Hi...I was diagnosed with Lyme in 2013, but the dx was missed for 11 months. After 4 yrs, my health picture is increasingly confusing to me. The waters became muddied for me after I began living in a moldy camper and immediately started to have some kind of nodule/swelling on one hand. A year later, my RF was last 393, and no help with determining whether mold incited the RF increase, which was normal for years. Anyway, I was on an herbal protocol and doing well until that exposure, now nothing works.

Has anyone had any luck deciphering research information about Stevia supposedly busting up biofilm? My brain is not so functional or articulate about this sorry. I just would be interested to know if anyone knows what amount of extract would be effective.

Also, I am 55yo female and I have been having serious hot flashes with stinging skin ever since I contracted Lyme and before I had any symptoms of menopause. The thing I keep noticing is that when I take japanese Knotweed or Resveratrol, I have about 4 times as many hot flashes as when i don't. It seemed to really be helping me but I finally realized it was outright KEEPING ME FROM EVER SLEEPING, that's how bad it is. I think it was really helping me but I can't pay that kind of price. Anybody else have this problem?

Sorry such a long post. I would like to just be able to have email contact with other sufferers in my area (Las Cruces, NM). I don't know how to accomplish that without opening myself up for spam deluge?

Glad you are here...seeing a GP today in hopes of getting some kind of help, maybe somebody in this state will actually be able to do something (moved back here recently).

Ok, did that. I have no clue what that is but i'm going to research it. Just coming back from years living off grid and/or without internet haven't been able to keep up with the latest stuff. Thanks, i'll look into it.

Hi oakiehomie -

So sorry you're suffering like that. Insomnia can be a deal-breaker. I'm not sure about your reactions to JK but I think it sounds like it's hitting bart or babs.

Also sounds like with the mold issue, detoxing is going to be critical for you - and you'll be chasing your tail if your environment is moldy. Is there any way to change it? Can you remediate the trailer? Do you have someone you can room with or can you sleep in a tent while you remediate it?

Please check out survivngmold.com - Dr Shoemaker is the mold guru - highly recommends PURE cholestyramine. I LOVE the stuff - it's my most important component in my health arsenal. It's KEY for detoxing mold. I don't know if anything else would work as well for your sx.

Welcome, oakiehomie -

Have you been in contact with a LLMD? (lyme literate Dr.) If not, I suggest that you look into that. A LLMD will know how to sleuth out which co-infections you have (Lyme rarely travels alone) and appropriately treat you.

You can post a new thread: "Looking for LLMD in/near_____" and fill in the blank.

When you have the time, please take a look at the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's packed full of useful information.

keep reading, asking questions...we're here to help
