Mystery: That sounds like me! I used to be a free spirit too. It is the anxiety. My friend told me to take Xanax but I am so tired of taking drugs that I won't do it. I figure I may come around. If...
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Baby steps is all I can do. I gather Lymes affects EVERYTHING!...
Hi all. I am feeling a lot better physically. I am off all meds. But during my 3 years of feeling crappy, I just wanted to be home in my comfort zone. Right now I am feeling the same way but I think...
You are welcome. Good luck. Feel better....
Hi new member. Sorry you are having problems. www.survivingmold.com is a good site for you to get started on. This doctor really focuses on toxic mold problems. Give it a try....
Thanks Border. That's where I am heading....
Thanks Fran. :)...
I don't have any signs of magnesium deficiency. Maybe because I get it from my food. I think you may have helped me answer my own question. Why take it if it possibly helps with the biofilms?...
OK, what do you all think? Take magnesium even though I have heard it feeds biofilms or not to take it? I have a big bottle on my shelf and I am now afraid to take any. I do eat tons of food with...
I think b/cof NY's resolutions, the site got bombarded. Give it time. I got on because I am already a "member."...
Hi my fellow Lymies. I am on day 9 of 15 of my Rebootyourlife.com detox diet. I feel AMAZING! My symptoms are 70% gone. I truly felt that my ABXs weren't really working after a year and I just have...
Thanks Angel....
Good question. That's what I want to know too....
My doctor in DC told me he looks at the levels as how you are detoxing. Mine came down a bit from my last blood work and he said that was good. Funny, I never read it that way....
Thanks for the article. It explained a lot except for me. LOL. I almost think that Lymes might have triggered something else. I think one of which is my allergies so I am going back to get tested...
No and no. Labcorp did it. Didn't do my C3as....
OK, I didn't know the protocol. Thanks!!!!...
I heard there was a good woman doctor in Easton. Is that the one you go to? If so, private message me if you can. Thanks....
Yazzer...I was really negative on that eye test. My mom lives in Cambridge so he is close to me too but I go to the movie star in DC instead. Thinking I need a change....
I read about this from Dr. SHoemaker's site. I took some kind of test he does on his site and I tested negative. I am starting a major 15 day detox diet. Nothing but fruits and veggies to see how I...
I got my C4a levels drawn and they were low...609. Has anybody studied what these numbers actually mean? Thanks a lot. Happy and healthy 2012 you all....
Sickman: thank you so much for the post. I never thought about this. I remember years ago being on an anti yeast diet. It was the best I ever felt. I will look into this. Thanks a lot. Happy and...
:) :) :)...
I know that's why I am on that drug. I have been treated for 6 months for Babesia. Honestly, I don't think I have Babesia. Plus all the mega doses of anti malaria drugs did nothing for me. It's...
I, too, have vertigo. It's my major symptom of Lymes. I just went to an ENT yesterday because I was hoping it was BPPV. She said no. I am going back to do a balance test. (I'd fail!) She said I could...
You can never confuse me. I love lots of info. Especially since I got Lymes. No, I do not know how to search. I will try to figure it out right now. Thanks. Merry Merry!...
And I have plenty of mercury. Maybe I should test for toxins in my blood before I refill all of my teeth, huh?...
I just got a new crown. No root canals. I am going to my dentist in February so this is all a good point. I think my right side is the side that gives me the dizziness. I would have never thought...
It has been stepped up. I am taking: Cipro, Rifabutim, Pyrimethamine (for babesia that I think I do not have. I was on mega doses of Mepron a couple of months ago. No change.), Omnicef, Flagyl. No...
I got dxed with Lymes in 2009. My main symptom was dizziness and being off balanced. I have been on ABX since then and I feel like I am plateauing. One year on meds and I don't feel any differently....
How do you know if your house is moldy? Just buy a test at Home Depot kinda thing? I am filling out all the paperwork for Shoemaker but feel like I don't know why I am doing it. I guess we get...
Borderlyme...thank you. Now I understand. Have you read about Dr. Shoemaker? He does the cholestyramine....
Hey Mystery: Thanks for your post. I did gluten free and it made no difference. My protocol for the past 6 months has made no difference either. Arghhhhh. Maybe an island on the beach may help? :)...
a year now b/c I may have a mold issue? When I got allergy shots awhile back, mold was my top allergy. Does this have anything to do with that? Thanks all. ...
Thanks Traveler. I will. And I will post how I feel at the end of it....
Traveler....well said and very informative. Thank you for the information and the post. I am going to do a juice diet for 15 days on Dec 26th. This is where I fall into my two week freedom from meds....
Thia...I have only herxed two times in the 2 1/2 years I have been on meds. My doc said it doesn't matter if you do or not. The problem with this stupid disease is answers to questions are all over...
Thanks all. You convinced me. Off to Whole Foods to get my magnesium. Maybe that's why my legs feel like they weigh a ton a piece....
Yes, I do drink a glass or two of wine almost every day. And I am on Flagyl too. I clearly have a good system. I want to be as normal as I can possibly be with having this diagnosis. I haul my butt...
the biofilms. I am glad some others on this post agree. I did take it and didn't feel any better. In a month (after the holidays) I am going to do a total detox diet. I saw the film Fat, Sick and...
Anybody know of one or even one in Northern VA. Thanks....
Thanks everybody!...
I am stepping up to the plate. My LLD has me taking 8 pills of Malarone on my treatment days. MWF. I am a bit nervous with that amount. I start this Monday. Any suggestions out there? Thanks....
Great info. Thanks everybody. My LLD gave me a prescription for a malaria drug. 8 pills a day. My pharmacist refuses to fill it. So I left a message with my LLD and he has not returned my call. I...
Good point Lymester. I probably do have it. ARGH!!!!...
Hi Lymester. I tested negative for Babesia. I have been on ABX for 2 1/2 years and my symptoms are much better. I have neuropathy and still off balanced. I feel like I am at a lull though. I am just...
My LLD thinks everybody has babesia as a co-infection and wants to start me on malaria drugs. Both of the drugs he recommended were not cheap and some of the side effects aren't too thrilling to me....
I didn't say names so does it matter? And is it a crime to leave the CAP lock button on? My intention was not to shout....
YES. I LIVE IN THE DC AREA. E MAIL ME AT SASSY1014@ AOL.com...
2 YEARS DX, MANY ABX....
