RE: Hypothyroidism and lyme

[Guest guest]

One the first things that happened to me was a hypothyroid condition, followed

of course by worse things. My llmd was not surprised.

Who is your LLMD? My LLMD believes my hypothyroid and high cholesterol are

Lyme related.

Hi,

Ever since I discontinued IV antibiotics I cannot stop having chills.

I'm freezing all the time.

My LLMD is having me try Armour Thyroid pills, a tiny dose, to see if it

helps.

It has been 5 weeks since I stopped the IV.

I don't know if I have thyroid problems or not, but it may help.

Oh, I take my first pill tomorrow & they smell putrid.

I phoned the pharmacy & was told this putrid odor is normal.

I'll try to update you in the near future.

The Luvox dried up my constant tears for the time being.

Hugs, a

Hi a,

Until very recently my daughter slept with 5 comforters. She was always

freezing. Perhaps it is just the lyme.

Feel better. Sheila

Just read an article in the paper today about Synthroid...seems the FDA has

contacted the manufacturer that they contain wildly varying amounts of the

active substance and that could cause many problems with people taking it.

Not only that, but since Synthroid was never APPROVED by the FDA to begin

with, it may be pulled off the market in August. Read about it here:

Is there a herb or supplement that can be taken in place of Synthroid?

Thanks, Pepi

[Guest guest]

I just spoke to my pharmasist and he says that the company that produces

synthroid is complying with the new application and that this all boils down

to money and the other company that sells thyroid meds. S.

Is this characteristic of lyme? When I tried doxycyline 100mgTID po

my hands and feet warmed up and I felt more comfortable than I had

for years since getting a sinus infection from drinking

unpasteuristed sheeps milk. When I stopped the doxy I felt colder

and more achey than ever.

Recently I had a thyroid test and T3 was below normal.

I currently have a dx of CFS but suspect lyme. Any clues help.
