Hi all,
Started my new rx and herbal support protocol 7 days ago. minocycline, Nystatin and Flucanozole, ashwaganda, curcumin, liposomal glutathione.

In the last three days, I've had episodes of real lyme rage, which I've never experienced before. I mean we're talking borderline Hulk transformation. Red in the face, heart pounding, adrenaline surging rage in seconds over really minor stuff, things I would usually just shrug off.

Weird thing is, with the exception of the glutathione and minocylcine, I've taken all the above before with no such effect.

Has anyone else had this happen?

LOL! I'm all of 5'1" and when those rages hit, I'm sure it looked kind of funny - me out whacking the daylights out of our poor trees - or wildly splitting firewood.

I'm not sure that I could pinpoint anything that ever 'set it off', it seemed to come and go on it's own accord, but there was no denying it when it hit! Like you describe - I went to Hulk status in 0.3 seconds!

I hope you can channel your Hulkiness at something harmless.

Traveler, in my mind you seemed so much taller! LOL

I'm the same height and my 15 year old son is 5'8" and definitely has the Lyme rage. It used to be that even at 5'1" I could project more power even when he was taller. When he was a toddler, I just picked him up and I weighted enough that I could outlast the rage.

ziege, I thought he had grown out of the rages until a bit ago. I have never been physically afraid before but it was definitely a Hulk moment. I know he would ever hurt me intentionally, but the thing with the rages is that there is no control.

In all the time I've been sick, my symptoms have come and gone. Frequently, we forget what they were and I would expect if you are anything like me you forget what they are until they occur again.

Until my son had the episode of rage, the puzzle pieces didn't fall in place. It was after that I reevaluated everything and started to see the pattern that wasn't obvious before. The bad headaches that come from no where and disappear after some time. My first symptom.

Take it as a sign that you are unwinding the clock that got you to this point in time.

Hope you have a better day,
Kim

Well, Traveller, sadly, I don't have a nordic god to beat the crap out of (gratuitous avengers reference), but I will try to channel the energy somehow, something better than the current "deep, cleansing breaths" through gritted teeth.

gkamom, gosh, that experience with your son sounds so upsetting. I hope he passes through that stage of his recovery quickly.

I think you may be right about unwinding the clock though. On Sunday I was woken up by pain under my cheekbones, really sharp, like some small toothy mammal was trying to gnaw its way out. This was a frequent symptom when I first began treating back in 2012 but I haven't felt it for over two years now.

Pffft, go figure, Lyme! Such an adventure in the weird and the unfathomable.

I love the Avengers! My favorite is RDJ as Iron Man, wicked sense of humor.

Both my son and I can turn into the Hulk and I can look back now and see our rages fed into each other. When I first started on here, before my tests were back, I asked lots of questions especially about kids. I'm a scientist and engineer by training so questions are a natural occurrence.

I thought at the time that my kids had escaped it because my daughter was on abx for about 18 months solid for ear infections and my son had rages as a toddler but had major growth in the last few years. I thought his immune system got stronger and it helped him beat it. I do think that it did help, but when he had that rage my brain started lining up all the puzzle pieces. I ended up with a list of symptoms I had early that are nonspecific and easy to brush off. We had already decided to get him tested and his pediatrician agrees. Treatment will be more problematic in terms of the pediatrician and I agreeing, but she has to go by what is the best data out there. But we have agreed to disagree before and we've been through a lot with my kids and she knows we both have the right motives.

Both my kids (a 23 yr old daughter and 15 yr old son), will be tested to see what needs to happen. My daughter is not symptomatic but better to know if she was exposed. My son is in way better shape than I am and definitely will be easier to treat.

Something I read a day or too ago said that Lyme has the ability to prevent the immune system from responding to other infections/organisms. That would mean once you start killing off Lyme other things might pop up.

I started with Olive Leaf first to provoke the Lyme and it stirred things up enough that after 4 days I had a fever blister. It had been at least 6 years since I had the last one and they always came when I was under stress. So stir everything up who knows what pops us a dominant at the time. I swear I've forgotten more symptoms than I even remember.

Have you seen the "Velociraptor training/Iron Man/Thor/Captain America" Meme? It's too funny!

Loved Age of Ulron and can't wait for Guardians 2! Very well built men in tight costumes! Awesome! LOL LOL

Have a great day,
Kim

GKAmom,
yeah, I've been a fan of RDJ since Chaplin. Amazing talent. The Stark character was starting to piss me off in Ironman 2, but I like what they did with him in 3. Seems to be back on the jerk track in Age of Ultron but I agree with you re the sense of humor. Joss Whedon saves some of the best lines for Stark/RDJ ("Please be secret door. Please be secret door. Please be secret door. [Finds secret door.] Yay!." and of course "Hit me in the back? Dick move, Banner."

I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. In terms of performance, I really like Tom Hiddlestone's Loki, both in the Thor and the Avenger films. But I think Chris Hemsworth utterly kicks ass as Thor in the two Avenger films, but oddly not so much in the Thor movies.

The dialogue is a lot better in the Avengers and Hemsworth is so good at the rolling Shakespearean (one could also say Shatneresque) delivery:
"The gates of hell are filled with the screams of his victims...ah, but not the screams of the dead, of course. No, ah, wounded screams! Mainly whimpering, a great deal of complaining and tales of sprained... deltoids and, ahhhh, gout."

At this stage, the character I like best is Steve Rogers/Captain America. The first movie was okay, and he wasn't really prominent in 1st Avengers, but in Winter Soldier, I love how he won't compromise his values even though, in the present day, that makes him a subversive. The following exchange made me want to stand up and cheer in the theatre.

Nick Fury: After New York, I convinced the World Security Council we needed a quantum surgeon threat analysis. For once we're way ahead of the curve.

Steve Rogers: By holding a gun at everyone on Earth and calling it protection.

Nick Fury: You know, I read those SSR files. Greatest generation? You guys did some nasty stuff.

Steve Rogers: Yeah, we compromised. Sometimes in ways that made us not sleep so well. But we did it so the people could be free. This isn't freedom, this is fear.

Nick Fury: S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the world as it is, not as we'd like to be. And it's getting darn near past time for you get with that program, Cap.

Steve Rogers: Don't hold your breath.

So I'm really looking forward to Civil War next year to see how this continues to play out. And Guardians 2 in 2017. I enjoyed the first one a lot, hope they can keep the momentum going.

Oh, and if you find yourself needing a well built men fix before these films come out, might I suggest English Premier League (NBCSN) or German Bundesliga (Fox sports) Soccer? Truly, some of the most beautiful men on the planet (both these leagues have players from all over the world).

Sorry about the super long post. Yes, I am a total geek.
