Hi RockBoy81: Unfortunately, Lyme tests are extremely unreliable - especially early on. If your Dr. rules out all other insect bourne diseases and you test negative for Lyme - you may still want to...
Tkelly: At first I thought you were going to say you gave birth with no pain! Yikes - not feeling ripped out stitches - I hope you healed up OK. Uppity: That's usually one of my first questions - I...
Tbanks for the response. She has been to several GP's, a couple OB/GYNs and a neurologist - they can't figure it out. Thanks again...
I've recently been in touch with a woman who has MS and she has vulvar pain, itching, burning. She also has burning with urination. Is this a symptom of MS or could it be a non related issue? I am...
Hello! So happy you are getting so many tests and seeing so many specialists. It's important to take charge of our health. Some Infectous Disease Dr's treat and recognize Lyme but they are rare (in...
Carrie: do you think it could be your EBV acting up again. Some Fibro/CFS Dr's think that "stealth" infections hide in our body (ie we get the "flu" or "mono" and the germ doesn't leave the body...
Auroara: Remember there's always support on Helaingwell! You are not being paranoid - just being mindful of your health which is a good thing - and it sounds like you are doing a good job. Many Hugs...

hippiemom: We like the spoon theory over at the Lyme Board - in fact I did a post just today on how I "ran out of spoons" I am going to print it out and share it, too - that's a great idea....
These centers are as good as their Doctors. Some centers are (dangerously) bad and some are good - depending on the Dr. I was overdosed on hormones that I didn't need and my twin sister was overdosed...
My twin sister has Candida. It's part of the "auto immune" world, I think. What you are describing is "Thrush" Eating sugar or any refined/bad carb is going to feed the Candida. There are drugs you...
Not sure if this forum has ever had this posted but there will be a Prime Time Mystery Diagosis show that should be airing in June sometimes about MS and Lyme. Take good care...
I agree with most of what everyone said and I thank you for your response. I'm not saying that if you stop using artificial sweetners you will be cured, but like someone mentioned many people cannot...
I am asking for my neice and sister who have Lupus (I belong to the Lyme board because I have Lyme) Those of us with Lyme avoid artificial sweetners except Stevia. I told my neice about the overal...
