Help, Yersinia 😕

Hi MarkJones - welcome to our community!

I'm sorry but I don't know anything about Yersinia. But, I do recall it being discussed on this forum a few times...so please keep checking this thread.

You could also do a search for it (there's a 'search' icon top blue bar)

If your body is attacking thyriod you are right to assume there is an infectious root cause . What lyme test did you do ? Was it igenix?...have you tested for cpn...many docs only consider igm to be active infection . There is someone here who has yersina in her signature maybe she will chime in..welcome and good luck

Hi BlueLyme and Mister Mike thank you for your replies, the tests were conducted here in the UK by Blue Horizen Medicals all its stated on the Lymes test was Borrelia (Lymes) I'm sorry being a newby I'm not sure what Cpn is. I'm frustrated with the doctors here as they are saying there is not researched link between infections and auto immune disease and that its incurable and I should basically take levothyroxine and accept my condition. My research tells me they are incorrect and there is often a root cause, does this positive test for Yersinia anti bodies show this is my root cause? I've searched so long and spent so much money trying to find an answer to get well again, I have a young family and 3 business's so find it hard at times feeling like this.

Hi MarkJones!
Welcome to our community!! I'm glad you found us.

I would also encourage you to reconsider the possibility that you could still have Lyme. I was in treatment for a full year before I got a positive Lyme test.

Cpn is chamydia pneumonia.

You will likely find this blog post helpful, from a very well known LLMD:

There is a ton of evidence that autoimmune conditions can be triggered by infections - no matter what the doctors choose to believe.

Well, I have healed from the tick-borne infections. I've never had the symptoms of Yersinia, so I've never been tested - besides, first I'd have to find a doctor that would be willing to test me for it!

I know that one of our Mods, who's out sick right now, is dealing with not only these tick-borne infections, but also a terribly stubborn Yersinia infection. It's MarieLS and she posted in the thread that Celeste shared above.

As I said, I've not had it, but it seems to me that just like with Lyme, time and patience is required to heal from Yersinia. It doesn't respond to just any protocol, and you and your doc may have to do some experimenting to find a protocol that will work for you.

I know what you mean about thinking you were at the end of a long health struggle - only to find out that you aren't done yet! Treatment fatigue anyone??? I treated for the tick-borne infections, healed and then a year later I had severe adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism to now treat.

I don't know of any health forums just for Yersinia, but you can do either a whole site search or just search a specific forum with our search function up above. To stay within a certain forum, just be sure to put that word first - for instance, if it's the Lyme forum you wish to search, you would type Lyme, yersinia.

I did a site-wide search for you (using Google though), you can see it here:

And here is the first post (I believe) that our Mod, MarieLS, made for Yersinia. It has some information in it that may be helpful to you:
