cry

I got my results back today from all my testing.

CD-57 looks normal as well as my CBC and a few other nondescripts. However...

I found out I am full blown auto immune disorder gluten intolerant.
I am also pre diabetic along with hypothyroidism
Plus a huge candida infection
And I'm back on Doxy

/crap

Wow. So it sounds like diet is playing a major role in your health and how you feel. I'm sure it will be a major lifestyle change for you but the good part is I think you will feel a lot better now that you know what you can and can't eat. Have you been directed to see a nutritionist or gonna give it a go on your own? Did they put you on thyroid meds along with the doxy? Never a dull moment with lyme. Hope tomorrow a better day for you.

I'm planning on going GF on my own. My mum has been GF for over a decade now, so we know all the ins and outs of Celiac etc which is great. It's also good that it's a lot more mainstream these days, so easier to find stuff to eat. LLMD wants me to take temps and send them to her for confirmation for my thyroid. I only got a strong positive on one of the thyroid tests she did, so she wants to confirm. I'm pretty sure I am though, due to a huge amount of weight gain, which in turn has triggered my glucose to go sky high.

So, so fun is this Lyme disease of ours lol

AWw, Britgirl!
I am so sorry to hear of this! Although, as Springsjean has said, at least now you know!

Sounds like you will probably do well going GF, you got your Mom to guide you daily! I came across this a bit ago, and I would like to share it - It's a site called "Celiac travel.com" www.celiactravel.com/ and it has some pretty good ideas for those that are Gluten free.

I'm charting my temps as well!! I'm trying to figure out what my adrenals and my thyroid are up to lately, I think they may be the reason for some of my issues that have cropped up lately.

Yep! Lyme can sure mess up a whole lot of things!
