Brainstorm Nervous System Help

Ever try Bicillin? My dr who i think is brilliant uses it for neuro lyme and its much less invasive than IV Rocephin, which is usually used for neuro lyme. Unfortunately it's a painful shot and I'm also allergic to penicillin Also he claims it must be used as a monotherapy. Reason it works is because its under the radar and doesnt awaken their defenses, but if you add another antiobiotic into the mix that benefit is gone.

I've seen others say the same thing:

As for supplements, on Lions Mane/Cordyceps/Gouteng for nerves. Cant really tell if they do anything. Thing that has helped my nerves the most was that fast I did last week and limiting processed foods, as its directly reduced inflammation. Very curious to see if this glutamine and bovine colostrum i ordered, if by helping to repair my gut, i get an actual tangible reduction in symptoms. I've been unable to attain a real benefit w/ pretty much any supplement I've tried yet.

I did Bicillin shots for my neuro Lyme, and it did nothing for me. I was so hopeful that it would work, but it was another big fail. :-(

I've heard certain "b" vitamins can be helpful.

Always a good question, WBF. I'm in my new house, where the humidity level on every floor has been kept at a parched 40% since a four-week mold remediation before we moved in. All new furniture and mattresses, new appliances and vents, threw away tons of things, dicey belongings (books, clothes) have been vinegared then sunned then sealed in plastic bins in the garage, mountains of money spent to do away with mold. No food sources of mold. My best shot at mold exposure probably is just being outdoors.

That said, I still worry. It would be truly awful if somehow this house has a new issue or if somehow we brought an old issue with us.

My Great Plains test last year showed only elevated levels of a mycotoxin not produced by my previous house. (An ERMI showed that house had a lot of "harmless" molds.) My doctor concluded that my mold exposure was from a past exposure. The house we moved into had been managed stupidly, so there was mold in the attic and basement (both unfinished, thank goodness) but the whole house was remediated (we even opened up ceilings to vacuum out and seal inside the walls and between the floors!). I will collapse into a pile of hopeless sobbing indefinitely if my current house turns out to be the problem....

For anyone keeping track, my neuro stuff is easing up and morphing into connective tissue pain. Never a dull moment.

Thanks. Luckily my partner is on-board with all of this. To people not familiar with mycotoxin illness it sounds totally bananas. It felt wasteful to give away so much, but I've never bought new furniture really, so honestly that was fun. I also finished the new furniture with AFM SafeCoat before bringing it in.... Obviously this was back when I felt pretty energetic!

Thanks for the support.

Makes total sense to ask, Kitkate! Yes, they are great mattresses - organic and nontoxic. Cost a bloody fortune, but I hope they will last a while! We have them sealed in six-sided waterproof covers, also. We opted only for furniture made with solid wood (no glues, particleboard, MDF, etc.) and Certi-pur foam. The search process was not easy, but I hope that being mindful about this stuff will pay off. I am grateful that I was able to make these considerations, and I do know what a privilege it is to be able to afford to.
