Jennifer said:I also told her I dropped the thyroid because I felt like my cholesterol was far too low to be taking it. She agreed that was the right choice. I then asked her how long she thought I'd need to be on the Mino and she said because I had been dealing with the infection for so long, it'll be months before I'm off it.
Jennifer-
I'm sorry if I ask questions already clearly addressed upthread.
But,
what was your reasoning in dropping the thyroid supp?
How much were you taking and what brand/dosage?
I'll be curious to see your TSH--what has it been in the past?
Have you ever had somebody do the Achilles Reflex Test on you?
With your doctor and the minocycline:
what does she see as the nature of the infection?
Is it a gut infection in her view?
Caused by the same critter specified in your Genova test?
If you are going to have thyroid tests done,
you might search around the forum for thyroid-related tests Peat likes to use.
(I've been searching likewise as I plan to have some tests;
Mittir, I believe, sortuv rounded those up in some of his posts in the past.)
Great to hear the positive notes!
