lyme + thyroid

Post a new topicby tildenjane on Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:27 pm


Does anyone know if there is any connection between the thyroid at menopause and lyme? I have been dealing with chronic disseminated lyme for over 15 years (with my amazingly wonderful family doc who has assisted me in having a great life while dealing with this) and now have found my thyroid shutting down. At least my brain came back after starting synthroid and I am grateful my family doc noticed this/figured this out from the lack of eyelashes/eyebrows and so he asked about my energy levels (like chronic lyme folks have an abundance of energy!) and then did blood work for thyroid. Any insights here from anybody? or was it random coincidence?
