Read about the THYROID connection with LYME DISEASE. Lyme is more common than you think. Many thyroid patients are actually discovering that they have Lyme, including two of our own ThyroidChange volunteers. Please, if you are going in circles with your health, consider seeing a Lyme-Literate doctor. A few things about Lyme: - You do NOT have to remember getting bit or develop a bulls-eye rash. Many patients never develop a rash. - You do NOT have to have joint pain. Lyme is known as the great imitator and can have 100s of other symptoms which often imitate thyroid disease or can cause thyroid problems. -The standard Western Blot and ELISA tests for Lyme are highly flawed and will only catch a small number of Lyme cases. - Most doctors do not know how to properly screen, diagnose, or treat Lyme disease. To find a Lyme Literate Doctor near you, please contact: TBDA at tbdalliance.org/diagnosing-tbds/find-a-medical-professional or ILADS at ilads.org . - Lyme is found in every state and in every continent except Antarctica.
