Dad came off respirator on Thursday. Numbers continue to improve, and everyday slight improvement. Moving from critical side of ICU to step down unit tomorrow and they also plan to have him out of...
Berks Co., PA...
One diemma solved, just found out my son has lyme. We caught it early at least, and hopefully the doxycycline will be enough for him. Dad continuing to show slight improvement each day. So far not...
Totally understand. Every step outside is an act of faith. I think I picked up my infected tick in the front flower bed about 10 feet from my front door. Definitely agree with the permethrin, seems...
Good luck with moving! Take care! Hugs back!...
Thank you all so much. We have churches of people praying, but just wanted to extend it across the globe if possible, and this forum has been a source of comfort to me since last year. He has a long...
Thank you so much. The surgery went well. We were very nervous about it. Waiting to see if this was enough to relieve his kidneys so they can function properly, or he will need to be dialized. He...
Please forgive my infrequency of getting on here, and this is not even on topic for lyme, but my dad needs all the prayers he can get right now. He has just finally begun to undergo surgery to remove...
Hi CG! Here is another hug and prayer for things to go well for you!...
Hi Klynne, My experience was that I was bitten in 2005, treated for 10 days with Doxy. 100 mg. twice a day. I seemed to recover and felt fine for several years. In March 2009, I relapsed. At first it...
Jenn, I think the stress of wanting so much to be able to function and do things for your family might also be part of it? I hope they can understand what you are going through and that you maybe...
Jeminij, Sorry for the loss of your aunt and your husband's uncle. That is a lot to take in a short time and so close to the holidays on top of it all. I lost a friend to cancer last January. I felt...
You and the others I "met" back in April are on my mind a lot. Also those who I haven't. My pain wasn't near what so many are going through and my treatment seemed to work quickly, considering I was...
This is so good to hear that within two years you went from ill to a healer! That helps to show there is plenty of time for what you really want to do with your life. One thing I found was that while...
Hi CG! I love your quote too! I love this forum and you seem to be the heart of it! Hope things are improving for you! I'm in the process of getting snowed in and have plenty to do around this house,...
Hope it works for you! Hope your pain eases soon!...
I'm taking an herbal blend now, but the Cat's Claw that I was taking was Saventaro by Better World. I haven't been taking it since I started with the other blend. I'm thinking that maybe for winter I...
Sorry if I am off the wall, but no matter which president it was who started the commitee, I am still stunned by the new guidelines. Most of the people that my husband and I know who have had breast...
Glad you had a good day! Hope the color turns out well too. That sounds like it might be similar to what I use on my mother-in-law. Her hair is mostly all grey and resistant, so the henna wasn't...
Can we all thank Chutz for this happy goof up? Too funny!...
pcpc, Thank you for your honesty. Wow! It seems very understandable that you would feel this way, and if it is working, that you would fear the possibility of going back to how things were. Also only...
I just made a quick visit to the breast cancer forum, to see what they are thinking about the new guidelines for mammography. This is insane! It also seems to be possible there is a connection to the...
The henna I use is organic, so is safe....
Hi, I'm from the Lyme forum, but was curious to know what was the thought was about these new guidlines. My husband actually reacted more strongly than I did, when we first heard them! My concern is...
Have you looked at the health food store for henna? I actually do the henna, then pull it through the cap and highlight it, which takes two different days and is time consuming and when I was really...
pcpc, Thank you so much for your post! This is very helpful to all of us!...
CG, So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I pray that you and your family are able to find peace and healing in your hearts. You have enough pain already. It's good that you got to know him at...
Hope it goes away soon!...
You can get emergen-c at wal-mart. I hope I'm allowed to say that?...
Good luck to all of you with your appts. Kind of ironic that all three are the same day!...
I am e-mailing you!...
Wow! I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Thanks for answering!...
Hi Kara, I live nearby you in the Mertztown area. I was treated by an ID Dr., but she didn't believe in chronic Lyme, so I wouldn't recommend her to someone who has been infected so long. I was just...
1Bitten, So glad that you are able to get back to what you enjoy and helping people while you are at it! That's great! Are the virals a coinfection or separate from Lyme?...
Hi Alone, Hope you are feeling better soon. This time of year, even before ever having had Lyme to contend with, I start taking a blend of elderberry and zinc by NOW Foods, also containing extra C,...
RD, For different reasons, I haven't been able to spend the time on here either, but I try to keep checking in, just to see how you and others are doing. So sorry that things are still not turning...
I've been wondering too....
Nicky, Hope that you are able to find someone that you can trust to talk to soon. It sounds like you've got a lot of stress going on too right now! Adding another hug!...
I work in a skilled nursing facility and the flu shot is available to staff every year, and possibly the H1N1 as well. Some years I took the shot and others skipped it. I have not gotten any since...
Alone & Scared, So sorry that you are suffering all alone like this. I was not sick for very long compared to so many on here, and can only begin to imagine what you are going through. I was only on...
A nurse that I work with was recently diagnosed with vit D deficiency. I don't know the amounts she was told to take but that seems to be already answered here. Just want to add that getting outside...
So glad that your trip and appt. went well! Hope your treatment works well too!...
With my relapse in March, after the sinusitis that triggered it subsided, and after 3 weeks of Biaxin, I was on 5 weeks of Doxy. March into April, the vertigo ws subsiding, but I still felt like my...
Don't forget vitamin C!!! I was taking medicinal mushrooms, and Cat's Claw, but am backing off of those now that I am on the Spirolyd Support and Spirolyd Compound. I'm also taking a good...
Sorry, I didn't have either of those, but had to take Benadryl or I would be itchy and at time break out in hives....
Jen, I was wondering about you, and hoping that things were going better for you. So sorry that you are still having such a horrible time! Still been praying for your healing! Keep trusting that you...
I'm in PA, and a delivery man gave me his card. I did not call or check into it at all but he is in the Lancaster area, and said that he sells rife machines. If anyone is interested I can e-mail his...
No problem! You just do what you need to do in the time that you are able to do it in. That was one of the things that I needed to learn for myself. I have taken care of others in the nursing home...
Hi CG! I only had my PICC for 30 days, and if anything my blood got a little too thin with the heparin. I understand your nervousness, but once you talk to your Dr. hopefully he will alleviate some...
Hi CG, I do have Herbal Antibiotics by Stephen Harrod Buhner, but didn't get the one specifically for Lyme yet. What I have been reading lately is Excuses Begone by Wayne W. Dyer. It was a birthday...
