A little word out about my absence

Hugs! I get this now and then too but it usually lasts a day or two. It's a miserable feeling, I am so so sorry you are dealing with a bad run of it! We are always around if you need to vent or need some support. Don't be afraid to get some help if it gets really bad. The ER may not give you the right drugs for babs but they may be able to give you something to at least temporarily calm your systems down. Hang in there!

Oh July, I am so sorry. This sucks. I remember well the vibrating. It was like having a cell phone inside me. And, it got very nerve racking.

Hang in there and prayers for you.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, sending big hugs. I agree with maybe getting something to calm you down...or maybe stopping treatment and just detoxing for a day or two?

Girlie, I never started the Hout, I thought maybe Kudzu was a better idea, but I've been awful about taking anything but my blood pressure meds on a regular schedule.

So pmm, that kind of answers your suggestion, which is one I would normally give. Actually what I might do, is take my 3 herbs and in a couple of hours, take a charcoal cap.

Girlie and Traveler can attest to a stress level here at home that I can't seem to get under control. Still, a healthier person would be able handle it...I've gone through much worse and stayed quite functional while I was in remission.


All of you that have had similar symptoms-it's been some kind of stress that brought it on, or do you have no idea?

Girlie, I'll have to check the Bart idea and see if I can figure out if there is an angle from that direction I can try. Thanks, all of you lovely people!


ETA:, I love you too, Jenny...Thank you for the hope!

July,

Hugs and prayers to you.

I am SO SORRY you are having such a hard time of it. You help so many on here so I'm thankful you posted. I worry about you mods never reaching out, helping us, while you are going through your own stuff.

What are you taking right now? Do you need anything? We can help.

Stress really makes everything so much worse. Trav, kept nudging me about it but I kept thinking I could handle it. Plus there are some stressors that we don't have a choice in the matter. Also, what we could handle before Lyme seems quite different.

I agree with Chick, if things get bad, no shame in getting something to calm your nerves/anxiety until you are through your rough patch.

Feel better July. Hang in there. We're here. xo

Hugs!!!! I hope you can figure it out!

What a warm wonderful feeling you all have given me.

I was reading them off to a friend and I was having a hard time not crying reading all of your messages. I'm such a blubbering puss. I am really touched!

Hahaha, I did Girlie. And I can see that! How lucky I am to have come to this forum and met so many fine and caring people!

1000Daisies, thank you so much! Amazes and touches me again that you remember those details.....I am often in such a hurry to make a reply to someone I forget and just make the quick post, which doesn't put up my signature, which by the way after all this time I see there is actually an option for that below.

LOL. I have tunnel vision, apparently!

Julymorning so sorry you are not feeling well. I pray that this will pass soon. I don't think the kudzu is going to help, so perhaps if you can do try the houtt. Again I truly do hope that this passes soon.

As far as the mistakes...lol...we all make them so don't give it a second thought.

Julymorning, I really do hope you feel better soon and find something that works to help you feel better. I appreciate all of the good advice you have given me. You have been a great resource. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know.

Fluconazole (for yeast and eye floaters) helped me immensely but for some reason in the back of my head I am under the impression that you only do the naturals? If so that is all fine and well, but I am hardly the expert on natural remedies.

I even had to stop the Fluconazole after one week and take a short break before I went back on and I tolerated it better doing this. I think Ive tolerated a few things much better the second time around as it was too powerful, or I was too sick, or was herxing. I had bad side effects from everything initially but it got better.

A good cry is stress relieving and whatever you do please try not to stress out too much as it seems stress always makes us worse and gives these infections an upper hand.

There is no shame in relieving the anxiety and I stopped trying to reduce my Xanax even though I want to be off of this med, I decided its better to wait and level out the dose for now. I find Passion Flower tea and Valarean to be calming on the naturals.

I heard eating nothing but pineapple for 3 days is cleansing but I don't know if that is too much sugar for you. I am grasping for straws at this point so I will stop babbling now. Please know that I am praying for you.

PS I know you probably know this already but try to take that charcoal cap as far from the other stuff as possible. I used to know I would wake in the middle of the night at 3am so those were by my bed for that time so they wouldn't negate what I was taking and I did them every other day or so.

Well a good cry cleanses us sometimes. When I get the nerves firing on all cylinders feeling, anxious buzzy, fight or flight, whatever the crap nervous breakdown run away from my kids and husband and live in the mountains like a sasquatch it seems to have no real trigger. I can feel it hiding in the background now. My skin has that icky burny/tingly feeling all up and down my arms and hands.
I think the REAL remedy for that feeling is a Hawaiian vacation in a lovely all inclusive resort and spa. Just sitting here dreaming for a moment. Ahhh, feel that sand between your toes and the sun on your face? Just be careful you don't burn if you are taking abx. lol!
But seriously, this is what Netflix is for, a good binge of some show to take you our of yourself for a bit.

You guys should all know that I was starting to 'calm down', is the only way I can put it. My mind was working well enough to tackle a bunch of new questions on here. And then the friend/helper/houseguest's portable propane heater started to throw off additive fumes that were so strong in the living room they got to me in my room with the door closed.

That began to reverse everything. Have you guys ever smelled the additive in propane (because it doesn't have a smell of it's own). Kind of a mixture between skunk roadkill, sulfur and rotten onions.
Headache ensued.

Then there was another incident between him and I a little while ago and sure enough, I slipped more and caught myself making another mistake on the board, which I fixed. Time to watch myself even more.

I have a situation here at home that needs changing if I'm to get better, because stress is the major factor with my immune system.



Krimpet, I need to refresh my mind about the uses of Hout. I did knock my Kudzu dose down after going back on everything today, because my eyes have taken on either a bloodshot or odd coloration that I'm not sure isn't trying to be yellow. I called today to get the doctor to order and CBC panel order sent in for me. I'm going Friday. I want to see what my liver enzymes are like, for sure.

July so sorry to hear you feel unwell. Do you think Passion Flower could help? To put your mind at ease.
And vibrating, I also think it is Bartonella.

I don't know about the Passion Flower. I'm not anxious, I'm just strung reeaaally tight. You're the third person at least to say Bart and not Babs. I also today asked one of the nurses to dig out my tick disease test from 2015 and make a copy of it for me. I never did actually see it. Well, other than the doctor pulling up the report on his computer and swinging the monitor screen in my direction, 2 feet away from me and not giving me a chance to get my glasses out of my purse.

And thanks Blueberry! It's a blessing you are helping mod right now.

Krimpet, I want to thank you about the "mistakes" comment. And Girlie you too, as you both know what a ditz I've been lately on the board.
