Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 Hi, I don't post much, but I do read the posts and I have gotten a lot of valuable info. So thank you to all of you. I have a question, I have been off of antibiotics for over 2 months now and I still have most of my symptoms. The doctor did a western blot and it came back positive for IGM bands23 & 41, and the IGG showed 2 bands 30 & 41. From what I was told, if I still have active bands in the IGG then the Lyme is still active,and I should be treated again. Is that true? I was diagnosed with CNS Lyme Disease in May of last year. I'm afraid that I'm going to end up starting all over with this. I probably should not have gone off the antibiotics, but my Dr.'s felt that I had enough. I did'nt want to overdo it with the antibiotics either, but at the same time, I want to get better. If you have any advice that would be great.Thanks, Kim S. HAVE A GREAT DAY,kimsak2000@...

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 My comments are below. Test results? I have received these test results from the latest new Dr.. Drawn April 27th, Range TSH 0.502 0.450-4.500 T4 4.2 4.5-12.0 - low T4 T3 Uptake 25 24-39 Free Thyroxine Index 1.1 1.2-4.9 T3 193 85-205 - Did you take thyroid meds before test? T4, Free (Direct) 0.84 0.61-1.76 - This is low in the range which is normally indicative of hypothyroidism. Vitamin D25-Hydroxy 32.1 32.0-100.0 - This should be at 50 or 60. Vitamin B12 454 211-911 - You could use more B12 Reverse T3 179 90-350 Ferritin 134 10-291 - This looks good TPO (Ab) <10 0-34 Antithyroglobulin Ab <20 0-40 Triiodothyronine, Free 3.2 2.3-4.2 - This could be higher. Mine is up around 425 - 430. My cortisol levels show elevated per saliva test done late Mar. 6:30 a.m. 12.0 3.7-9.5 10:30 a.m. 4.2 1.2-3.0 3:30 p.m. 2.5 0.6-1.9 8:30 p.m. 1.2 0.4-1.0 Your cortisols are over ranges which is a sign of some adrenal fatigue. Are you on an adrenal support? I am currently taking 50 mg.s of Iodoral , Armour 60 mg.s & the supplements recommended on 's web site in addition to PS & Zinc. Comments very appreciated! I think you could use another 15 mgs of Armour. How do you feel? Thank you! jeanie t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
