sayersn, I'm popping in very briefly, mostly because I wanted to say "hi". If you are seeing an LLMD in Buffalo, I believe he or she would be the best person to ask about co-infection testing. The ID...
Just one more tidbit: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/11/1/04-0303_article.htm "From a third to three fourths of patients with Lyme disease cannot recall having been bitten by a tick (6,34–36). " I...
sfgirl, I hope all of this information isn't too overwhelming, but there's one more link I'd like you (or your doctor) to take a look at. It shows examples of rashes other than the classic bull's eye...
rowingmom, Thank you so very much for your kind words. Yes, I'm the one who clutters up the CanLyme forum on a fairly regular basis (lol). I don't generally post here on Healing Well -- only due to...

sfgirl, You're most welcome, and I'm so glad you've been taking photos. This is probably even more information than you need right now, but you do seem interested in knowing the facts, so I’m going...

CanLyme if back up, and apparently has some new features. It might be the security settings on my PC that doesn't allow me to see some of the new options in the forum, but at least I'm able to read...

I've been trying to sign onto the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation ( www.canlyme.com ) website and keep getting the following message: "This site has been suspended" Does anyone have even a clue as...
IGeneX offers a lot of blood tests related to Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, so I'm not familiar with them all. My LLMD ordered the Basic Lyme Panel (4090) Western Blot IgG, Western...
Bumping in case someone on Cowden's Condensed Protocol is around....
Best of luck to you! I'm very grateful that you're willing to share your personal experiences with others. I will be following your results since I've had to discontinue my 3 oral antibiotics for the...
