Yes, I am. I did not have a good Flagyl experience today. I will be calling him tomorrow. I am not sure I can do it again....
I am about to add Flagyl to ceftin... did you do it? How was it?...
Here is my protocol: 7 days of the week Ceftin, 5 days Doxy and 2 days Flagyl. I am SO nervous about taking the Flagyl. All I have read is very scary on the boards. The dose is 250mg 3x day. What...
I am on my 4th day and I was SO tired today. I am hoping it gets better. I am assuming a herx. I am also due to get my period. I am worried about starting the Flagyl on Monday. I will only be on it 2...
Anyone take it? I saw it on The Doctor's the other day and was wondering if it was a good supplement....
Hi, I saw a LLMD today and he added Ceftin. I am currently on Doxy (200mg 2x a day). What should I expect from this combo? So far, I am fine with the Doxy alone but I am worried about adding the...
I saw a LLMD today. Dr. S in MD. It was great. He is keeping me on the Doxy 5 days a week. He added Ceftin for every day and I am to take Flagyl 2x a week. I think I spent about an hour with him....
I am supposed to take it 2x a week. My doc told me today to dip the pill in honey and it is not bad going down....
How much Doxy and Amox were you taking? I am currently on Doxy now. Thanks! Wonderful news! Glad you are feeling better!...
In the event that both are accepting new patients which should I choose?? Dr. S in Lutherville or Dr. L in Lutherville?? Thanks for any input. I am going to call Dr. L tomorrow and fax a letter to...
Hi, Here is my story. I used to post more but usually I lurk. I am a 32 year old mother of two (ages 2 & 5). I am lucky enough to be able to stay at home with my girls. I developed a swollen knee...
I take Culturelle and like it. They first few days I took it my stomach was rumbly but I got used to it. I would definitely go get tested for the c. diff bacteria. That can happen months after you...
The lab work is considered out of network so 70% is covered. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. We have a PPN. I should have looked into it sooner. I have been off Abx for about 3 weeks now so it is the...
I am going to do the Igenex testing and I had a question.... Should I get the Basic Lyme Panel or the Complete Lyme Panel?? Big price diff between the two but I only want to pay for all this once....
Love Actually is a fantastic movie! Another good one is One Magic Christmas... it is SO good. I watch it every year. I like all the old movies too... I have a 2 & 5 year old so we watch ALL the...
OK, I got my results in the mail. My CD57 was 90....
They told me it was a %. I have no clue. I checked LabCorp website and could find nothing on the test. I guess I will just have to wait. I hate waiting....
Anyone? I can't seem to find this anywhere. I asked for the paperwork to be mailed to me but my doc is out until Monday... LabCorp won't even tell me the reference range over the phone. Jerks....
It was done through LabCorp and is was 5%....
Anyone?? This is driving me nuts! I am going to go run for a while - I'll be back on later! Thanks!...
Okay, so are the results always in %??...
Yes, the GSE tastes horrible. I mix it with apple juice but I am thinking I need a stronger juice! I don't know if it is working. I am going to work myself up to 10 drops in the morning and 10 at...
Are you taking it? Does it work? I have read good things. I am taking Grapefruit Seed Extract now. I started slow but now I am up to 8 drops. I am going to take more tonight. I think the bottle says...
The price is not bad either....
100 day Lyme protocol? http://www.myherbs.net/productinfo.asp?prod=LP100 ...
I want to go the natural route. I really have no symptoms but I am not sure if the Lyme is gone. My last WB was negative by CDC standards. But we know all about that. I am having ill effects from the...
I am starting the prevacid today at dinner time. He gave me samples of the kind that dissolve in your mouth. My throat is still sore today but both my girls have colds (as well as husband) so I...
I am going to stop ABX and try something natural. I am feeling so much better but the ABX are giving me problems after so much time. I need to listen to my body. What is the best natural approach?...
It all depends. Everyone is different. I responded quickly. I have been on Doxy now for 2 1/2 months....
I was diagnosed with LPR Reflux a while ago. I took Nexium for around 6 weeks and got better. Went off the Nexium. Every now and then I would have some reflux but not bad. Well, I have had a few...

Your doc is talking about the guy that was on Oprah. He and his friend drank it every day. I guess they had some machine. Well, he turned blue. It was crazy. He obviously over did it. Dr. Oz was on...
Yes, she said to take both of them together. I questioned her twice before I left and she said that people do it all the time. I am not really comfortable with taking both together. To tell you the...
My LLMD prescribed Flagyl today. 250 mg 2x a day for 2 weeks. If I do not have a reaction she said I am done... What should I expect on this drug? Should I start slow? I read in Dr. B's handout that...
You can take them with antibiotics. I read that there are rarely any interactions....
My doctor told me that chronic Lyme is the damage that has been done to the body from the initial infection (she also said that the infection would be gone). It is all so confusing! My doc also said...
My first symptom was a swollen knee. I had been at the gym A LOT and doing some fast running. The knee that swelled up was broken in a car accident 16 years prior. I am 32. My doc first idea was to...
I have only ever been on Doxy. I feel so much better - are you saying I will never get better with only Doxy??...
I really am not sure about a herx. I am feeling really good. I started exercising last week (4x). I am feeling a little crappy this week b/c I got my period but I think it is just girl stuff. At this...
I am sure you will find excellent advice here. Is today the first day you are taking everything? The only thing I am on is Doxy 200mg 2x a day. I am on my 9th week. Good Luck. Hope you are feeling...
That's what I was thinking. I have something called LPR or silent reflux. I had it way before lyme... The doxy I am on have made mine act up a little....
I got a flu shot and the only thing that happened was a sore arm....
How long were you ill before diagnosed? Also, how long were you treated? So glad you are feeling much better. Thanks for your story!...
woodswalker - How is the Grapefruit Seed Extract? Taking the liquid form? Does it make you feel any better? When do you take it? With the Doxy? Thanks!!...
I live in MD - only a couple of hours from OC. What is an OMD?...
I think the flesh colored bumps are just a benign skin condition known as "chicken skin" or medically as Keratosis Pilaris. It is harmless. I don't think it appears on hands but the other places it...
Not me, I need a good 7 hours to feel good. If I get less, I feel SO much worse!...
