Hi Kandee,

The Gamma shots would be for the EBV not thyroid. It help build your immune system. My mom is going to start them too. She also has EBV.

As for the Thyroid meds....two weeks ago he changed me to the Armour...that was before he tested the blood. Now he has the blood work back and could tell the dose he gave me wasn't going to be enough. Now I'm on 1 and 1/2 grains. He said that if I'm not starting to feel any better in two weeks then he'll want to do the Gamma shots....so we can give the EBV a boost. Hes not sure as to witch one is giving me more trouble the thyroid or EBV. He doesn't want me to do more that I need to. My body is making the antibodies to fight off the EBV and I almost have control of it.

Yea!!!!

Anyway....I sure hope the Armour will help. I'm pretty sure it will. He told me once we get it under control it should pretty much stay that way. I just think I'm not one for Synthoid...Im very happy to be on Armour. He said that one of my levels is at a 4 and he wants to get it to a 1 and then one of the levels is at a 1 and he wants it at a 1.25
Does this make scense to you? I get confused this is all pretty new to me....all the t4, t3, tsh levels!!!! OH...I am going to get a copy of my levels form them...I will continue to get those everytime Im tested too.

Thanks for your help Kandee!!! And your so sweet to be thinking of me!!! {{{{HUGS}}}} I hope you feel better soon. You've been going through a ruff time haven't you? Damn thyroid!!!!!

OH I almost forgot...I'm not on anything for the EBV except for high potency vitamin B and regular vitamins. Theres not really a med that you take for it. Except the Gamma shots....we'll see if I'll be taking those in a few weeks!!!! HOPE not! I'd rather not!!!

Well I've got to run.....take care!!!!
