Off antibiotics for now, testing coinfections

Well, started thyroid meds 2 weeks ago. NatureThroid brand, 1/4 grain. Can't say I see any effects yet. I may even feel worse? Hard to tell if it's the thyroid meds or it's being off antibiotics for first time in 8 or 9 months.

Have been off antibiotics for at least 3 weeks now. Plan is to shell out some hefty amounts of cash for a co-infection panel through Fry labs, which will also include a blood smear and IFA testing.

Since being off Ab, increased floaters in eyes and general eye irritation. Mainly left eye. Buzzing/numbness/vibration feeling in left foot. Kind of a pulsing feeling.

The persistent rash...

My rash was gone. Then it came back. Story of my life, honestly. Hahaha. When I drop below 2.5-3 mg prednisone, the rash on my shin returns with a vengeance. I'm really not even supposed to be on prednisone right now (meaning, my current doctor did not prescribe it for me, it's just leftover from 2009 treating myself Dr. Ashley style. Yes, I know you aren't supposed to mess around with prednisone. Yes, I'm aware of the dangers.). I don't have insurance and cannot afford to go see the doc whenever this rash rears its ugly head.

Anyways, I've read extensively about the link between thyroid antibodies and rashes and the connection is clear. When I see the doc next I might see what he thinks about treating euthyroid Hashimoto's. Not many docs are keen on the idea but it's worth a shot. I'm thinking... lowest dose of Armour thyroid, which is a combination of T4 and T3.
