I'm so glad you were touched, and maybe inspired by my story. Please feel free to pass along the link. I especially feel that we are indeed kindrid spirits, as we are fighting a disease that is...
I want to share this story. It's my prayer that someone will be encouraged and uplifted after watching this. I want to remind everyone to never give up the fight! We are not alone in our fight...
Thank you for the information!! From what I can tell here, I DON'T need to be over-using my arms. Well, maybe I should stop Curves.....but I really need the strength training now. If it hurts my arm,...
All my symptoms are gone. Except one; but not for sure if permanent or temporary. I have what my LLPA calls "tennis elbow" or tendonitis. He says he really "doesn't know" about it. I'm doing nothing...
My first thought upon seeing the red line spots was an allergic reaction to the medication you were taking. It's possible....but your overall symptoms sound suspicious. I hope you find the answers!!...
I only had 41 positive, but I have LYme. If you have reactive band, you probably have it. It is not diagnosed by a test. It is diagnosed by symptoms. You must get to a Lyme Literate doctor asap. The...
Link here: http://hubpages.com/hub/Hushed-Truth-about-Lyme-Disease-My-Story-Part-4 I'm continuing my quest to promote Lyme disease awareness by writing & publishing another segment in my story....
allieann: Very interesting information. I've noticed quite a bit of response from Southern CA...I'll just bet there's more there thatn we will ever know!...
Junk Yard Willy: HI....yes, I was aware that more bands will be present after treating. Interesting, isn't it? they die off, they show up. That's why the LLMD will tell you they base it on clinical...
I'm going to look into this also. My LLMD told me my CD 57 number was a bit high for Lyme infection. He said the number is usually 40-80 for Lyme. Mine was 119. So go figure......we till are treating...
I think the testing is interesting, as well as misleading. I just bet it has something to do with how long the bacteria has been in your body. We suspect that may be why I don't come up...
Just remember that Igenex states on their test results the following: "Diagnosis should not be based on laboratory tests alone. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms &...
Wow....my CD57 Absolute for Lyme was 119. High. Not indicitive for Lyme, but have the symptoms & a few positive bands. Interesting....
Hi yall...........Extreme Ne Tx / Sw Ar....
Note to those participating: Please remember I'm not looking for political correctness here. I just want to hear from the people & hopefully find out where they contracted Lyme. Thank you all for...
OneWearyChick said... An important issue to your poll that seems to be overlooked is that some people may not live where they contracted lyme, some just don't know. I live in Central Florida (not...
InfectedinFL said... Regardless of the accuracy of this poll, I find it very interesting that North Florida is second only to SE PA! So much for no Lyme in Florida Thank you very much for this...
Simela said... If you want to use the info for anything, other than your own curiosity, you have to be careful how you are doing the poll. From my fuzzy statistics classes, I remember that you have...
Since Traveler has asked, I'll tell you that I want to know the answers! My plan is to use the information in a paper, hopefully. I want to prove that Lyme is in every state. I want my own answers, I...
The way I'm fighting back is by writing about my experience & posting on Hubpages. I'm also doing a video diary on Youtube. I talk about it to everyone, including Medical Doctors I come in...
http://hubpages.com/hub/Where-Do-People-Contract-Lyme-Disease-A-Research-Poll I have created a poll to determine where each individual contracted Lyme disease, by state & section of state. It is...
When I tried to do the no carb/low carb thing, I got constipated. So, being that there is a balance to all things...... I decided to choose items that had no sugar added or a high fiber content....
My friends, I have just completed & published my third video/narrative article on Hubpages.com about living with Lyme disease, my thoughts, symptoms, & emotions. Please, please.....don't give...
I pray it's not sexually transmitted! I've talked to my hubby about this. He's not overly concerned at this point, not enough to insist on protected sex. We are both in our fifties, so children...
If it was me, I'd refuse to submit my medical records and do everything possible to protect my LLMD. What are they gonna do, throw somebody in jail for refusing to release the records? I'd fight it,...
This is a very interesting question. I have only my own experience to compare to it, but I first started on 200mg daily on June 12.....herxed on the 6th, 7th, 8th day bad. Very helpless feeling, flu...
I'm determined not to stay silent. I will continue to post & write about my experience in order to get the word out. If we stay silent, nothing will happen. So I have written part 2 of a...
Thank you....I won't stop....
I refuse to lay down & die from this. This is how I will keep fighting, vocally. Please allow me to share my own battle with Lyme at...
spaztick: ABOUT THE TEST I GOT... I forgot to tell you before that the test I had was from Specialty Labs in CA. It showed 'Present' under the p41. I looked it up & i t stands for the flagella, or...
spaztick said... Hi Donotfear, I'm sorry for being quiet but I have not been feeling well at all this month. I started a new antibiotic (new for me) last Saturday, and the Herxheimer reaction has...
I have an appointment with a LLMD on July 6th. They want to retest me thru Igenex so that means I have to cease my Doxy in order for the test to be accurate. The office assured me the most accurate...
I just ordered the book "Beating Lyme Disease" by Dr. Jernigan. It 's another good start for me. Thanks for the referral....

[b] the same time the symptoms did, or shortly thereafter. Thanks.[/color]...
I don't have the nerve to do a coffee enema. No way......I'll stick with the Oxy Powder. Thanks for your encouragement...I'm going to try to call Dr. F again on MOnday. Wish me luck! ...
I'm using the oxygen based Oxy Powder. It's very natural and easy on the tummy, plus it works very well!...
I've already started the Epsom salt/Hydrogen Peroxide soaks with ginger. I drink tons of water & green tea as well. I have been taking Oxy powder at night for colon cleansing....which is not...
I have begun to feel this same way & only been on Doxy for 1 week. It seems worse in the morning, as I have the shakes. I feel better in my mind as the day progresses, but my body feels dragged...
I've read the many benfits of detoxing. Is this supposed to be done during the round of antibiotic, or after? I know it's supposed to help rid the body of toxins, which I feel building up in me. I...
spaztick: Yes, I have just started experiencing increase in fatigue, sleepiness, weakness. I felt really good on June 14 & 15. Then BOOM, when I got back from Seattle, it hit me like a lead...
I appreciate the feedback from everyone. After today, I can tell I will be on my own as far as finding a doctor who knows anything about this disease. I've had -0- luck except for getting the chest...
Help. I got several tick bites during days of May 6,7,8 on a cattle drive in NW Arkansas Ozarks. Started getting tired near end of May. Symtpoms: * [i]chronic fatigue, no energy, blurred vision,...
