Deejavu...and that link has what to do with listening to ringtones over the phone to cure disease? No need to forgive me. The fact that the link provides anecdotal belief that one can fling poop on a...
....and their facebook page re-routes you to their disclaimer page where it is stated, among other things, to not discontinue seeing your doctor, and not discontinue your medicine/therapy for your...
...as to the aspartame....food manufacturers are also putting it into REGULAR items, such as sugared (not sugar free) gum. Bought some regular Wrigley's Doublemint, and ASPARTAME is added to it as...
My husband felt sick on the 4th day, by sick I mean extreme exhaustion and fatigue and stayed home from work and slept 14 more hours past the time he would have left the house for work. On rising, he...
This thread, to me, is quite frightening. While I can understand the concept of positive thinking, I don't understand the concept of hearing tones over the phone that program the mind to kill...
I want to add that the detoxing can be very helpful as it was to my husband. The baths and the foot baths, particularly, were helpful. (I could not convince him to do the body brushing, however.) If...
Wow. Seriously? I am at a loss....
We have been very cautious in our spending for a while due to the economy. There was a great deal (5 payments) on a Vita Mix and we've been wanting one for a while (not that we eat terribly...
Here here. The mods and many of the "regular" people are wonderful and I absolutely understand the amount of time and effort put in. If I've done or written anything out of turn, I would totally...
here is a site for the ESR: http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/esr/glance.html testing is ordered to check for arthritis, inflammation, infection I cannot answer to your ELISA....
A. They may be ignorant or B. they are afraid to go near lyme with a 10 foot pole. The less they have to do with lyme, the better. They don't get written up or harassed by insurance companies or the...
The cdc and the idsa do not care about this disease...they want it buried under the carpet..to tell the truth would bankrupt the world (although that is on the way to happening for other reasons...
Hi Oldschool. I have one question for you....do you live northeast like me and been shoveling mounds of snow since Xmas? My back has been put through the ringer this season. I agree, it is easy to...
ME is similar to and/or often referred to as either mistakenly or purposely CFS. (I just read that by way of a quick Google search). Both are neuro. Lyme can manifest itself in the CNS. Recent...
Hiya Samik05, first let me start by saying my husband has lyme, and I am here for him. While my experience is recent and limited, allow me to address some of your concerns. I know I too had them....
On Friday, hubby started taking/recording his temp. Just so you have something to compare to without fresh garlic in someone else, and because its topical here are the numbers. On any given day,...
Well, I'm the last one to be offering anything, but I had the same question about "never getting well" and someone answered me that yes, there are "success stories" but those people tend to move on...
When insurance declines outright is there no way to get them to pay anything at all? Or, is there like a "out of network" coverage where the receipts can be submitted after the fact--or is it a flat...
Wonderful article. I can see a lot of truth in it. We are, most of us, living an unhealthful life that was, in the beginning, through no fault of our own, being brought up in the pattern that our...
I would be extremely careful considering this drug. The side effects don't seem worth it to me, unless I was in excruciating pain and looking for the last hope. Also, there are many drugs listed that...
Have you read anywhere that the spirochetes can be seen using a just drawn blood sample (my words...I think the wording used is "live" blood) and looking under a dark field microscope? A google...
I read this traveler....it is quite a long read and a lot to sift through, I thought, to get to the useful information, but thank you....
We actually just bought a box of these but haven't used them yet. Hubby has been doing the baths and the foot soaks, which seem to help. If he ever gets these pads on his feet, I''ll let you know...
I am tired y'all. I seem to live, eat, breathe, think lyme disease. When I sleep, I dream it too. Hugs to all. Chick...
If this is a repost, please delete. http://fayobserver.com/articles/2011/01/23/1064679 the comments section is worth a read also We can only hope that perhaps soon the top will blow off of this and...
Positive tests, ELISA and WBlot were both from Labcorp in the past 2 months. Of course, that didn't stop the infec. dis. dr. from telling hubby they were false positives, although he didn't explain...
I have put the list together for hubby to get proactive in his own healing and make a choice. If you don't see me around for a little bit, it means I don't have much to add to the conversation and I...
springsjean, you have given me a name of an LLMD in south (or central?) jersey; I have given that name to my husband. We are very close to Newark, and the referral from lymenet generally refers us to...
Thanks in advance. I have 1 name already; am putting together a list for hubby to pick who he wants to see....
If hubby were not so symptomatic, I could be happy believing this. Of course, this was the trip to the infectious disease doctor that could have gone either way. Either he would clinically diagnose...
Traveler, let me be the first one to state that y'all are a wonderful group of people...very welcoming, very supportive, very knowledgeable and very informative. Thank you for that. None of you,...
Once you "get rid of" babesia, bartonella, and I'm adding erhlichia to my post...wouldn't one NOT find them in a current test since the body has been rid of them? Might as well ask about all co...
Joy. I have mountains of snow surrounding our house. One cannot walk from the front to the back via the perimeter of our house through the gate because it is blocked with 5 feet of snow. I have been,...
9 a.m. got the answering machine; left message and my work number. 4:30 p.m. called to leave hubby's cell - reception (?) answered. To make a long, strange conversation shorter, the basics are: You...
Indeed, you both make sense to me and I'm taking your advice!!!!!! Hubby has been sick--we don't know for how long but his CNS is definitely involved. Generally, as we age we chalk a lot up to that...
When you call, you get a message. It states to leave your number if you are calling for an appointment. I left 3 messages in the course of a week. No response. Hubby didn't ask for this referral. Is...
Traveler, I had not thought of that - via the phone after initial. Wonderful idea if there is nothing closer. I appreciate that....
Ah. I didn't realize there was no email in my contact. I will correct that asap. Thank you. Email is visible now. Thanks again....
If you know of an LLMD in northern new jersey, please email me. I tried the website referral page; I got referrals in New York instead - probably because we are close to ny in mileage, however...
Then why don't the doctors treat everyone with successive rounds of ABX and go after the co-infections at the same time? THAT seems to make the most sense. I really don't understand why treatment...
The CDC tracks you, but doesn't "want" or "allow" a percentage(?) some(?) most(?) all(?) to be cured by putting in place poor testing and treatment standards? Is that the gist of it? Has anyone been...
How to interpret??? Test: Bb antibody screening test (blood drawn on 12/14; results given on 12/30) Titer/Antibody: PRESENT/Value: 1.18 Positive >1.09 The above are, what I assume, taken from the...
Questions: What is the success rate of curing the co-infections--is it right to assume they are easier to get rid of than the Bb bacteria? How often do they occur with the Bb--what are the chances...
Thank you for those lovely thoughts, Traveler. I shoveled about 90% then hubby joined me. I did not want him to tax himself, but he is a man and there was no stopping him today. He stayed home. I...
I am pretty sure you can get a free meter on a few sites - google free meter .... of course, it would only come with a starter bit of strips, but you could get a prescription to reorder them, no?...
@ bucci ....he works INSIDE. That is why his response was so weird to me. That work is 45 minutes from home, and he has seen the occasional deer on the highway there, and has had occasion to, for...
He was surprised to answer his cell and receive this call. While I can't get a clear gist of the conversation, as he is being vague and probably having some foggy thinking, what I can pull out of him...
Reading and learning about this disease is so new for me. I just want to say thank you thus far for everyone's responses. I also want to add that I am so sorry for those of you and your loved ones...
Quoting Achievinggrace: "Why is anyone being tested multiple times? The test only shows if you have antibodies present. As the disease suppresses your immune system, you don't produce the...
Achievinggrace, Traveler and Harleyrider...THANKS so much. I greatly appreciate your replies. I have had my share of downs and curveballs (nothing to do with lyme in my case)....and I was noticing...
