I keep relapsing when I stop any of my antibiotics, so I figure it is time to add on Rife in addition to antibiotics. Can anyone point me to a web site (in a private message if necessary) for getting...
Hi, I would really love it if anyone could write anything back ... I am taking Bicillin shots (moved up to 4 a week this week) which help but I might be herxing from them. I feel fine most of the...
I'm just having a hard time thinking of what they are looking for. He had gastric-related pain relieved by food, antacids, and PPIs. So ... do we need any further diagnosis to say there was some sort...
Anyways, his symptoms do not seem similar to ulcer symptoms. (no pain in chest, no pain at night, nothing that feels like heartburn) Instead it sounds more like gastritis:...
Additionally, shouldn't an antibody test remain positive even while on PPIs? "Serologic or whole-blood antibody tests are commonly used to screen patients for H. pylori because they are easy to use...
To add some more information: False-negative rates for H. pylori biopsy while on PPIs range from 13% to 56%. "Variable rates of false-negative H. pylori biopsy results or breath test results have...
My boyfriend was diagnosed with LPR by nasal endoscopy (or whatever that one is called). The ENT put him on omeprazole, which he has been taking for 2 months. It has eliminated the throat symptoms as...
If you have sudden anger or a distinct change in personality or if it feels like your emotions and brain have changed for no reason and aren't working normally, get tested for tick-borne infections...
I was on Rifampin+minocycline for a while and that cut down on my Bartonella symptoms. I used to have pain inside my bones, but not any more. However, now I feel like the bone lining is inflamed. It...
I think they asked for a sigmoidoscopy only because the blood was bright red (indicating it hadn't gone far)....
My boyfriend might have IBS and he will be having a sigmoidoscopy. I am concerned about him going through the stimulant laxative and PEG-3550 osmotic laxative, because having intense diarrhea might...
I am writing on behalf of my boyfriend. He had a very stressful presentation at work two weeks ago and stayed at work until 1am every day the week beforehand and ate only oatmeal for dinner. He...
Some people have recommended computer-based rife machines to me that are just computer software that uses your computer's own speakers to do the treatments. For example, http://www.noriftrife.com/ ....
I take Rifampin 300mg 2x a day with minocycline, originally 100mg 2x a day but raised to 200mg 2x a day (I herxed more on the higher mino dose). Yes, lots of herxing, tiredness, and pain inside what...
Main question: Is there anything you can take for Babesia ALONG WITH RIFAMPIN and MINOCYCLINE (which I am taking for Bart and want to stay on because they are working)? I thought I had only Bart as a...
My LLMD tested me for Babs, Bart, and Mycoplasma through good labs (Igenex, Specialty Labs, and Clongen, respectively), and all the tests came back negative (well, the Bart was borderline). However,...
Thanks for the info about your LLMD saying it's good to treat them at the same time....
That sounds just like it - whack a mole lol ;-). As soon as one started going away I got hit by the other. Yes, I am having sweats now - a little bit after taking my Bart drugs, ironically (there's...
I recently realized I must have Babesia in addition to Bartonella, because now that I'm taking drugs that treat Bart but not Babs, I'm getting a lot of Babs symptoms (very intensely). I don't know...
Not sure about what to do in your situation. sounds really frustrating about the doctor not giving a refill. My experience: when I was waiting for an LLMD and didn't have abx available, I used the...
I had elevated liver enzymes way back before I started treatment at all. The coinfections and maybe Lyme as well can cause elevated liver enzymes. Mine are decreasing as I treat the infections. check...
I have known I have Bartonella, and I was treating it with azithromycin+Plaquenil for 6 months. Felt really great. Now I switched to Rifampin+minocycline for Bartonella starting a month ago. Herxing...
Also in DFW area. There is a yahoo group dfwlyme that I asked whether anyone in the area has a machine to try out-awaiting a response....
Hey, I have Lyme and Bart, and occasional sudden rage/anger out of proportion when herxing from the bart. It's kinda like intermittent explosive disorder (IED) except it only happens when I start new...
For the past 4-5 days, I've had sharp pains in my abdomen, sometimes every minute or so, at locations on both sides, about level with my navel and in line with my knees (that is, in-between the...
Buhner the herbalist recommends Sarsaparilla (smilax) to help with herxes. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is somewhat anti-Lyme as well. Some people recommend Cell Food. I am going to get...
My doctor says that the twitches are a symptom of something, not necessarily Lyme, but some other imbalance perhaps caused by Lyme. Something with minerals? I forget....
I think I've had Bart before I got Lyme. Schaller says you can get it from a variety of things: animals, fleas, even flea feces....
I used to like doxy. It made me kind of happy. I think I read somewhere that it can be a mild mood elevator or cause mild euphoria or something. I felt like it gave me insomnia and made it harder for...
I probably have had Bartonella for 2 years, adrenal fatigue or whatever you want to call it for 7 years (brought on by severe and recurrent anorexia long ago), and Lyme for almost 1 year. I caught...
I have Lyme and Bartonella, which I got in May 08. I took doxy until October, when my doctors stopped giving me abx. Then I switched to the Buhner herbs. I've been having what I think is interstitial...
For the past 5 days (probably related to adding Ceftin to a recent Biaxin and Plaquenil regimen), I've been accidentally screaming very loudly when things upset me. I live with my boyfriend, who's in...
500mg Biaxin 2x a day 200ng tmyl(?) Plaquenil 2x a day What's weird is that my physical herxing symptoms (pain in the usual places) were over within the first week and a half, but the emotional...
I used the Buhner herbal protocol while waiting for my first LLND appt, and it kept me from relapsing while off antibiotics (I had previously relapsed every time I tried to stop doxycycline, which my...
I just found this about Biaxin side effects: http://www.medications.com/se/biaxin/anxiety...
I realize now that I might be having an adverse reaction to Biaxin. I also had a very bad reaction to Ceftin (felt much worse on it). Have you had negative reactions to Biaxin?...
I got Lyme last spring, took doxy as long as my regular docs would give it to me, then took the Buhner herbal protocol between then and my first LLND appt. The ND put me back on antibiotics: Biaxin,...
I have Babesia but it doesn't bother me that much - my air hunger might have been from something else (it was usually correlated with a heavy feeling in my heart), but it was often relieved at least...
I get clear circles, stringy clear or more visible corkscrew/snake shapes, and a brown dot that usually hangs out in the center of my left eye's field of vision. My floaters have decreased...
