They didn’t prescribe anything other than naproxen. It was a terrible experience. But I saw my primary care doctor a few days later, and he didn’t say anything about an infection either. Just said...
For those of you following this thread, the ER said that I have pericarditis. It’s been 16 days since the first episode, and I’m still struggling. Getting better sometimes, then things trigger pain...
They said that I have pericarditis. Which makes a lot of sense. They also said that I am hyperthyroid and could explain the heart rate going crazy the past 24 hours. I’m glad I went to rule out a...
I decided to come to the ER. Thank you all for your help. I will keep you posted....
Astroman, I don’t even know if the freestanding ERs would even take me. But it would be worth calling and asking....
Hey, Astroman. Thank you for your input. We have freestanding ERs here, but every urgent clinic I’ve ever talked to said they would send me to the main hospital and wouldn’t see me for chest pain....
Thank you so much, everyone for your insight! You’ve helped me feel more at ease about going to get checked out. I really appreciate all of your personal stories and the encouragement. :)...
Garzie, that is helpful. I was wondering about the blood tests. My chest pain comes in waves. Now it’s just kind of an ache. Which I know is probably also not good. The shortness of breath today I...
Garzie and Vimzor, thanks so much for your input! Things weren’t hurting much this morning so I tried about 5-6 minutes of very slow stationary bike riding. Within that timeframe, my chest started...
Great idea, saraeli. I didn't know you could get a home ekg device. I do have a blood pressure cuff coming and have a pulse ox already. My O2 and heart rate have been pretty steady today even with...
Vimzor, I wondered if that blood test would be helpful, but I wondered if it would be too high constantly or only during the actual cardiac event? My doctor said it would only do any good to get...
Vimzor, what kind of testing did they do for you to find that condition?...
Hi, everyone. It's been a hot minutes since I've been on here. But this is always a trusted community to come to when you're needing help. I'm having a new problem and needing some insight. On...
Garzie and saraeli, thank you so much for the responses. My sister and her husband tested positive for strep a few days before me, so I definitely think it was strep. I took a garlic and oregano...
So sorry you're feeling so sick! The list of supplements that were mentioned is pretty close to what my Lyme doc had prescribed for Covid. She's had me take Iver and Alinia when I've had it. I think...
So I have a mystery. I had strep throat on 12/6. It lasted about 2 days with the help of Biocidin throat spray and a garlic/oregano supplement. However, on 12/10 I woke up with nerve pain/burning...
Hi, Walkingbyfaith. Thanks for your response. I actually have a full face mask that allows me to breathe out of my mouth. And also, the humidifier part of the CPAP helps me breathe out of my nose...
Hello, everyone. It's been a really long time since I've been on here. But do want to make it a point to get on more often to share my successes with Lyme treatment. I'm doing really well this year...
I think I remember having joint pain with Rifampin. All of my joints hurt back then anyways. Hard to say if it was the Rifampin herx or not. I am Bartonella-dominant right now, and I do have more...
Everyone else has already said mast cells. But that was my first thought as well. I've seen people have those symptoms paired with digestive issues. Hope you're getting some valuable help through...
dcd2103, there appears to be an outbreak, so that’s why I was thinking it’s active. But I’ve never had an outbreak before, so it caught me by surprise. Garzie, thanks for the insight. I had wondered...
I’ve done a mix of both. I just recently finished 12 days of ivermectin. It was the most intense psych herx, but I felt much better afterwards. It significantly helped my asthma, and we believe it...
Hi, everyone. I have a question. From what I am gathering from the search feature, HSV-2 is a common virus that Lyme patients get. I just recently got a positive IgG result for HSV-2. Not sure how I...
Does anyone know if black cumin seed can kill babesia. I’ve had some pretty intense herxes from it I believe from Bartonella, Lyme, parasites, and Candida. But was wondering if it could kill babesia...
Definitely. I had a delayed response herx frequently....
Walkingbyfaith, safer at least. My roommate brought some big offenders with us like a mattress and linens that didn’t get cleaned. But I have an air doctor in my room, and we have an I-wave in the...
How long have you had these symptoms?...
I am/was taking the suspension. I only take it as needed now. It's good to calm down a gut reaction if I eat something my body doesn't like. I'm now on Ketotifen and take hydroxyzine as needed. The...
Dmitry, I'm re-visiting this topic after trying a few things the past few weeks. Have you found anything to help those symptoms? After being on blood sugar herbs, etc., and still having the symptoms,...
Thanks, dude. I talked to several doctors. Some say it’s concussion related and that my body is using too much energy to heal my brain and doesn’t have enough energy to digest my food. My other doc...
It costed about $2K at the time, but it would be way more expensive now....
It was definitely helpful in getting me to where I am today, but wasn’t an end-all be-all. Eventually I just hit a plateau. As with anything. It took many more therapies after that to get me...
Yes. I did about 20-23 sessions of ultraviolet blood irradiation and ozone therapy. I had mold issues back then and didn’t know it. I was using it to treat Lyme and coinfections. But my mold and lyme...
Okay, great! Thanks, Cignet. I think I am going to do 7:30 to 9:30 am. So that’s 14 hours fasting and 10 eating. I’ll just try it at least and see how I do....
Cignet, thanks so much for giving me info about the fasting. I want to try it. I’ve been doing some research about it this weekend. I just have to figure out the best schedule for me. The nighttime...
Dude, thanks so much for your response. You spent a lot of time and effort on that! As for your comment on which foods are right for you, that’s a tough one. I’m reacting to so many foods right now....
Dude, thanks so much for your thorough reply. You’re correct. I’ve noticed the sleepiness more after the concussion on the 6th, but I have had this symptom for a long time. It has just gotten...
Walkingbhfaith, that’s funny. I even commented on that post in 2019 that it was happening then. Hmm. MCAS is a strong option. I’ve become extremely reactive to a lot of things. But I am taking...
Cignet, maybe I should try intermittent fasting. But how did you fast without your blood sugar levels dropping during the day? That's my biggest concern. If I wasn't eating, then I wouldn't get...
I have a lot of muscle issues too. I feel like my body is constantly aching. It's like a flu aching, but it's muscle related for sure. I don't have a lot of good advice. I haven't figured out a fix...
If I have already posted about this, please forgive me. I couldn't find a post, but my brain fog is so bad I can't remember if I've already posted. Within the past 3-4 weeks, I have been getting...
Fenben by itself caused a huge herx for me because of intestinal parasites. It helped me a ton though. I got a huge increase in energy after a few months....
That’s an interesting thought that I am going to have to research more. Thanks for bringing it to my attention....
Garzie, I wonder if a lymph node swelling in that area could be linked to the spleen pain I am having at the same time. Would it make sense to link those two?...
Skinny_joe, thanks. I’m wondering to what extent the concussion will contribute to overall total inflammation in my body. We shall see. This is round 2.0 with concussion. I was still recovering from...
Skinnyjoe, I’m going to take a wait and see approach. It’s not bad pain. Just aching right now. And not consistently. But I agree. Ultrasounds and useless. And my doc took it at face value....
Walkingbyfaith, my doc says that TUDCA is too stimulating for my dead gallbladder. We’re trying more gentle things right now. We were addressing parasites and flukes back in December, then I had a...
1000 daisies, the ultrasound didn’t show any inflammation, but I didn’t trust the person who did it. She said, “I’m going to attempt to locate your appendix.” It was a bad experience all around. I...
Would an abdominal ultrasound see cysts too? I just had a vaginal ultrasound for those two months ago. But it would be interesting to see if they were causing issues. Wouldn’t that be great if I lost...
@saraeli, I do have some ovarian cysts. And I’ve wondered about that. But I wasn’t sure if that would hurt after eating or near my belly button. My gallbladder is hurting a good bit these past few...
