Re: Anyone dealing with lyme and hyperthyroid?

[Guest guest]

What an interesting question. My son was treated for LD in 2000 for

about one year. Now there is a problem with his thyroid blood

tests. Not exactly hyper or hypo, but pdoc said results were all

over the place. Having test redone to confirm if it was just a

fluke or not.

HI:

I have developed Hashimoto's thyroiditid, goiters and borderline

hypothyroidism.This I believe all results from the lyme. I have also heard of

people in my lyme support group who have developed hyperthyroidism like you.

I have Hashimoto's but I don't know if I can blame all of it on lyme. It runs

in my family. I am on medication and have had good test results for yrs, no

problems if I stay on thyroid meds. To dx Hashimoto's, it take a different

blood test than the reg. TSH, T3, T4 test. They have to run a ANA blood test,

that is why some times the docs miss the Hashimoto's.

There have been studies linking thyroid and lyme. I was diagnosed with

hyper=thyroidism in 1990 with all sorts of problems. My thyroid was oblated and

now

of course I am hypo thyroid. In 1998 I was diagnosed with lyme and have been

suffering ever since. There are some LLMD who think I have actually had the

lyme since I was diagnosed with the thyroid problems. Hope this is of some help.
