Just this morning I read the email the naturopath sent me regarding questions, the one my spouse was freaking out I shouldn't see, and my therapist said she would prefer I see someone who takes health insurance. Of everyone I have talked to - he makes the most sense, and answers my questions thoroughly! My spouse thinks he is lying about having had Lyme --- but why would someone do that.
Going to research what herbs to treat for bartonella and babesia in that now that I am researching symptoms, these seem viable, and don't want to wait for the IDD results.
Note to naturopath and his feedback.
IN THE NOW
Primary focus - nutrition and recovery from aneurysm and bladder infection. My weight was 95 lbs this morning. At the beginning of January, it was 106. Really feeling beat up. Another sleepless night last night. WHEN WE SPEAK, WILL REVIEW PERSPECTIVES AND DIRECTION REGARDING THESE TWO ISSUES - AS WELL AS SLEEP. ONCE WE DO CONSULT, I WILL FOLLOW-UP WITH YOU WITH EMAIL SUMMARY AND DIRECTION.
Process
aneurysm repair TIME FRAME AND ACTUAL PROCESS - WHAT OCCURS ? WHAT PRACTICES / MEDS ARE NEEDED TO DO THIS? CAN DISCUSS WITH CONSULT. THERE ARE SPECIFIC NATURAL ITEMS THAT CAN ACCELERATE BLOOD VESSEL AND TISSUE REPAIR.
The surgeon was well pleased with treatment of the aneurysm.
(I was curious about causes and my spouse's brothers story of a friend who had headache for years, discovered 2 aneurysm in each carotid artery, and diagnosed with Lyme - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2170070/) CURIOUS IS GOOD, QUESTIONS GOOD. THESE ARE QUALITIES OF THOSE THAT IMPROVE THEIR CONDITION. IN 60-80 % OF LYME CONDITIONS, THERE ARE CO-INFECTIONS - BARTONELLA, BABESIA, ETC. REGARDING BARTONELLA, THIS INFECTION PREFERS THE ENDOTHELIUM OF THE BLOOD VESSEL WALLS AS WELL AS OUTSIDE AND CYTOPLASM OF RED BLOOD CELLS TO INHABIT, THUS , IN THE BLOOD VESSELS, CREATING A COMPROMISED WALL TISSUE AND INFLAMATORY CONDITION AND POSSIBLE WEAKENING. ADD IN THE BIOFILM THAT THE BARTONELLA INHABITATES ATTACHED TO BLOOD VESSEL WALLS, AND YOU HAVE NOT ONLY THE WEAKENED WALL ITSELF , BUT A BIOFILM BLOCKAGE OF THE FLOW OF O2, AND NUTRIENT FLUIDS TO VITAL AREAS SETTING UP POTENTIAL STROKE CONDITIONS - THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF "BRAIN FOG", AND DIMINISHED BRAIN FUNCTION. THIS CAN BE REVERSED WITH SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS FOCUSING ON DEGRADING BIOFILM WITH SPECIFIC ENZYMES AS WELL AS STRENGTHENING AND INCREASING THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE WALL ITSELF.
Post-procedure
Developed a raging bladder infection, Urgent Care 2x, ER 1x following directions of on call nurse of my insurance company. The urgent care doctor couldn't help with some of the symptoms, but helped with what he could figure out. Gave me a prescription for Sulfamethoxazole-TMP Took 1st dose, so discombobulated, for second dose, didn't read instructions right and took 2. Up all night with worsening of pre-existing conditions and other stuff popping up. First night, only thing that helped was following the nurse's advice to take warm baths. I was in and out all night. When I saw the Urgent Care Dr., I asked what bacteria the anti-biotic killed. He said, it isn't used to treat Lyme. I was curious about that.

http://www.anapsid.org/lyme/matthewgoss/drugs.html - BINGO! FAMILIAR WITH RESULTING INFECTIONS DUE TO IMBALANCE OF POSITIVE BACTERIA AND OVERGROWTH DIEOFF OF OTHER FUNGI, ETC. THAT CAN CAUSE INFECTIONS WITHIN ELIMINATION CHANNELS.
I was also curious about why the bladder infection was so gnarly. When I passed a wad of blood/mucus/tissue something, and there continued to be blood in the urine, and strands of bloody something, and the pain to pee was at a 9, the 24/7 nurse told me I needed to see someone within the hour. i was curious why the epsom salt/baking soda/aloe vera juice/sea salt baths was what really brought relief to that area. ONCE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) BEGINS RAMPING UP, THERE IS A DEVELOPING CASCADE OF EVENTS - WHAT YOU MENTION ABOVE (BATHS) CAN BREAK THAT CASCADE AND BRING RELIEF. ONE STILL NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ORGANIC ISSUE OF BLOOD , ETC. AND CAUSAL FACTORS. WOULD NEED TO SPEAK MORE ON THIS. OBVIOUSLY AN INFLAMMATION ISSUE WITH A CAUSAL FACTOR (MEDS., INFECTION?) THAT, ONCE IDENTIFIED, CAN REMEDIATE.
urinary tract infection lyme. The ER Dr. was convinced it was kidney stones, did a CT, no kidney infection, no stones, just a raging infection. KIDNEY STONES USUALLY REQUIRE SOME SPECIFIC ENHANCED IMBALANCE WITH CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM - I.E. - AN EXTREME ACID ENVIRONMENT THAT THE BODY ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT - CAN BE DUE TO HIGH ACID INTAKE AND / OR MED. ISSUE CREATING A BLOCKAGE OR DRAINING OF (USUALLY) MAGNESIUM AND THE KIDNEY ATTEMPTS TO BRING CALCIUM (MAGNESIUM'S PAIR) DOWN TO PROPER RATIOS AND IN DOING SO CALCIUM ACCUMULATES IN KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT - THUS THE "STONE" - A CONCENTRATION OF SALTS AND CALCIUM YIELD AN "OUCH" FOR SURE.

so why flank pain? I've had it on and off for a bit now. NOT SURE. WOULD NEED FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU. CLARIFICATION.
Was it a side effect of the med? POSSIBLY.
I checked that out - and it seems like nothing new popped up - flare up what went on before. It wasn't a reaction to anything else I was taking (baby aspirin, acetametaphine, then integrated Norco for pain)
What happens to the kidneys when bacteria dies? What type of bacterial death is particularly hard on the kidneys. MANY AND VARIED. BACTERIA, "DIEOFF" OF BACTERIA / OTHER CAN CAUSE INFLAM. RESPONSE.
m. - THESE CONDITIONS YOU DESCRIBE ARE NORMALLY ALL RELATED IN SOME MANNER (CONNECTING THE DOTS) . SOURCES OF INFLAM. NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED AND ADDRESSED IN A PRIORITY ORDER WHILE YOUR OVERALL HEALTH IS BUILT. THIS WOULD BE THE FOCUS OF OUR DISCUSSIONS.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
