Have not been on in a while. Went to the hospital two days ago with bad stomach pains . Think I may have been having a gallbladder attack. The doctor said they found sludge and said they were going to take out my gallbladder right there but than the surgeon came in and said that it wasn't an emergency and I was sent home with pain meds and told to see a doctor. they said my gallbladder will most likely have to come out . I am so mad. If it has to come out why did they not just take it out like they were going to in the first place.

As of yesterday my thrush is back after weeks without any and I seem to be going down hill fast. ears are both hurting and just feeling lousy. Throat is getting sore. I really thought I was seeing a little light at the end of a long tunnel, and now I'm crashing again. No thrush and no vaginal infections for weeks is something I have not had in two years. I thought I finally started to get better. I'm just so upset, really need someone to talk to.

I do not go back to the doctor for two weeks . Don't really Know what else I can do. Financially we are at an end. no more money. I don't Know If I should try Antibiotics again, and if I did what to take. Maybe I should just ask for more yeast medicine if I can get it, my insurance does not want to cover anymore this year.

The yeast went away after the three days of Cipro that made me really sick. after the bad effects of the Cipro went away so did the yeast for awhile. Anyone with yeast get better after Antibiotics.

Shame about gallbladder troubles, and the losses in your healing progress. I know how it is. Not in terms of the gallbladder stuff, but definitely the rest.

While I've been trying for more like a couple years, I've spent these last 9 months REALLY giving this treatment stuff my all - well, almost (some days, I can't help but be a little lazy), and, after quite a few ups and downs, I'm back where I started.

I told myself that 2015 would be the year, but.. I guess not.

Not really sure where to go, when it comes to treating Lyme/co, so I'm kind of just continuing to use what I have been, which isn't really working anymore, while I focus on my gut and adrenals for a bit.

After that, I've got one more provider of herbal products that I want to try, before I say **** it and get some abx sourced from a foreign country, seeing as I couldn't afford to see an LLMD AND pay for medicines/supplements.

So, yeah, sucks, not having the answers and/or the money to make use of the answers.

As for the yeasties, have you tried antifungals? Diflucan, nystatin? Anyone with yeast get better with abx? I'm pretty sure antibiotics have the opposite effect, but.. maybe? I feel like those people would be the slim minority though. We'll see, when others respond.

What else can ya do? I don't know, keep trying, 'til you can't anymore. That's what I'm doing, that's what a lot of us are doing actually. You included. Is hell, huh?

*shrugs*

Good luck, strength to ya.

Antonio,
Thank you for answering

I have tried antifungals, am on nystatin now and have taken every antifungal they make even IV for two months. Nothing working.

I can not afford a LLMD either and there are none anywhere close by anyway. Really don't feel Like I'm going to make it these days and am very scared. do not Know where to turn. Just sit and cry lately. I feel so alone. I come here once and awhile but don't really Think anyone can help me. Think I'm pretty much at the end here.

Ginger,
I really strongly suggest you repost with the title Help with gallbladder issues.

Surgery will send your Lyme spinning.

A quick search found this
http://dramyneuzil.com/natural-remedy-for-gallbladder-sludge-and-stones/
http://peoplesrx.com/ask-the-nd-getting-rid-of-gallbladder-sludge-and-stones-naturally/
I think the two articles are very similar but at the end I believe there are some different suggestions for natural remedies.

I'm thinking that those on here with a great knowledge of herbs will be able to help you with lots of great suggestions. If for some reason they are not---email me please. I have to have blood work done Thursday or Friday morning and will do a few errands while I'm out. I will go to either Whole Foods or Sprouts( a less expensive version of whole foods). I can ask the expansive supplement department specialist at either store what products would really be beneficial for someone dealing with your level of gallbladder sludge.

Ginger-We can help you, you just have to let us. We all feel alone often. You are by no means alone in your feelings. For a long time I rarely posted, just read posts that mirrored my feelings. It helped me know that what I was feeling was common and that was comforting.

Why us? The saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is the biggest piece of crap ever.
We would all have herculean strength. We could make billions making "Age of Lyme and the Co Infectors -coming to theaters in 2017. The Villain we would destroy would be the CDC :-)

Sometimes it takes hitting close to bottom to reach out and ask for help. I'm so sorry you are dealing with so much pain right now but glad you asked for help. If you don't post a new thread tomorrow I will, so please keep checking back.

I have been sick for 4 years but just recently diagnosed so I can not give advice on what to do. BUT! PLEASE know I read what you wrote! Hearing that you feel alone and cry a lot breaks my heart! You are NOT alone!! While I may not be able to offer advice or knowledge about this disease I am willing to exchange emails with you if you want to chat/cry/laugh/vent/send blank emails back and forth bc the energy to write is not there but knowing there is a person on the other end that understands the pain and the hundred unwritten words "spoken" in a blank email can give some comfort.... Let me know if I can help! Sending hugs your way!

Thank you for your responses
I really don't even know what to say to anyone anymore. nothing seems to help me and I feel like I am wasting everyone's time. I am on so many supplements I can't even put them all down right now would take to long . Treated yeast for over two years now without any success. That's how I found out I had Lyme . Docter finally tested after nothing was helping.
Tried Antibiotics but yeast got even worse and had very bad reactions to all after no more than a week or two. now i'm trying Herbs and after 3 or 4 months no improvement and seem to have gotten worse in the last week. Gallbladder pain still bad tonight. I read taking out the gallbladder is better for lyme patients because the Bacteria sits in the lining of the gallbladder.

You're on nystatin currently? That's good. But, maybe you need a systemic antifungal (diflucan)? Nystatin's mainly just for the gut and whatnot. It may be working as intended there, but the yeast elsewhere in your body that it's not targeting just keeps it coming back.

You said you've been trying to treat it for a couple of years now, so maybe you've already given the diflucan a shot, but figured I'd mention it, just in case.

Yeah, again, I know how you feel. I don't know if I'm gonna make it either. The way my life's been thus far, even before Lyme, it's telling me, no, probably not. I mean, that's just how it's been, it's as if I've lived just to get to beat down.

I think about giving up everyday, multiple times.

But, I just tell myself to keep going, try all my options, however limited. That way, if all fails, I lose the faith, and decide to, well, lose myself, at the very least I can say I tried. Really tried. Nobody will be able to contest it.

You, you've been through a lot. I couldn't imagine having to deal with such a case of yeast, on top of everything else. That prevents you from taking the abx, which you're wanting to treat Lyme/co with, which is terrible.

I mean, I got a lot of problems too, but, honestly, if just one more jumps into the pile, I'm liable to come crashing down. That said, I'm glad to see you're still here, after all of that.

I only wish I had some real answers for you. I'm sorry.

Hope we can see each other here a month from now, or even a year, and that, when that day comes, things are better for the both of us.

Guess we'll see.

Ginger-It took a bit of looking but here are two good threads on yeast and anti fungals. Chappelle is a pharmacist and Pirouette is the forums rock star on the subject.

https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3278548

https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3262112 Don't focus on the title. The thread goes from the question asked to the information you need.

Hope that helps get you back on track.

Ginger I'm sorry you are going through a really tough time. But don't feel alone because you are definitely not! While I can't provide any advice on what to do re your medical situation, I can offer you moral support. Trust me I've had my down times and have cried in front of family several times in the last week. We are all going through difficulty with this bloody disease but know that you are part of the same boat we're in! Gotta keep swimming my friend, it's the only way to survive. Hang in there and turn that frown upside down (I know, corny!)

Hugs to you.
