HORMONES & LYME
Increasingly, Lyme patients are being diagnosed with hormonal imbalances that are complicating their illness. Because hormones are important for regulating the immune system, treatment of these imbalances can be a necessary component to treating Lyme disease.
It is worthwhile for Lyme patients to be evaluated for thyroid, adrenal and pituitary disorders by a physician knowledgeable in these conditions. Typically, endocrinologists are the physicians who diagnose and treat hormone irregularities. However, it can be difficult to find an endocrinologist who uses bio-identical hormones and/or growth hormone, and many doctors in the holistic field are taking this approach. Patients and compounding pharmacies are good places to turn for referrals.
