Hi All,

My name is Michelle.  I first posted on the Lyme board and then the MS board.  I have symptoms that are similar to both diseases, but I think I have something unique that could indicate thyroid or another autoimmune disease (see below). 

Here goes:

September 1983: Diagnosed with allergy to cold (rain-drops, snow, cold water at beach and pool) and pressure (elastic, tight clothing, shoes, etc).  I seemed to outgrow this by my early twenties.

October 1993: Bell's Palsy- left side of face paralyzed for 3 weeks.

In March 2009, I had a full physical done with blood results for all levels, including Thyroid (2.36), Cholestorol, blood counts, vitamins, etc.

In April 2009: I suddenly became EXTREMELY sensative to the sun (not heat).

In August 2009: Numbness on left side from shoulder to foot.  New blood results- abnormal ranges for Vitamin D (makes sense because I've avoided the sun all summer).  Cholestorol is up 60 points and is now just one point under the high-limit; Thyroid is at 4.86 (on a scale of .45 to 4.5).  MRI shows 5 lesions- 4 on brain and 1 on spine.  All small.  Lyme test negative.

Let me know what you make of this.  Please be honest because I just want to get to the bottom of my illness and also figure out what type of doctors to see.  Currently, I am seeing a nuerologist and will have a spinal tap this week.  Should I see an endochronolgist too?  I am also seeing a Lyme expert this week too.  Thanks for your help :)

Michelle
