Doc Appt Update and Supplement Schedule

Hey all,

I had my follow-up appointment with my NP who works at an integrative clinic with an LLMD and it went rather well.

My CBC and CMP looked really good (except for my uric acid - going to treat it with tart cherry and my iron has gone down drastically (54ug/dl) which she wants me to supplement with iron patches. ).

A1C was 5.6 - taking Berberine for when I have higher glucose-raising items.

My CD 57/8 has gotten lower, so I am certainly in a Lyme/Bartonella flare.

My inflammatory markers have increased - Fibronigen 334mg/dl, CRP 1.84, Homocysteine 14.5 - (not detoxing well Methyl B Complex should help as I have 2 MTHFR gene mutations). She's convinced my lymph issues are detox-related and not concerned about serious issues with clear mammo and u/s

My thyroid is not in great shape, and we are going to do some supplementation with NP Thyroid.

Estrogen and Estrone look amazing now due to DIM and Calcium D-Glucarate

So the supplement list is:

For Lyme/Bartonella Flare:
Methylene Blue - start at 15mg and work up - just ordered waiting for shipment
Clarithromycin - only abx - 90 day prescription - waiting for pharmacy
Japanese knotweed - at 1 dropper a day - working to 3 a day
Crytolepsis - at 1 dropper a day - working to 3 a day

Thyroid:
I have been GF for 10 years - with some cheating and homemade sourdough as my bread - non GMO and organic
Thytrophin PMG (Standard Process) - 4 tabs a day
Thymex (Standard Process) - 4 tabs a day
NP Thyroid 30mg daily - waiting for pharmacy
LDN - 4 mg at bedtime

Glucose Issues:
Berberine - 1 capsule with glucose-raising foods/drinks

High Uric Acid:
Tart Cherry Capsules - just ordered

Low Iron:
Patch Aid Iron - 12 on/off - just ordered

Detox Issues:
Methyl B Complex - just ordered

Estrogen Dominance:
DIM - 1 Capsule daily
Calcium D Glucarate - 1 Capsule daily

Other supplements suggested by a Bio-Meridian clinic I also go to for support and healing:
TriFactor Classic - 2 caps daily
Drenamin - adrenal support - 4 large pills daily
Fish Oil - 2 capsules daily
Catalyn - multivitamin - 2 tabs daily
Olive Oil - 1 1/2 tsp daily

It's a lot but I hope it gets me back to feeling more normal. What's weird is I've had a lot of ear pain lately and this sore throat that keeps coming on and off (besides all the chest/lymph achiness). Let me know if you have any advice and what you think.

Thanks for everything all of you!

Thank you for the advice. I will certainly take it at night.

I'm not a huge fan of eggs but I'm sure I could find a way to add them in. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sounds good. I'm trying to only use it when I have something with more sugar which is normally if I just have dessert or if I'm on my cycle.

I have a glucometer at home. I test mostly when I feel like it’s off.
