I have been feeling very optimistic today - have more of a sense of well being and feelings of my old self back.
So far today the pain has been slight and same with the vibrations/buzzing that usually plague me
Could the buhner protocol actually be working?
I think I'll go out in the yard and plant the bedding plants I bought yesterday.

Almost scared to jinx it lol.

That's great! How long have you been on the protocol?

Two weeks and a day. Not very long, and I started low dose and have been ramping up.
I am currently taking 10 caps knotweed, 6 caps cat's claw, 1 cap sib ginseng
I will be going to 9 caps cat's claw in a couple days, then 2 caps sib. ginseng.

After that I will add some serrapeptase - I think it's a cyst buster.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'd say enjoy it while you have it. Working in you yard sounds like a good idea to me! Enjoy!

Have you done any abx?

Are you seeing an LLMD also?

I did a couple weeks of doxy in March - but not long enough, or strong enough - I had to beg my doc for them....

I am still undiagnosed - finally seeing a LLND (no LLMD's in Canada I am told) in a couple weeks for Igenex testing.

No, I didn't herx - if I did I didn't recognize it. I have a bad time every late afternoon and evening...so I don't know if I'd recognize a herx.

My protocol went something like this:
Started knotweed - 1 cap 3 X day .
After 5 days went to 2 caps 3X day knotweed.
After 5 days added Cat's Claw 1 cap 3 X day.
5 days later,went to Cat's claw 2 caps 3 X day
3 days later, added Sib. Ginseng 1 cap daily
3 or 4 days later bumped up knotweed 3 caps 3X day
In a few days I will bump up my cat's claw to 3 caps 3X day.
then Sib. Ginseng 1 cap 2X day.

I think after that I will add Serrapeptase - to bust open the cysts.
Maybe then I'll herx.

I am also dry brushing - usually daily and having epsom salt bath.
Drink lots of water - some glasses have organic lemon squeezed in.
trying to get more sleep, trying to relax, and have been doing light cardio exercise.

But - it's too early to tell if I'm just having a good day, or if i am really getting better.

It's almost 4:00 Pacific time, and I'm still doing pretty good - haven't cried yet, or even felt like it...my husband came home for lunch and hugged me and usually that triggers me....but not today.

Went downtown, did some grocery shopping, and now I'm going to make dinner....

It's a good day so far...but I'm entering the "witching hour" now...so we'll see.

Hi Girlie,

Do you mind sharing who your LLND is? I am also in Canada and did not even know these were in Canada, but am very interested now. What are your thoughts on him/her also? Are they knowldgable on the matter?

Strategy92 - What Province are you from? I am from BC - there are several in Victoria, and also several in Vancouver.
I have not met her, I will in two weeks when I get my Igenex testing done in Victoria.
There was a LLMD practicing here in BC that retired - very knowledgeable - and apparently is still educating ND's who want to learn how to treat Lyme disease. I was told that the ND that I will be seeing has consulted with him.
As far as I know there are not any LLMD's in BC (or Canada) - or none that will admit it.
The LLND in Victoria that I am seeing has prescribing rights, so she will be able to prescribe abx.
I'm hoping she is looking at symptoms, not just test results.

Strategy92 - I don't think we're supposed to post any Dr names on this site.
But, if you're from BC and are looking for one, I could post the name of the clinic maybe that she works out of?

Girlie, you can email her the name if her email is enabled in her profile or she can email you if yours is and hers isn't.

I hope you enjoyed your good day.
