Thanks for the info! My dog had two engorged ticks on her, so i think I will make vet treat her just like we need treated for everybite....
Yep, me too. Our testosterone levels are very low if not zero. Have it tested often. Maca is supposed to help raise testosterone levels. Or just use testosterone cream. Once again, this is another...
Yes!! stop messing around. Find an LLMD or someone that does BioSet and have them run the Lyme and co-infections panel on you. BTW, do you watch The Mentalist? I can't get Red John out of my head now...
Doxycycline can make your skin feel that way in the sun. If not on doxy, it's probably neuropathy like suggested above. If too much to bare, let your LLMD know ASAP. And stop or lower your...
Find a Naturalpathic Endocrinologist. I'm on Ashwagandha right now....
My 7 month old yellow lab puppy just had 2 engorged ticks removed. Even after having the flea and tick ointment every month. What antibiotics have you given your dog and for how long? The Vet tech at...
Yes you can write them off. Its a two part tax code that also allows you to deduct special diets like gluten free and organic. It started from medical dietary needs in autism. Make a list of...

Hello all, my friend moved to minnesota and needs new LLMD. Any referrals?. Please email me. Thanks so much....
Angela, so sorry to hear about the Lyme diagnosis. It would really be great for you to find a LLMD ob/gynie. My LLMD doc in Ca is an gynecologic endocrinology specialists that treats Lyme also. Get...
Look into Ehrlichiosis. It can give a low white cell count. Just do a key word search on diseases and illness that create low WBC count. also, genetic conditions. What did doc say about leukemia...
hey thanks Raz! You can only inherit 2 of each type of gene, right??? I've always been curious why some people react more severely than others, even if they only carry one celiac gene, and why some...
I have I friend that really needs to see an LLMD and she has Kaiser medical. She can't afford to go anywhere else. Does anyone in the San Francisco bay area have Kaiser and see an in network doc...
I've heard of that. How much are you using? It sounds like you can cut back a little. I'll be interested in hearing how you do on it. Lisa...
Yes, I get teeth pain too. And mine got worse also when I went on a drug holiday. You might, at some point, need to see a Biologic Dentist. They do ozone injections in your gums at the tooth root....
I was just told by a Lymie going through the SSDI thing right now, that according to her lawyer, Lyme either already has or is in the process of being added to the mix of diagnosis'. When I signed up...
read all the stuff online from Dr. Ann Corson. She is following Dr. Jones lead. Look up; thebetterhealthguy.com, the Klinghardt Academy in Seattle and check out the videos on www.ILADs.org. There...
If it is working I will stay on it til symptoms are gone. Maybe a few weeks after. I will probably start pulsing it if it does seem to be working. It will depend on what Fry has seen in protomyxzoa...
I'm taking Stromectol for Babesia and Protomyxzoa and have noticed there's a big range in doses others are taking. My dose is 12mg 3xdaily, but have worked up to 12mg 2xdaily. I have had some mild...
Ditto what everyone's saying!!!!! I saw my psychotherapist today and she said it's the first time she's really worried about me. yikes I'm so needing to cry, but don't have the energy to make it...
I've be taking Interfase Plus for Biofilms. Don't know if its working or not? It's enzymes that supposedly breaks down biofilm. I'm curious what dose of Stromectol others have taken or are on. I'm...
My son was tested using the DNA mouth swab. We knew about gluten sensitivity so his Lyme doctor wanted him tested further. He had 1 celiac gene and 1 gluten sensitivity gene. The question is how many...
So, I'm learning a lot about the newly found and named Protomyxzoa bug. 70%+ Lyme patients I know have tested positive for it. After reading the Dr. Fry info on it, pretty much everyone over the age...
First of all, Congratulations on the new baby!!!! pregnancy can trigger Lyme disease symptoms. Pregnancy can also trigger other autoimmune type issues also. You probably should find a Lyme Literate...
Yes.....Please treat it!! I have Chronic Lyme disease and you don't want to have to deal with this. It may be a possible cause of Crohn's. Prophylactic Doxycycline for Lyme is 300-400mg daily for 28...
Hello All, I'm from the Lyme forum and have a sister that just got a Crohn's diagnosis. She left the Gastroenterologist today after having a colonoscopy with a stack of info on Crohn's. No...
wow, that must have been scary! Do you remember what they said about your EKG? Anyone else had this? Does this sound crazy?..... I'm thinking of taking that IV medication to my cardiologist and ask...
Yes, in sporting goods. Use knee high tube socks. Spray them, then put them on and push them down. You can look like a hippey hicker! It'll be cute, I promise. ; )...
Most of the hair loss is Thyroid related, so make sure to be tested for TSH, T3 and T4's, Lyme screws up all our hormone levels. All of them. I've heard of woman with Lyme having hemorrhage problems...
I just recently saw Permetherin at Walmart. Yeayyyy!!! Do NOT spray on your skin though. Get and carry a tick removal kit on you all the time. Or use tweezers closest to the skin and use circular...
Yes and no. Been on Cefotaxime and Cefepime. They are all in the same "Rocephin" family of drugs that have good results with Lyme treatments. Haven't been on the Probenecid though. Let us know how it...
Yes very weepy. I remember laughing at myself after crying from a radio commercial. I had that happen many times. I'm in my forth year of treatment now and don't have that happen too much. But every...
Yes, mines almost nil. You can take pills too. It was just suggested by an intern that was working with my LLMD to use Maca. Its a liquid herbal. It stimulates your body to make testosterone. I don't...
If you can afford it, see a Biologic dentist. If not, go to your dentist and tell them you're doctor wants you to see a Biologic dentist and maybe they will get all of the equipment they need. Ask...
OMG, I will NEVER use doxy ever again!!!! Even the heat in the full shade was too much for me. When I was in the sun it felt like hot skillets were on my skin. And I got so many side effects from...
Yes, it definetly can be overwhelming at times. I'm very doubtful you got a cavity just because of stopping the fluoride. With Lyme, the pH in your mouth and body is screwed up all the time. And...
How much does your daughter weigh? that might be the right dose if she's under 90ish pounds. When your under 100lbs, drugs go by weight. I would start her on the doxy asap. don't wait for the lab...
Yes. Fluoride in toothpaste is completely unnecessary. If your city water has fluoride, you really don't need it and can contribute to heavy metal poisoning. Look into having you're metal fillings...
OK, Buckmaster.....that name can only be true if you are an archery hunter!!! LOL That's me and that's probably what got me infected. So, great advice above. Take it and find an LLMD! Your risk...
Please understand, you have one chance and one chance only to kill it before it spreads to deep tissues of the whole body!!! Which means treatment for years and tens of thousands of dollars. Please...
Hello, I spent over a year trying to achieve a Herx from IV meds. I had been plateaued for about six months on orals and herbals. I went the IV route and have now tried 8 different combinations of at...

Hey, last week I had what felt like a heart attack and herx at the same time after infusing maybe 2cc of Cefotaxime. (in the Rocephin family). It was the scariest physical experience I've EVER...
In California, labs have to report all positive results of infectious diseases to the CDC. Which means, if you were tested by IGeneX lab in Palo Alto, Ca, then it was reported. That is, if you were...
Is your doc an LLMD? IF NOT, you need to get one. much luck to you....
Email me. there,s Dr. m in sac....
yes this is a good one! It's also a good idea to change probiotics every couple of months. More strands of bacteria the better! I always try to use one with at least 15billion count or higher. And...
