The assumption here is that you had a false positive screening test (ELISA/EIA) because they followed that with a WB that was "negative". It seems though that your WB, though "negative" by CDC...
Good advice on the other essential oils, Omegas, etc. though I have to question the recommendation on flax oil, as Dr. Burrascano recommends NOT to take Flax (seed) Oil. I was never sure why, but I...
Yep. Could be the stress reduction or the immune modulation. Very interesting....
My doc is not too far from you in NJ. I think he is good. You can email me at jrwoznicki at ya hoo if you wish a referral....
Though I am still being treated after 4 years (extenuating circumstances of having heavy metals toxicity), I am so much better than the dark days. To quantify it, I would say I am about 80-85% back...
Gracie, I can be reached at jrwoznicki at yahoo dot com :)...
Hi gracie: I presented almost exactly as you did, except no panic attacks. Flushing, burning, tach/pals for three months (folwwed a stint on ABX after a sinus infection) then the flushing became...
Your symptoms also sound like Babesia. I would get checked for co-infections and heavy metal toxicity and definitely go to an LLMD. Believe all when they say, they have been down this route before,...
Wasn't bad. Just like getting any filling removed. Local anesthesia and drilling :) Had two done at a time. THe most important thing though is that the office I found used some hi-tech equipment...
I DID have 4 and a little spot on another tooth (so 4.5, I guess). And I had them removed as soon as I found out I was an 18! Best to have them removed by a biological dentist who believes these can...
My neurologist, not to be confused with urologist, told me that urine heavy metal toxin tests test for long time exposure/poisoning as the test draws metals buried in tissue out to be processed for...
Vin you might contact me at email embedded in message above so I can forward contact info for Dr. S in Howell. Your PM or email link was not active....
You said: "I wanted to punch him." I say: that in itself might be therapeutic! Instead of talk therapy, maybe punch therapy! :devil: Seriously, I had the same experience: U. of Penn neurologists and...
Yes it could be a resurfacing of the babs, but I have to be honest with you, whenever I get a cold etc. I get my babs symptoms too, intensified. Could be just leftover reaction of the immune system....
Could be a virus, Beth. Lots of stuff going around. Not only do we all have Lyme to contend with, but we are living in a new viral age--which all kinds of mutations that we've never considered before...
Of course allergies can exacerbate the symptom too. BUt again, what is probably happening is, if you have allergies, you are getting a double whammy--the allergen is producing some inflammation, but...
My doc thinks the intense pressure I get in my cranium, which IS exacerbated sometimes by weather, but also comes by during my Lyme time of the month is actually due to Babs. But either way it IS the...
That was my first symptom. After 3.5 years of treatment, I still occasionally get a tightness there, like Someone is stretching an invisible Ace bandage around that area. Mine was(is) on the right...
As a follow-up, history proves to us that the way to hide a demon is make a demon of the other. It is classic Machiavellian distraction technique. Lyme disease has indeed become demonized, even more...
I am totally in Physinvent's camp. As a researcher and cultural critic, this story of conspiracy is not that far-fetched and there are facts that give weight to the story. We'll never know if it is...
I had the same as Riley..at its worst, every day, same time. It IS due to a compromised immune system, first and foremost, and the theory is (from me and my docs) that when you are compromised,...
Absolutely nerve related. The inflammation impacts the facial and cranial nerves and thus all those strange feelings. I also had vertigo, ataxia, and tinnitus, along with twitching in that region, as...
It was one of my first symptoms too, and the most persistent, after 4 years. And I had no prior allergies (I know they can come on at any time). I also started getting this symptom in early January,...
I have had that, and continue to have it after years of treatment. The outer rim of my ear lobes also get bright red and burn hot, as if being blow-torched. Best, John...
Biaxin/Plaquenil with Bicillin Shots helped my CNS symptoms much, since I couldn't go on IV (insurance denial). I still have symptoms--twitching, burning, muscle pain (which I think is CNS related)...
I am a former patient of Dr. E in Flemington and current of Dr. S in Howell. I too am curious regarding those who might have experience with the two and the reasons for leaving/staying. I could also...
I too exacerbated my Lyme with my first ever flu shot 5 years ago, and hadn't had one since. My new LLMD told me it was optional depending on my likelihood of getting the flu (I am a professor so its...
