Hi, all! Well, I am the victim of computer fraud! My email account was hijacked and my entire personal address book was stolen. The criminal has been sending out messages under my name that are of a...
Hello! Thanks so much for your thoughtful inquiry about my sister. She is not doing well at all - in fact, terrible. Mentally, she's destroyed - extremely depressed - she is in agonizing pain, and...
Thanks, Dagger - your post and others have helped me make a decision - don't think we'll be trying Benicar! My sister has enough problems - we don't need to trigger any more! Thanks again to all who...
Thanks, Judy! To be honest, I was wondering how this could affect people with normal blood pressure, as this drug is normally prescribed for people with high blood pressure. Thanks for your thoughts,...
Good afternoon, everyone! I'm posting again because I've read some pretty interesting articles about the benits of using Benicar to stop, or slow down the inflammatory progession of lyme. In my...
Rottendog, you're amazing! I bet when you become some one's friend, you are their friend for life! I can tell by your posts that you are a very special person, and extremely loyal and honest. I wish...
Thanks everyone for your kind and compassionate words. Yes, momtothree, I would love to have the name of your physician - if I have to carry Chris in my arms, we cannot give up. We also live in Md so...
Hi,kelly1234, I read the same post and believe the polyneuropathy comment was related to Bart. My sister has been treated several times in the past for Bart - so if that's what's causing her current...
Hi, Momtothree, Thanks for your thoughtful post about my sister. To be honest, we were a little disappointed with "our" appointment with the new LLMD. I don't know anymore, maybe it's us, but I just...
pcpc: WOW! I feel just like the others did when they read your post! Just like JELAINEP said, I'm printing a copy and taking it to every doctors appointment my sister has! Your words ring truth, loud...
Hi, All! I would also love to hear more about Factive - it's uses? Side effects? etc. What is it prescribed for? Lyme? or co-infections? Is any one currently using it and is it making improvement in...
Hi, All! I'm writing in the hopes that some one has information on a good lyme doctor in the Maryland area. I thought I'd read about one in the Gaithersburg/Rockville area (that's very close to my...
Hi, Ellen! Thanks so much for responding. Yes, I really think we need to find another LLMD closer to our home. We live in Maryland, I would welcome any specifics on a LLMD in the...
Hi, All! After writing on the forum a few weeks ago, I'm really starting to become convinced that my sister is battling Babesia almost more than Lyme. Some of you also suggested that her symptoms...
Hi, Beths. Yes, I believe she was treated some time in 2005 or 2006. The only thing I can remember and going back through my notes is that she had a horrible time tolerating Mepron and artemisia...
Dear KeepHope, I was wondering if you could provide more specific information regarding Singulair for herxing? My sister is gravely ill with lyme, and just starting another RX combo - biaxcin and...
Dear Chris, Hello! I don't take any of the "tinctures" because I don't have lyme, just my sister (her name's Chris also!). I suppose I've taken on the roll of being my sister's "health coach" because...
Thank you all for your feedback! pcpc: Thank you so very much for clearing up the rumors I had heard regarding Igenex! You'll never know the relief I felt - especially hearing a physician state that...
Dear Soujourner, I couldn't agree more with the "burn out" descript ion. I'm very sure it works both ways - for the doctors as well as the patients! I did not mean to infer that Dr. C was not a...
Hi! My sister has been on antibiotics intermittently over the past 4 1/2 years (PICC line with IV Rocephin for 10 months). Ironically, the worst time was during the PICC period, just because of the...
Hi! I'm new on the site - I don't have Lyme but I've joined many sites because my sister, Chris, is desperately ill with Lyme - we believe for more than 15 years. Her first Lyme doctor was Dr. A.C....
