Their policy is that they do not discriminate as long as you can adequately perform the position functions, which includes the hours and what not. Leaving early would put me outside that range, but I...
I just don't want them to resent me for not saying something sooner. They would have not hired me for sure if they knew I had medical issues. I have heard of companies making things up to get you...
Thanks so much for the post pirouette! I'm so glad to hear from someone in a similar situation. What did you ultimately end up doing? If I lose this job my dad will be so disappointed. He has never...
I could really use some advice. I've been dealing with Lyme and Babesia for almost six years now. I've gotten much better but I'm having a really tough time right now. I just finished my degree a few...
That's why I'm hesitant to go to a neurologist. Even if they did an MRI and found lesions, there wouldn't really be anything to do about it. So do I just get used to it?...
Hello everyone! I've been battling Lyme and Babesia since I got my diagnosis in 2011. Things have certainly improved with the oral and muscular antibiotic injects but I have neurological Lyme so I'm...
I'm at 200 mg myself but it's only every five days! I don't know if I could take it everyday! It's not causing me any severe side effects just a little dizziness a few hours after taking it and some...
I have a lot of experience with the Artemesinin and Mepron so my question is really about Lariam....
Hi everyone! I just started Lariam today after being on Mepron for a few months. I'm also taking Artemesinin. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has taken this and had anything to share. I know that...
I just wanted to tell everyone to contact WebMd regarding their Lyme information here: http://arthritis.webmd.com/tc/lyme-disease-treatment-overview It's such a poorly written article that misinforms...
Thanks for the help! I started the HH2 today and am starting to feel it after a second dose. My lymph nodes are very swollen and my head is so foggy. I'm glad I took a detox bath today!...
Hello everyone! Upon finding a great new Lyme doc i'm being treated for co-infections. We are doing herbal treatments first to see how my body reacts. I just started taking Artemisinin yesterday...
I met with the new doctor and she is AMAZING! I'm on new supplements and start treatment for Babesia and Bartonella in a week. I will be starting hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy soon along with...
I'm going to see a new Lyme doctor tomorrow to hopefully start treatment on co-infections that I suspect I have but as of this past week i've been herxing almost every day. My vision is blurry and I...
Definitely don't overdo it with the massages! I had one a few weeks ago and while it was a wonderful massage it triggered one of the worst herxes i've ever had. I suppose technically that is a good...
I definitely have sound sensitivity sometimes. It seems to happen when i'm herxing. My mom will be talking normally and it sounds like she's shouting! But when i'm herxing EVERYTHING hurts, my head,...
My eyes go blurry a lot. Before I knew I had Lyme I thought something was up with my vision because it felt "off". Things would go in and out of focus and bright lights really bothered me. I had my...
Thanks very much for the words of comfort :) I had a Lyme doc recommended to me by a friend. She swears by him so I made an appointment to see him in a few short weeks. I just need these...
Thank you so much for your reassurance everyone! I have been feeling so guilty lately, like i'm some kind of psycho. I personally think I have Bartonella as well but my doc won't treat me for...
Hi everyone. I'm starting to do a bit better after four months of treatment but I have a question about anxiety and OCD in relation to Lyme. Before I knew I had Lyme I started having increasing panic...
I got a hold of the new doctor's office. You have to do a phone consult first and the soonest they can speak to me is March with another 2 month waiting period to actually see the doctor so it looks...
Yes I watched it. I didn't start getting them till I started treatment. He doesn't have an emergency number the recording just says to call 911. I'm just talking to my best friend and she's calming...
I'm being treated for Lyme. Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin. Almost at my third month of treatment. Seizures getting worse...
I don't know what to do anymore. I just had several seizures today. They were so bad. Now I can't stop vomiting. My doctor still hasn't called me back. I can't go to the ER they'll just make me wait...
Omg Traveler, that was so cool to see my doctor on the video! I suppose I should have just asked him about IV but I get a little nervous when I talk to him because I don't want to seem like i'm...
That's a really good point actually. I will start keeping a journal. I'm sure it will help me. Thanks!...
Thank you for your inspiration! I called the doctor's office and told them the seizures were getting worse and I need some answers. I need to either see a new doc or start treatment for the...
Oh sorry about that! I'll email you ASAP. Thanks again!...
That would be really appreciated! I have been sick for about two years. I can only take a guess as to when I was bitten and I believe that it was the summer of 2008 in Colorado. I don't know whether...
I called and left them a message today telling them that they seizures are getting worse and i'd really like to know what I should do! I mentioned Bartonella in the message; hopefully they won't...
I have been tested for co-infections but it came back negative. He seems to think it's Babesia so I sent off more blood yesterday. He didn't want to treat me for it without a positive test but I have...
I met with the doctor yesterday. He didn't seem concerned about the seizure or even familiar with them being related to Lyme. I just had a terrible seizure tonight. I'm not really able to walk right...
So I might be starting my Babesia treatment and I was wondering what to expect. He said it was going to be worse than the Lyme treatment but I can't imagine how that would be possible! Can anyone...
I just called and bumped up the appointment to next week. Is there something that they can do about it?...
I think I really need to be treated for Babesia. The air hunger is getting bad again. I'm going in on Dec 2nd and will talk to him about it then. Thanks for your kind words!...
Hi everyone, i've noticed lately that I tend to have good weeks vs bad weeks or clumps of good days and then some bad. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I've been doing the detox...
Yes I had a tilt table test yesterday and it confirmed the POTS. It was scary I almost passed out! It really shook me up but the doc prescribed beta blockers so I have to start taking those too. I've...
I'm definitely herxing these days. I can feel it in my brain. It's so bad right now. I got diagnosed with Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome today as well. Looks like the Lyme has damaged my...
You guys are so supportive and helpful. I'm very thankful that there is a place like this where I can come and not feel so alone. I recommended my family watch Under Our Skin and once they did they...
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement everybody! I think I have been down these past couple of days because my period has been very bad (TMI I know). Usually it's very light and short and...
Hey everyone. I find that i'm feeling really down these days. I never really had depression before I got sick and i'm not sure how to go about it. I'm on Lexapro to try and help but it's not doing...
Haha it's true I wouldn't feel better. I suppose it just feels like they're insinuating that i'm making it up. Like you don't look sick = you aren't really sick....
He said he strongly suspected Babesia but I tested negative and he wants to retest in a few months. He said that the treatment was pretty hard on the body. I wouldn't mind doing the treatment for it...
I was just wondering, does anyone have excessive sweating? It seems no matter how far or how short of a distance i'm always super sweaty! The doc tested for Babs but it was negative. He still thinks...
I'm feeling really sick these days. Tonight i'm having a shaky episode. I feel very disoriented and confused. I hope this is the abx working. I get so scared when this happens....
I like the analogy of the onion! I'm going to start doing the detox baths asap. Just a little side info about the meds i'm on: I'm currently on: Amoxicillin,clarithromycin, amrix, lexapro (very low...
Hi, i'm in San Francisco and I see a very good Lyme specialist. I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post his name on here or not. PM me if you are interested...
Thank you so much for all your support! I'm just going to take it day by day and try to be aware of any improvements and also regression in my health. My fingers are crossed that the oral antibiotics...
Thanks for the replies everyone! All of my blood work was done through Igenix. Yes he did test me for some co-infections but everything came back negative. However, he is convinced that I have...
Hi everyone. I just got my blood results yesterday and they were positive for Lyme. After seeing countless doctors over the past two years I finally have some relief. I've been on abx for about a...
