Hi and welcome to the group.

I hope you have been reading some of the posts in the file section here

and also the 'forum' webpage at birdmites.org. There is a lot of good

info. As far as your questions, there are not really specialists in this

afflction as many of us have found out by going to dermatologists. They

may misdiagnose this as scabies or think you are delusional when you

mention crawling on the skins, bites, irritation, etc.

You can get the mite ID'd through a local University entomology dept.

Some have had success doing this but it still does not help with

eradication.

You can read the informative medical articles at the 'research' webpage

on birdmites.org and find how some doctors have dealt with this problem.

Good luck here and stay vigilant, it does get better.

I THINK IS Ig A :

The direct secretion of secretory IgA onto mucosal epithelia represents the major effector mechanism of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/207891-overview

its IgA

Stimulation

of B lymphocytes leads to the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM

within the Peyer patches, preventing adherence of bacteria and viruses to the

epithelium, thus blocking entry to the subepithelial layers of the intestine.

Sorry Alan, but if you asking specifically about a Thyroid auto-immune disorder,

I don't see the test results you need to show us.They would have been done with

theses tests, as a part of a thyroid panel.They might be called " Thyroid

antibody profile Microsomal TPO-Ab " , or just TPO, and the other would be

" Thyroglobulin antibodies " . Thats what mine were called, had to look at my

tests.Other labs may have slightly different names.Should be right there just

below the ones you posted.Jim

I do not know exactly how to look at these tests, but I believe I

remember Moderators stating that in order to feel well, our test

values should be in the top1/3 of the rage of normal values. Your

levels seem very low for thyroid and it does not seem that you will

feel very well with those levels....

Alan,Top third on free T3. Did you change dose between tests on thyroid meds or type of meds? Just wondering.You will need to check for antibodies to know whether or not you have Hashimotos. I will let others let you know specific tests as when asked for that, they still did wrong test on me even second try on that. ARGH. So be very specific.... TPO will be positive and not helpful anyway if you have any other auto immune illness like RA or whatever. Pam

Hi, I was diagnosed with this about 8yrs ago and at that time was going to have

a surgery. I t turned out that because it was considered a pre existing

condition my insurance did not cover it. Living with this has been a struggle

because I have experienced significant hearing loss and my ear drains

constatntly and it really smells disgusting. I have started to experience

headaches and sometimes my jaw locks on that side. I'M scared because I am

afraid that after the surgery I won't be able to work, drive and just be normal.

I am 34 yrs old. Are these signs that I should be taking really serious and

consider having this surgery? How long is the recovery?

[Guest guest]

Um...yes...very serious. You DO NOT want the infection to give facial paralysis or even worse get into your brain.

You need to have it taken care of.
