Thank you, that is good information!! I do need to order more supplements, what's another one to take? Do you know if milk thistle is better than dandelion root?...
I learned that I probably have adrenal fatigue. However, I don't think I can use cortisol because I had a steroid shot in the past which I had very bad effects from because of Lyme. I believe...
I had some tests with elevated ALT and AST levels which apparently represents liver enzymes. I have not even started antibiotics. Is this common with those with Lyme?...
Thank you!!!!!!!!!...
Thank you for all that!! That will all be useful. I did have back surgery several months ago. After that I also had a steroid shot, BIG MISTAKE! I did end up losing too much weight so I also had the...
I appreciate all you've done already. Do you happen to know where the article is about the T3 and related to inflammation and where it says that meds won't help....
Wow, thank you for that information! I will definitely have to look into this....
Another thing, my glucose is on the higher end....
One more question about adrenal function. Do you know if I have low T3, do you think that would rule out adrenal problems?...
Thank you for that information! Sometimes it's difficult to wait and see if something works knowing that I could be wasting precious time....
What do you take for the adrenals?...
Thank you for your responses. I haven't had my adrenals checked at all. Is there even much that can be done for the adrenals? I keep wanting to start some natural herbs recommended for the Lyme....
I have an MD who prescribed Armour Thyroid knowing that I may have Lyme (my t3 was low). I started at 60 mg and didn't help. The doctor increased it to 90 mg and worked for about a week but now...
Does anyone know if a tens unit is safe? I know radiation and electrical fields are not good for the immune system so not sure if the tens unit is safe....
Thank you for your knowledge!!...
Thank you! I do have an appt. with an LLND in a couple weeks. I have also heard that if the thyroid is not working correctly, it will not metabolize the abx very well either. I don't know if that's...
One more thing, I am scheduled to see an LLND. Do you think that is just as good as an LLMD?...
Traveler, Were you able to find tests for your coinfections? If so, what were they?...
I am rather new to Lyme. Although, I have been doing a lot of research. I feel like some people don't believe that I have Lyme and I'm still in the experimental stage. It's been about 18 months since...
I agree. Thank you for all your help!! Decisions, decisions . . ....
Thank you. Actually my FT3 results say less than 1.0. I am afraid to start more than one prescription/supplement at a time since my body seems to have many reactions. I made the mistake of getting a...
One more thing, my Lyme tests had turned out negative, but, as you know, are unreliable. I did have rashes, bite, fever, and symptoms 18 months ago. My MD wants to get my thyroid working again before...
Wow, how do you know all of that? All I know is that my T3 was low. My TSH and T4 tested "normal" although on the lower range of normal. My adrenal glands were not checked. My temperature always runs...
I'm wondering if anyone would know whether the thyroid supports the immune system. I just started Armour Thyroid and my Lyme symptoms have increased. I'm wondering if it's a detox reaction because my...
Thank you!...
Wow, thank you for all that information. I know that the tests are unreliable but seems like it would just be nice to have some test turn positive just for my own satisfaction. I have done a lot of...
Hi Forum Moderator, Thank you for your response. I am not being treated for Lyme. My doctor ("natural" MD) wants to fix my hormone issues first and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then we're...
I had a blood test and show low FTH3. My doctor (who is a "natural" doctor) prescribed Armour Thyroid. I didn't get my cortisol tested; however, I definitely am experiencing adrenal symptoms. Will...
