Yes I agree, its not too often you get a false positive in Lyme, they do happen but based on your symptoms I would say you were positive. I also recommend and Lyme Literate Doctor, your symptoms...
So I have finally managed to get back on to treatment this week and will be going back to Breakspear in 3 months for more tests. I am now taking Artesunate 80mg per day and Zinnat 1000mg per day for...
I think your right Roots Ruderalis, unfortunately its not like I have a choice in working night or not. Im going ask the doctor I think and see what he says. The thing that annoys me is they know I...
I have come up with a theory, talking about adrenals and thyroids has got me thinking. Since january this years I have been working night shifts. 2 weeks of night and 2 weeks of days. This could...

Ok so my last post was about body jerks that I have been having and after doing some reading that I probably shouldnt have done I am now extremely worried. Is it really possible for Lyme to turn into...

So its been three years since my first first lyme symptoms and I have been on and off abx ever since but lately I have been quite ill. I havent been having very much treatment because I cant afford...
Iv been thinking lately about blood transfusions and if it would be possible to partly treat Lyme with them. I know lyme can live in the other places other than blood but a large amount of it is in...
Twitching was my very first symptoms and has progressed and is now the most annoying one! I remember on one of my old abx I had non stop twitching for 3 days! Drove me crazy....

My dosages will be 400 mg doxy daily, 500mg azith anf im not sure about the flagy yet. Any advice on dosage?...
My normal GP's are clueless and have been treating myself for around 6 months due to money problems. I have been in flagyl and doxy before and was ok on both but I have Bart which I really need to be...
Hi just wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to take Doxycycline, Azithromcin and Flagyl all at the same time. Thanks :)...

Im not sure if im allowed to post this but after all of this lymes disease and bartonella to top it all off I just split up with my girlfriend of 7 years. This is the last thing I need and now I have...
No problem, no you dont need a prescription and I have never had any issues with customs and I highly doubt you will, just contact the company and they should sort it I would imagine. Like I said...
I would say the 1000mg of cipro is a must and yes you definitely need a cyst busted, flagyl or tinidazaole and im currently not taking doxy as well but if there is no interaction between cipro and...
Well as far as my symptoms go I would say they mirror your exactly. I began neuro symptoms like vertigo, twitching fingers and muscles which was quickly followed by knee crunching along with pretty...
I have a similar story to yours, once I realised I had Lyme I visited a Dr David Owen in Cardiff who has an interest in tick born diseases. He placed me on Doxy for 3 months for my Lyme and...

Yeh vertigo was one of the first things that happened to me the first time I took antibiotics and its been around ever since on and off. Its a horrible feeling but the more I improve the better it...
I was told i had MS by my doctors and before they even took an MRI. I was sure I had lyme so I did no more and went to see a Lyme literate doctor. He diagnosed me initially on my symptoms and then...
I think it could well be Bartonella anxiety, I think my bart is worse than my lyme and I have the EXACT same thing. Its a constant feeling of unrest and anxiety and it hasn't happened for a while but...
Finally started antibiotics again after being unable to afford them for about 3 months. I am pretty sure my bartonella is stopping me from killing my lyme so i'm now treating with rifampicin. I...
Are you having much look with the low carb yet? I have tried the weight watchers but dont think its great for lyme patients, im sure you will se results with the low carb....

Ah ok lol, its around 20 pounds, and thanks :)...
