Re: Thyroid/Lyme connection

I am never in the woods and live in the city. Wouldn't I know if I had been

bitten by a tick? BTW, I have no pets.

Thyroid/Lyme connection

I was sent a really fascinating article recently this past week. It is a very

long (too long to post here) but gives just about every single symptom regarding

Lyme Disease. One thing I was really surprised to find was the following which

I have extracted. I don't think I have ever seen any actual written connection

between Thyroid and Lyme before - but here is one.

I am encountering

thyroid disease in LD. A local endocrinologist has remarked to me privately

that the incidence of thyroid involvement in LD may be greater than expected

from the normal population. A final judgement awaits formal statistical

analysis. In many of these patients, the thyroid dysfunction was seen to

originate in the pituitary or hypothalmus. Remaining alert to the

possibility of thyroid disease is essential because there can be

considerable clinical overlap with LD. Subacute thyroiditis is the most

prevalent thyroid phenomenon I see in LD. Hypoadrenalism can uncommonly

develop. Uncorrected hormonal aberrations can vitiate otherwise effective LD

therapy. Like any infection, LD can provoke the onset of hyperglycemia and

alter the facility with which diabetes is managed " ..

Hi Sheila, Where can I get that article that you received?
