Thanks Traveler, Best of luck in your fight. We're all in this together, whether "this" is Lyme or just plain life....

I was fortunate to find a Naturopath who specialized in Lyme, until they moved to MT. It sounds like IV abx are in store soon, but the only doc I have a name of is on a waiting list until Sept and...
Would you share the kind of tea you drink? L J...
My 2 cents, Keep the hope that it is a false positive. However, while you are waiting for test results, add any natural antibiotic's back into your mix. These buggers go into dormancy and when they...
Hi Chris, The food issue is a constant struggle for me. Mornings are the toughest, what the heck to eat?! On top of the restricted diet, my body really is rejecting a lot of food as well. It's...
sorry beth, I know this is your thread about feeling bad, but I guess maybe I had a moment of freaking out, too. L J...
Yikes, maybe I am overdoing the drops dosage. I started taking 2 drops twice a day and now I am doing 20 drops twice. I am really not feeling good. This is the most nauseous I have felt since before...
Good question, I noticed a similar deal, the older pills in my cabinet were the gel form, but I think that the crushed powder named allicin is more potent. I haven't started Garlic into my mix yet,...
Razzle, What does more than 1,000 mg of Vitamin C do negatively for Kidney Disease? I have a family history of PKD, so don't want to over due the C. L J...
When my doctor was diagnosing me, she asked if I had stretch marks and what color they were. I do, and mine change in color. Sometimes they are purplish and sometimes grayish. I thought they were my...
Regarding your mention of tendon damage from Cipro, this was taken from a web site surrounding a lawsuit dated July of 08: http://www.schmidtandclark.com/Cipro/ Signs & Symptoms of Tendon Rupture The...
I am doing both currently, but want to get to a place where the abx are out of the picture. Good point, that natural was working before. The abx for me are uncovering years of layers of symptoms....
Sorry about your staph infection, ouch! Cipro was the first abx I started on for Lyme, it brought on my fever (still going, day 29!!), and is now partnered with Minocycline. It is difficult to...
Maybe you already have this or have it posted somewhere, but I ran across Dr. Burrascano's updated pdf list for supplements dated July, 2008. http://www.lymepa.org/Nutritional_Supplements.pdf L J...
Tell us more rvnut . . . about going all natural. How long were you on abx? How long have you been doing supplements/herbs on their own? L J ---------- Diagnosed - 12/30/08, Lyme + Babesia +...
These are my first 2 abx. I started with the Cirpo first for 5 days, then followed it by Minocycline. The Cipro noticeably made me dizzy and after 4 days the fever started, which is still going !!!...
Thanks Constantina, Appreciate you sharing your story. Hearing hope is always a great thing. Hearing what you have been doing, supports what I have been doing, although it seems like the diet...
Hi Alexa22, I think SickinCt is referring to an antibiotic called Ciprofloxacin, which is in the group of abx called Fluorquinolones. I take it as well. L J ---------- Diagnosed - 12/30/08, Lyme +...
HI VirginiaLady, I had a similar experience, but just after I had come out of a hot bath. I saw spots and thought I was going to black out. And nothing could help me feel right. Similarly, I have...
I'm seeing a naturopath and she seems very knowledgeable, has many Lyme patients. I guess you would call her a LLND? She started me on Minocycline, (which I have read is stronger than Doxy) and...
Gracie's Mom, Great info!! Much of what you said was new! I am drinking tons of water, over a gallon a day. Partially, because I am so thirsty! And partially because I take several pills an hour, so...
Hi, I'm 41, I don't know when I got it, I am guessing the summer of 07. But, I do not recall any rash or fevers around that time. The winter of that year, I had an unusual illness, followed by months...
That's rough SickInCt. Have you read the Top 10 Lyme Treatments? Anything in there you could try? L J...
Yes, Ciprofloxacin and Minocycline is my first combo, only on day 26 of antibiotics. Day 22 of a fever, so I guess that means I'm killing off the bacteria. I added Samento to the mix of 32 pills (4...
Is this a Lyme thing? My arms have been numb for a couple days. They can be like this on and off. Before I was diagnosed I figured this was due to my working on my computer and I wasn't sitting and...
Hi LupnerRN, So do you have parasites on top of the Lyme and co-infections. How are you treated for those? What kinds of symptoms is your son having, if any? I would be interested in receiving the...
Hi Keeping the Faith, Hope your daughter is doing okay. Isn't that sad that so many doctors put patients on the short round of meds and then think all is fine. I have many friends who were also put...
Hi, thanks for the reply! I am allergic to dairy and have been since late teens. I didn't come up with gluten sensitivity, but recently figured out that gluten makes me feel awful! Is the...
Hey, I'm a newbie, but with all the reading I have done, (and I still know a tidbit of what is out there), it seems so many assume they get rid of Lyme but don't. If symptoms disappear, it could just...
Hey there! This seems like a great forum. So many helpful, informed people on here. I am newly diagnosed and apparently have had this awhile. Lyme + Babesia + Enrichia. I am on day 25 of antibiotics...
