I wonder if anyone could help shed some light on what might be going on with my Thyroid at the moment?
I have not been on any medication for 2 years since being overmedicated and having a medical emergency for Thyroid storm. Since then I managed to use nutritional techniques to balance the thyroid and keep it at decent level of TSH 1.5 and middle of the road T3 and T4.
I will include full medical history below as there are some factors such as comorbid Lyme that may apply, do I have hashimotos?
Other results/factors going on:
High Cholesterol & triglycerides
High ALT/IGM
Low Vitamin D (despite summer)
Borderline Low Creatine Kinase
Borderline High Thyroglobulin antibodies
High Immunoglobulin E
Low Testosterone, Oestradiol, FSH.
Medication and supplements used recently:
Nortriptyline
Bisoprolol
Loratidine
Melatonin
Oxymatrine
PEA
Lyme, EBV, Coxsackie, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, bartonella
- H2S SIBO
- Intestinal candida
- Leaky gut
- High Pyraglutamate
- Thrombocytes raised
- High nk cells
- Low CD cells
2003ish: Chronic migraines requiring MRI.
2014 Burning out - working in London.
Dec 2014 - Wisdoms removal. GA. Cocodamol/naproxen.
Spring 2015 - felt downshift from Amoxicillin (for exposed cavity)
Dec 2015 - Virus (later worked out Coxsackievirus) - flu/fever followed by costochondritis, reactive arthritis (Lyme), Bursitis, Pleurisy/carditis "devil's grip". On heaps of cocodamol + naproxen.
Jan 2016 - CFS/Fibromyalgia.
2016 - pushed through 1 year full time work & social life.
Intermittent Ataxia or cerebellitis + spontaneous falls. TMJ.
Dec 2016 Mega M.E. crash - housebound.
2017 - slight improvement with slowing down but moved home. Fibromyalgia/pain improved.
2018-2019 Up and down, steady 90% housebound
2019 Doxycyline and LDN set me back instead of helping
2020 Spring. Doing well on T3/NDT, until overmedicated & big traumatic hospital visit for Thyroid storm.
2020 First Cov exposure - more fatigued for a month then not quite back to before
2021 second exposure - Long Covid symptoms & hospital rigmarole.
Quite significant set back + awful POTs symptoms.
