"...and my tsh that bounces from 1.1 to 4.8 and they say it's normal."

That is not normal for your TSH to be swinging like that. We have some thyroid savy members here (including one of our Moderators)...who could help you with your thyroid meds...

You could start a new thread about your TSH bouncing like that.

He refuses to help me anymore with antibiotics, he said he doesn't want to lose his license. I was just thinking back to all the pain I had back then thinking, "when is this antibiotic going to stop hurting so much and kill off this Lyme so I could feel better already" He just shrugs his shoulders now and tells me to go to the states if I want help. GO CANADA!

I asked for the panel on T3 T4 and reverse T3 and T4 he said it is pointless refused to do it, did just a T4 and said everything is normal. I pushed him to try some thyroid meds and was on lowest dose of synthroid I think for about a month and saw no change.

I been thinking I am going to that clinic you mentioned soon, and I know they will want to start me on a diet but I am so confused and brain doesn't comprehend it, the whole no sugar no gluten no fruit yada yada. I just want to do the simplest, cheapest, most nutritional easy to follow way possible. I wouldn't even mind eating the same thing every day. I just don't want to eat the same thing if I am missing something if that makes sense. Also I was curious if you have to follow this diet for ever even after treating it or just until you kill it all off? Right now my diet is really bad, I have like coffee sugar in the morning with toast eggs hash browns, and chinese food, or pizza, or chocolate and coke or ice tea, I really have a poor diet and for most of my life. Yes I have read a lot of the posts on the diet restrictions but I just can't comprehend it I stare at it and go huh lol.

It is important to eat healthy. I would start with removing things like coke, pizza, chinese food.

You should get started on treatment sooner than later. You can work on your diet - it doesn't have to be overnight.

I still eat fruit, and now and then gluten...but try to focus on having meals with lots of vegetables, and lean protein. I eat a lot of salads with oil/vinegar dressing.
