  Before I knew I had lyme, I told my md that i was expercing severe memeory problems

so she refereed me to a nuerologist.  I was going to cancel the appt, thinknig he wont be able to help

but got a friend to drive me and so away I went.  I purposely did not say anything about lyme.

He wanted me to fax over blood work, and to go see a neuropsychologist.

Has anyone gone to one and benefited from it?  I did not about this field prior.

I am going to my llmd appt next month, so of course that is where I truly need to be.

Hi hope2b,

From my own personal experience as well as others, the main cause of neuro problems is a build up of a toxin called ammonia.  Ammonia is one of the worse toxins and causes severe neuro problems.

I wish I could quote another doctor but I don't know of any other doctors who wrote articles about this so here we go again!   Below is a very interesting article by Dr. J. about Leaky Brain Syndrome and Ammonia:

http://beatinglymedisease.blogspot.com/2009/11/although-many-people-have-heard-of.html

A friend that helped me also had severe neuro problems and her husband researched like crazy and finally took his wife (my friend Jeanne) to Hansa Center (that is how I first learned of Dr. J.).  When she arrived her liver was soaked in ammonia from lyme bacteria die-offs.  Dr. J. worked on her for over 2 weeks just to get the ammonia out of her liver and body (she also had ammonia in her brain).

In my non-medical opinion, you don't need a neuro-psychologist who will probably end up prescribing more chemicals.  Instead, why not try Dr. J's Neuro-Antitox CNS/PNS Formula?  You can buy the apple cider based formula so if you are taking abx, there won't be any problems.

Let me know what you think.

I wouldn't recommend going to see a neuro-physchologist either, as if they don't understand Lyme, they will put you on

meds that most likely won't help you heal since you will have to detox from those meds as well.

We've talked about your need to detox before to help out with the brain issues as well as other symptoms. Have you been detoxing like we talked about?

If not, please start. It really will help. There is no quick fix here, no magic pill to help you suddenly be able to function. It all

takes work, some hard work like detoxing every day (dry skin brushing & detox soaks), drinking good water and enough of it, eating well and resting.

I've had severe memory issues (lost both short and long term memory), as well as having severe cognitive issues (couldn't

remember Hubby's name for days, couldn't follow instructions and so on), and yet I have it all back - well I still have some

memories that have to return, but I'm sooo much better!! I've done this with herbs, detoxing, eating well and exercising once I could tolerate it.

Please think this over carefully before going to an appt with that doc.

OK I'm new to this site. I would appreciate all the information
I can get was diagnosed with lyme in June of 2011, I'm on
antibotics, and have several of the co-infections. I suffer from
anxiety, really bad. I just feel overwhelmed with all the stuff
he wants me to take. My doctor knows what im going through
because he has lyme. It just scares me sometimes because
i shouldn't read to much because of the anxiety. Thats very
interesting about the ammonia in the brain.

Hi Moon61!
Welcome to our site! I'm so glad you found us!

Are you seeing a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD)?

Anxiety is often directly linked to Lyme disease as part of the disease. If you are having significant issues with this, you should talk to your doctor about putting you on some anti-anxiety medication. There's no need to suffer through this!

The anxiety that I had made most things really overwhelming! But with meds to help control the anxiety until I had been in treatment long enough to heal from the anxiety just did wonders for me!! My anxiety kept me from even going out to the grocery store at times! With treatment though, I got back to where I could function once again!

Do you know what co-infections you have? Most knowledgeable LLMD's know that a person likely won't heal from Lyme if they haven't treated the co-infections of at least Babesia and Bartonella first.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions here! Once you get your anxiety under control, then you can work on educating yourself on these diseases that you now have. A better informed patient makes a better patient!

Thanks Traveler,
Yes I do see a LLAD Dr. My co-infections are Babesia, Bartonella, Chlamydia,
Mycoplasma, HHV6, My anxiety is health anxiety im afraid of getting all kinds of
auto-immune diseases. I hate anxiety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the next thing is trying
to stay on a good diet.... I suffer from yeast/fungal so hard to find things to
eat... I really need someone to monitor my eating habits. Just want this
nightmare to end....I've had enough.... I'm gonna try the detox bath got everything
but the brush ordered it from the website you guys recommended..

If you have been in treatment for 5 years and have yet to
With the detox bath, go slowly. Start off with luke warm water, and only stay in the water for about 7 minutes. Doing a detox bath will get the toxins out in the blood stream where they can cause your symptoms to increase if your body isn't effectively expelling these toxins. Easing in to detoxing will help you avoid those really bad herxes.

Have you seen this website for Candida diet- it's one I've used a couple of times - sorry, you'll have to copy and paste this as the link won't work: http://altmedicine.about.com/od/popularhealthdiets/a/candidadiet.htm

Believe me, I do understand how hard it can be to get through this, but try to be patient - you are no longer alone and you have friends here that can help with suggestions!!
