...another thing... I don't know if magnesium is to blame -- I've been taking it for a few weeks now, but I have been trying to up it from 100 mg twice a day to 200 mg twice a day. I've backed back...
Wow -- I jut read this whole thing. Thanks so much for posting it. Nancy...
Thank you for letting me know. :-) Blessings to you, Nancy...
Samjones, are you still around? If so, I'd really like to hear if there's a particular book or link you could direct me to that addresses the issues you've brought up in these last two posts about...
I've gleaned some good thoughts from all of these recent posts. Lymester, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. Interestingly, my husband and I are skeptics in a lot of ways as well --...
Thanks. I'm glad the helpful intent has come across in what I've shared. I also want to clarify that I'm not suggesting that mercury toxicity is an issue for everyone who has Lyme. It sounds like...
I'm responding to Lymester's message -- you bring up some really good, classic points about things. I, too, I share my experience with all manner of disclaimer, as I am not a health professional,...
Hi, Ocean63, I'm sorry I'm just now responding to your post. I've not been active on watching this board recently (I come and go as life allows), but I just got a notification of your post today....
The ISAC panel -- is that a hypercoagulation panel? I don't know if I had that particular panel done, but I did have a Hemex hypercoagulation panel done, and my doc says it's positive on two counts....
In response to Lymester, your angle about Cutler's mercury chelation protocol is welcome, and it's good to consider all points of view. I imagine chasing mercury poisoning would be going down just...
It's been awhile since I've done IV Rocephin, but I'll give you my two-cents' worth in random bullet order... * I have mainly neurological Lyme, not much of a pain issue, so if you're the opposite...
It can be so frustrating to be spoken to by a doctor who assumes you're a poor naive idiot who believes anything he/she reads on the internet...and it's very tempting to want to prove you're not the...
Thanks again for the input. About, "Why not just put off pregnancy until after treatment?" That's an excellent question, but docs believe I've had Lyme for possibly a long, long time prior to...
I'm a newbie here, but in the off chance that this may be new news to anyone, I've learned that many people who have Lyme also have a mercury poisoning issue. After researching the issue, my husband...
If I were to become pregnant, what kinds of antibiotics and/or other treatments for Lyme would I have to stop? I.e., what typical Lyme treatments would not be safe during pregnancy? I'm particularly...
Speaking of night sweats. I've been having what I think are "night sweats" lately... I don't toss and turn and don't even necessarily feel hot all night, but I'll often suddenly wake up in the middle...
Thanks for the reply, Bucci. It was not what I was hoping to hear, as I really feel I need this magnesium, but it's good to know. You ask how I know I need magnesium. It's just anecdotal, but I've...
My doc tried low dose Naltrexone with me, because I'm so sensitive to everything -- i.e., I tend to have a negative reaction to supplements that I try. So, he tried LDN with me as a way to help me be...
Thanks, Traveler! I *love* the quote by Dr. Masters. Boy, can we relate to that one! I already appreciate this site. I tried another one where I could see that many, many posts get reads but no...
Thanks, RitaA and SpringsJean for the help. I appreciate the links and will look forward to reading them. Fortunately, I have seen several different LLMDs, most local, and I have just last week been...
Hi, I have Lyme/Babesia and also mercury poisoning. I've tried to avoid taking magnesium as I've heard it "feeds" Lyme bacteria. However, I've been chelating for mercury poisoning and have reached a...
