Thanks Traveler. I meant "old" post. Duh. I can't get a herx even with IV treatment. When I added Arteminisin on my own, all I did was sweat. Constantly! I don't know if it is a side effect of it...
Traveler, this is an od post but I have the same issue and was wondering if you have Babesia....
found it. Does anyone have experience with Dr. D. in Ohio?...
I am in need of the contact information of a doctor in Seven Hills, OHIO. The ILADS referral person is out at a conference today so can't help me. Any info would be appreciated. My email address is...
Nana, I can't post doctors names on here and your email address is not available so I have no way of sending you any information. Click on my name ( wiseguy) and you will see my email address. Send...
Nana, where do you live in Michigan? I live in Michigan too and may be able to help with a doctor....
Yes, exercise makes me go downhill. Not everyone but it does for me. Yes, people do die from lyme but I do not plan on it. I was just emphasizing the happiness of finding answers. I have not gotten...
Believe me, I understand your relief. I have a 10 year old and a twelve year old so being undiagnosed is/was terrifying to say the least. I had three ELISA tests done and they were all negative. I...
Puzit, Yes, I have ALS symptoms and muscle wasting. I have lost the use of my left side. I have foot drop on the left foot and my left leg just drags along when I walk. My left arm and hand are very...
I have the old "Jade" model. I did not feel that it was warm at all on the low setting so I jacked it up to the highest setting and stayed on mine for a hour. It feels like a giant heating pad. I was...
Purple, Did you ever find an answer? I bought a used biomat off of eBay but am still waiting for it. I bought the less powerful Jade one instead of the more popular and powerful amethyst one. I will...
I read on the forum that you should not take Flagyl with alcohol but would one or two drops of Nutramedix Houttuynia really make a difference? If you have any experience with Nutramedix Houttuynia,...
When taking the capsule form of HH, how much do you take to start off with? I am usually sensitive to medications so I want to start off slow. Thanks...
I am taking Flagyl and feel pretty good. I did have a major yeast battle for a couple of weeks so I stopped for a week but I am now back on it with no problems yet. I actually think it has made me...
What is the difference between Bolouke (Lumbrokinase) and Serrapeptase as far as action. Don't they both do the same thing?...
Britney, Could you please e-mail me your Montgomery County Doctor?...
I am cutting and pasting from another forum for those who want information about antibiotics:...
Taking both my kids for blood draws today and then Fed-Exing to IGenex. I think I already now the results but it is still better than a life of not knowing....
Peacesoul, I will be starting Flagyl soon. Did it hurt your stomach? - Is that why it almost killed you or was there another reason?...
Carrie, I was up last night worrying about the same thing. I have had several MRI's over the past few years that showed nothing. Finally in 2009, they found a small lesion on my brain stem. I had a...
I put caspian cream on my sore feet one time and it burned my feet so bad. I was miserable for three days! I had a massage therapist tell me castor oil for muscle pain. I have been using it for a...
I received my disability fairly quickly because lyme has affected my arm and hand so you can "see" some of my disability. I loved my job too. I went to night school for years to get where I was. That...
Boy Mook, I really feel for you both. Unfortunately, He is the one who has to have the will to continue no matter what protocol he chooses. The doc could find a medicine that could turn him around...
Dagger' because your symptoms are so similar to mine, what antibiotics were you on? Mook, see if your friend will search some of these forums for support. Lots of people have feeding tubes for...
When I found out I had Lyme, I went to the Internet to read everything I could find. There was a girl on you tube who had some treatment relapses and had to have a feeding tube placed because she had...
I too have serious physical problems. I have lost the use of my left hand and arm. I cannot walk unaided and have drop foot on the left side. My left side is very weak. Lots of left hand and arm...
Oshea, I live in Sterling Heights, Mi. Click on my name. (wise guy) and send me an email. I can tell you the dr.'s in MI....
I don't know when I was infected but I have had worsening symptoms for 12 years. I have been hit hard physically and can no longer walk without a cane or wheelchair. I've been on 5 different...
Unfortuneatly, I have had no change - better or worse. Np side effects. This week is the beginning of my 4th week. I was awake most of last night questioning my diagnosis because of no herx or...
24/7 - Never Stops. From my lower back to my feet....
I am in bad physical shape from Lyme. I have very little use of my left hand and arm. I am typing this with one finger on my right hand. I can no longer walk unaided. I need a cane or something to...
I had my third appointment with my LLMD yesterday and after 3 months of orals and no progress, he wants me to start IV Rocephin. I was really positive at first but then on the drive home I started to...
I hear so much about Lyme causing migranes, fatigue, depression, and cognitive issues but does anyone have any noticeable physical symptoms? Limping, leg or arm weakness, dexterity issues............?...
I'm intrigued by this post. I was taking zithromax and Plaquinil and had the exact same ic symptoms as you. I thought it was the medication so I stopped taking it. How do you know it's Bart and not...
I woke up having a nightmare about starting Plaquinil tomorrow. I dreamt my hair fell out! I already have super thin hair that doesn't grow and really don't want to lose more. I started googling...
My symptoms are constant, no flares or cycles. I do have maybe a 20% increase in leg stiffness around my period but that is all I notice. All pain, weakness, and cognitive issues are 24/7....

I began treatment on July 1st with doxy. But never had a herx. Yesterday my llmd switched me to zithro and plaquenil. I googled zither. and read it does not kill bacteria, only keeps it from...
I am from Michigan. I live in Sterling Heights and have had 1 visit so far with Dr. L. I am looking for feedback on Michigan Doctors....
IKR, Rite Aid ran out! I have only been on for four weeks. My legs are stiff as boards and extremely painful. Maybe just a coincidence. ?? Thanks!...
My pharmacy did not have any doxy yesterday and I was out of my prescription. They said they would have it today so I thought no biggie, I can go without it today. Well today I have the worst leg...
Congrats! - It's nice to feel you are in good hands. I like my Lyme doctor so far too. My doctor s recommended to me by the Michigan Lyme Association and only treats Lyme patients and only accepts...
I too have had lyme for many years and was so terrified of a herx reaction and now after three weeks of antibiotics, I am upset that I have felt nothing and wishing for a herx! It's crazy what we...
I hear a lot about the cost of lyme but not sure what i am in for. I have had one dr. vist at $350.00 and a prescription of doxy. that was covered by insurance. (10.00) What are people paying for...
Any comments welcome. Not a happy camper today. I was so afraid of a herx and now I am upset because nothing has happened....
THANK YOU TRAVELER!...
I am on 300mg doxy daily for two weeks. No changes. From what i read on the internet, someone with my symptoms should be treated aggressively. I have only seen my LLMD once but worried I might waste...
I have found a doctor in Michigan but not treating aggressively. I can no longer walk or use left side of my body....
I saw LLMD on July 1st and he has started me on 300 mg Doxy. daily. I'm glad someone is trying something but I am still skeptical. The LLMD thinks everything is caused by Lyme and I am not. I am...
A very short bio: I was born and Michigan in 1965. In 1979 I moved to Maryland after the divorce of my parents. In 1995 I moved back to Michigan to live closer to my sister. I am 45 years old,...
