Thanks everyone for all of your responses! I took your advise and will not be taking this vitamin again. I thought it was a great idea at the time. After all, it offered energy and mental clarity. I...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif I thought I was doing a good thing by purchasing the One A Day Energy vitamin. Unfortunately, shortly after taking it, I began to feel like something was wrong. Now...
Hello Deb, I just read your blog. It's amazing. Reading it brought me a sense of comfort. Especially, since I nearly burned my apartment down yesterday for the third time. In spite of everything I've...
Hello Traveler, I read that Lyme can cause Bells Palsy. I'm really concerned that my runny nose micht be a symptom. Should I be concerned or is it just another annoying symptom of Lyme? Willie...
Hello HorseHelper, Thanks for asking your doctor. I'm with you. I absolutely do not believe it's something else. This is a new symptom that began after a month on doxy. My symptoms went away for a...
Thanks Traveler for the advice. I will make it a point to get the copies and post them for further understanding. I was not aware that being diagnosed with Fibro was common with Lyme patients. Bucci,...
Kirsty, I was diagnosed with Lyme early December '2010. I was put on doxy for approximately one month by my pcp and referred to a Neurologist who diagnosed me a few days ago with Fibromyalgia. That's...
Thanks bauhaus! I especially love the lavender oil and rocking chair ideas! I felt relaxed just imagining it. I look forward to trying them to see what works best. Thanks again for sharing what works...
Hello Kirsty, Thanks for your response. I have not had any breathing or immune test done as of yet. How is the immune system tested? I do get out of breath easily. I always thought it was strange...
My sentiments, exactly!..................Willie...
Thanks HorseHelper for your response. Do you still have this problem? Is there anything I can do about it? I was just diagnosed in early December '2010. I'm still learning too. Take...
For the past few weeks I've had this one nostril at a time runny nose with no cold. It comes and goes and I have no idea why. I mentioned it to the neurologist yesterday and he diagnosed me with...
Thanks for thinking of me CajunGrl! That sounds like something I would like to try.................Willie...
Thanks everyone! This forum is such a great resource. I'm grateful for all of your responses. While I can't try them all at once, I'm glad to have all the options ....................Willie...
I haven't slept in about a week. I've had this issue before but never this bad. I can't shut my mind down. I go to bed exhausted only to feel anxiety kick in the minute I try to sleep. I toss and...
Hi lylaso, I'm a bit worried because after one month of abx my doctor stopped treatment. He has referred me to a neurologist and ran more blood work which came back negative the second time around....
Hello springsjean, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through with your friends. I know how hard that is. I still struggle to stand my ground with letting those who claim they care know...
Thanks Traveler! You're too much. You always manage to make me laugh:) You're advice helps very much. Is it possible to take too much magnesium? I already take a multi vitamin that that has 100...
For the past few days I've had this buzzing feeling. I've had it also in the past. I was wondering if anyone might know what would possibly cause this very unusual feeling...............Willie...
Thanks Traveler! I have so much more understanding now about what Lyme disease actually is and what it can do. Because of the knowledge I have gained on this forum I have chosen to live as stress...
Thanks for that article Cat111. It was eye opening for me. I now have a better understanding of why (as I've been told by some on this forum) it's so very important to keep a positive attitude. I...
Thank you Jeanne, Your response brought tears to my eyes this morning. You're right. I will try to do my best each day and learn and not give up. I'd never heard anything about the body being created...
Thanks guys! I am amazed at how much knowledge you all have about this complexing disease. Everything you stated makes so much sense. Thank you for your advise. I am going to p/u a copy of the blood...
I will get a copy as soon as possible. It's snowing again so I'll be homebound for a couple of days. I'm really scared. I'm a single mom and I don't want anything to happen to me. I wish I had...
I'm so confused, I wanna sream! My doctor's office just called and said my 2nd test is negative. How is that possible? Is it me? Why am I not getting this? If the first test was positive for Lyme how...
Thanks Cheezhead and Achievinggrace for your responses! I am so disgusted in the medical profession right now. Here I thought that once I had a diagnosis I would be well on my way to full recovery....
I am completely surprised that Lyme is contagious! I had no idea. I've heard that some people say it is, but I didn't know it had actually happened. Please pardon my ignorance. The thought of this is...
I've come to the conclusion that Perhaps the reason the medical profession doesn't seem concerned about Lyme may be that it's not contagious. I believe if it were contagious, they would most...
Hello Cheezhead, I guess that explains why my doctor wants me to see a neurologist. I couldn't understand this. If I tested positive for Lyme and I have all of the classic symptoms why continue to do...
I saw my doctor for the first time yesterday since his phone call to me informing me that I have Lyme Disease and he didn't even take the time to explain anything to me. After making me wait nearly...

Hi LupnerRN! You took the words right out of my mouth! I wish my doctor would have told me at the very least that I may need further treatment. I was told I have Lyme over the phone and instructed to...
Hello traveler! I appreciate your sense of humor. It's nice to laugh about some of these crazy symptoms. As I told Wacko Woman "I admire your stength". Thank you also for the suggested reading. I...
Hi Wacko Woman! It scares me too. Especially when I have problems with my memory. I left my stove on twice and went to pick my son up from school. Thank God it was on low flame and I didn't burn the...

Thanks bauhaus! I'm glad you get it. So few people do. It's funny you should mention Eckerd Tolle. I have his book on "The power of the Now". The Scape-goat symdrome is a good name for people who...

Hello Cajungrl! Unfortunatly my "so called" husband left us about a year ago when I was becoming progressively worse. I was going to all kinds of doctors and none could find what was wrong. I was...
Hello roseinjanuary, I can't really tell you whether or not it's favortism. I do however think you feel like it is and I'm sure your feelings are valid. What good would it do for you to know all the...
