Help...Does this sound like lyme?

Hi The king, welcome to our community!

Those symptoms certainly could be attributed to Lyme Disease. I'm not knowledgeable about heavy metal toxicity symptoms...so I don't know how many could be from that.

What lab did you get the Western Blot done?
The best lab for Lyme Disease testing is the Igenex lab in California. (You can order the test kit from them)

You should find a Lyme Literate Dr. and schedule an appointment (Is the Dr. you seeing just lyme friendly?...or Lyme literate?)

Let us know what the Dr. says on Monday. If you need help finding a LLMD, we can help you with that.

It would be helpful for you to read through the "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" thread (at the top of the page). It's full of good information.

Hi The king!
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

I'm not sure why Bolthouse Farms daily greens would set off a reaction like that - unless maybe you are allergic to one or more of the ingredients???

With the symptoms you have listed, it could definitely be Lyme - especially with the symptoms changing and moving around your body, that's actually quite common for Lyme. I'm glad you are seeing a doctor that you believe is good. You will want to use an ILADS trained doctor, not one that has self proclaimed themselves as a LLMD or an ID Doc (Infectious Disease Doctor), as ID docs believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your healing journey:

​If you haven't ​yet​, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it is packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more. And this is another good list of possible detoxing routines: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

Welcome!

Sorry for the reason you're here but glad you found us. It does sound like you might have Lyme and possibly one or more of the coinfections that often accompany Lyme.

Head pressure is a common symptom of Babesia which is one of those coinfections.

A good LLMD should be able to sort through all of your symptoms and get you started on appropriate treatment.

In the meantime, it might not be a bad idea for you to work towards a daily detoxing protocol...one that incorporates a variety of methods that address the various detoxification systems of the body. The site I'm linking below explains why and has quite the comprehensive list of detoxing methods:

Good luck!

I did 5 rounds of iv dmps and 2 vitality ivs which has high vitamin c. After that it didnt do much for me. I used to eat 5 ounces of cilantro and eat 5-6 raw garlic cloves daily and honestly it didnt mobilize much of anything. Cleared my eyes for a second that back to clouded. I can eat all the high thiol foods with no problems and eat chia seeds daily which should bind metals and toxins. My provoked mercury was a 10 (barely in the red) and even the doctor said that is low for my massive symptoms. I had maybe 2 other metals that were slightly elevated but nothing of real concern. If there is a metal issue hidden mercury may be the cause but since this started 5 months ago there isnt much difference. I have constant dizziness and pressure. in different areas of the head at different times. Unless I have the highest levels of metals all time and based off hair analysis and provoked very unlikely then there is something else as the main cause. I have also done lots of sweating throughout but not much relief. Everytime I eat no matter what I eat my head starts feeling like something is growing on it i get pressure and head pulling. I take glutagenics daily which is about 4-5 grams of glutamine I dont get much relief. Something that did stand out to me in the beginning but didnt think much of it was my regular dr gave me augmentin i took for 3 days and it slightly helped me but I stopped taking it becuz he only spend like 5 minutes with me and he didnt really explain anything. Some crazy symptoms is that my body auto detoxed itself it which felt like something died off and then I would urinate like 30 times Im not lying. When that happened I could feel fluid in my head emptying then refilling up everytime and it the same spot on the right side, its insane. That happened twice and it was bad. I also took optimag which has different magnesiums in it and it felt like something was litterally ripped off the right side of my brain and right lung. That created crazy dieoff and flooded my system. I didnt really get a redistribution even though I thought I would and be in real trouble. Throughout this whole process the right side of my head has been the biggest issue and since Ive stagnated and lyme can affect 1 side or the other that is how Think I have lyme. You would think after chelation and eating right that some symptoms of my head would be less but they are not. It feels like this crap is glued to my head at times. So what I want to do is detox these darn pathogens and in the process clear out whatever metals may be left. I just need someone to walk me through this.

Well , it does sound like the majority of your symptoms could be from these infections. Maybe that's why your not getting any relief from these other treatments.

And the immune system can't recover until you heal the Lyme because it's the Lyme that's keeping it low.
