has anyone ever thot it was leukemia & not 'Lyme'?

Welcome back! Sorry you have relapsed.

I have those thoughts going through my mind sometimes, too...what if it's something else?

You've been under an extreme amount of stress lately...so sorry for your losses.

Have you had blood tests done recently? I believe leukemia shows up - is it in the wbc count? Sorry, can't remember.
I think you could rule that out pretty quickly...if you need to do that to get peace of mind.


Hang in there...you will get there again.

hi mcspike, I completely understand about what stress can do to you. You see, beginning in March of this year (2018), we've dealt with a loss of a dear one, then we had to deal with bringing the body home. We've had a person at home diagnosed (and operated) with brain cancer, one of my parents was hospitalized due to a severe car accident, my BIL has a brain tumor and five hernias, so we had to care for his child while he was treated. My daughter and I got into a huge fight that she moved away from home, taking my baby (her daughter) with her, which depressed my wife severely.

So all of this in just a few months has stressed me so bad that all of my Lyme symptoms are back worse than ever. I feel the same (or worse) than when I first got infected 6 years ago. It is as all the treatments that have done in all of those years was for naught. I am back to square one, dealing with Lyme and all the other bugs that live inside me.

Before March, I was 90% well, living my normal life, going on vacations, riding my Harley and enjoying life. Now, here I am sick, except that his time, abx are not as effective as they once were, or my immune system is not helping much. Either way, I am in pain and miserable.

Do I think that I might have something else? yes, sometimes I think it is cancer, maybe something in my brain is growing, maybe my liver is severely damaged from all the stuff that I take, and a whole other bunch of stuff that I think of when I feel sick. We all just need to have faith that we are on the right path to healing, otherwise fear will make us feel worse than we are.

Thanks Girlie

Mc spike for me weight loss was nerve damage chasing bugs further into tissues. .i looked like a aids patient.even aids patients die from bart ...that how they uncovered it ...leukemia is a easy blood protein test . ...and is one of the only cancers chemo works on ....rule it out put your mind at ease ...btw bvt has gotten rid all of my lyme arthritis and stopped wasting in its tracks

That the only way insurance will pay for apitherapy...for desensitization. Small doses over time so the body get used to it ...only 1 % is actually allergic ...anything less than true anaphylaxis is not a allergy...pollen honey is a way to get rid of local allergies ...some peoples load is to big and histamines too high...but most can do bvt if they had the constitution.
