'm smack in the

middle of the parasite cleanse and like almost everyone here I've

been through the testing at my MD for diabetes and HIV and

everything else they can think of that might be a cause for the

candida overgrowth. So finally they decided to check my thyroid

because I had a lymph node in my neck that was consistently swollen.

So it seems my thyroid blood work has returned in the " normal " range

but there are nodules growing on the thyroid itself. I go back into

the doctor today to find out the next step for this.

It seems that a thyroid that is out of whack so to speak can cause

candida overgrowth. I wanted to know if anyone here has been

diagnosed with a thyroid problem that is contributing to their

candida troubles. I've also read that candida can cause thyroid

trouble so it's getting blurred and confusing.

I have symptoms from candida all month long but they seem to flare

up really bad approx a week before my period. Anybody else have any

of these symptoms?

I've been following the diet and a cleansing routine. I'm not a sick

as I was before but I'm not better either. Not that I expected to be

just yet.

Thanks for any input that anyone here has.

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one here with this going on. I was at

the Dr's yesterday and was told I have one nodule that's under 3mm in size. The

radiologist report said it was a non-specific finding and to check it again in 6

months. The prelim blood work done came back normal but I've pushed the doctor

for more tests. So they've taken my blood yet again and they're testing the TSH

levels T3 & T4 and my adrenal functions as well as one other test. My advice is

to try to get the doctor to test all your hormones and see what they come up

with. They didn't seem too interested in digging much further there until I

pushed to have these done.

I've also been referred to an ear nose and throat and a gyn. I think my doctor

thinks I'm a little bit nuts but I figure if I don't push I won't get anywhere

with this.

Hope all goes well with your nodulars. Seems that mostly they are benign or

cysts. Seems that it's quite common to have them from all the research I've done

so far.

Cheers

Sue

Any idea where in Canada I would be able to get the anti-Candida antibody panel

tests done?

Hi there:

I am a friend of Rogene's and am new to the group. I am having a

little trouble figuring out how to get around here, but hope to get

that worked out soon. Please bear with me.

I have autoimmune issues, vasculitis and neuropathy and have been

unable to work now since the early '90's. I have severe neurological pain.

I am having trouble with my thyroid. In addition to a 17 year history

of leaking and ruptured silicone implants (removed in '92) I also had

nasal radium treatments as a child. Some of these people are

developing cancers of the head, neck, brain and thyroid as older

adults. Boy, I got used as a guinea pig at both ends of my life...

Anyway, a CT scan, various ultrasounds, a radioactive scan and 2 fine

needle aspirations have been unable to determine whether nodules

present in both sides of my thyroid gland are cancerous or not. This

means the whole gland has to come out.

I am really concerned, because I am on Prednisone, cannot get off of

it, and it doesn't take much to get a nasty flareup of my autoimmune

problems going big time. I don't know how in the world I will be able

to adjust Prednisone AND Synthroid to this situation. Obviously, I am

not the most desirable candidate for surgery. I had aneurysm repair

surgery several years back and the flareup from that was really rough.

Is there anyone here who has gone through this surgery and who is on

steroids or immunosuppressants? I would appreciate any input.

Thanks a lot. I look forward to reading more here and getting to know

people.
