Sarah 2/5/2017 3:04:12 PM | I wanted to start a new topic discussion on this subject since I have been emailing with John B about some of my thyroid questions and I haven't seen this topic discussed since 2013. John has been very helpful in filling in and explaining some of the gaps and I am getting started on his thymic formula as soon as I can afford to buy some! I'm going to copy/paste some of our email but have new info to add also which I wanted to email John about. However, it is probably more helpful to everyone if I post my questions here. After getting diagnosed with mono (epstein barre has been directly connected to Lyme) in college, I was put on thyroid medicine. I have hypothyroid..or did I get infected with lyme in college instead? One of the things that tipped me off 2 yrs ago that I was very ill was when my thyroid went out of whack and we couldn’t regulate it after it being stable for 15+yrs. Granted, I was going through an immensely stressful lawsuit/trial at the time..and still am. They tried me on armor thyroid in 2015 and it may have helped though we didn’t have a way of proving it. So, I recently switched back to synthroid (not generic) since it was cheaper. My thyroid is now worse than ever and my TSH went from 21 to 45 to 65 over the past two months. Normal range is (0.5-5). I had an ultrasound and I’ve got cysts on my thyroid and my thyroid is very large. I went to an endocrinologist last week and told her about the Mono/lyme connection as well as having morgellons. She didn't seem convinced about any of it. (shocker, right?) After running a full thyroid panel of TSH, T3 and free T4, she said my TSH was down to 25...which is great, but still really high and how does it keep skyrocketing then plummeting? I asked her to put me back on armor thyroid or nature thyroid as John has recommended but she wanted to put me on other meds where she could control the T4 and T3 individually. I've only been on the two medicines (levoxyl and liothyronine) for 4 days so it's too early to comment on whether it is helping. Some of my questions for John are: Do you think my TSH could have dropped down to 25 from 65 in two weeks since they increased synthroid from .75 to 100 and I had started taking some more supplements in between my last dr visit then going to endocrinologist? Or do you think it's unrelated? Could the synthroid have caused such a massive drop in two weeks on its own? I've also read that adding iodine is very helpful for thyroid. However, if I've just started two new meds and plan on getting on your thymic formula in the next few weeks, should I worry about adding an iodine supplement also? I'm thinking no but am curious to get your thoughts. Can you please explain in a little more detail about the RNA DNA of the glandular materials that you discussed in some of the other thyroid medications such as Armour and Naturethyroid? I'm also curious to know how many other people are currently suffering from thyroid conditions as it seems from some of the previous threads that many of us have thyroid issues also? And, did your thyroid go out of whack prior to getting a lyme or morgellon's diagnosis? Thank you for all of your help and information on this topic. I really appreciate everyone's help and support as we journey through this dreadful nightmare aka morgellons. |

Sarah 2/14/2017 9:37:47 AM edit upload | Thank you for all of this information, John! It is very helpful to learn from someone that treats the body as a whole and not just the symptoms. AND...the fact that you know so much about Morgellons/Lymes, I'm going to consider you my go to thyroid guru from now on! |
the Sea 2/10/2017 3:28:52 PM | Hi Sarah Thanks for starting a thread. I have low thyroid too and take meds. I bought some iodine recently as I had read that it has fantastic benefits. But then read warnings to people who are on thyroid meds that it can send your body into a worse autoimmune state. So I stopped taking it. Blessings the Sea |
