Beachlover, I live just outside of Memphis, and I just emailed info to you regarding my LLMD. Best Wishes!...
James, Just wanted to add that you may need to have your B12 checked and supplemented as needed....
I would ask if it's dangerous to have a bad herx....which is what I forgot to ask my LLMD on my last visit!...
To feel better...and definitely lose weight! I would love to be able to exercise again....soon. Yazzer, I understand about the painting. I get asked to do things all the time and in my mind I can do...
Hi James, I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time right now. I use ginger tea for my muscle, joint pain and inflammation. I place 1/4 tsp. ground ginger in a tea cup with a squeeze of lemon...
teeners, Why don't you give your pharmacist a call? I think the pharmacist should be able to tell you whether to toss it, or if it's just not as potent, but still safe to use. Good Luck!!!...
I recently experienced a bad herx and I've only been on Doxycycline 100mg twice a day. I too have experienced vertigo off and on before any Lyme treatment. Ugh....not fun!!!...
Thanks folks...great advice from everyone!!! My LLMD spent a lot of time with me today. He added 2 more antibiotics( Flagyl, Omnicef) to the mix, along with some more supplements and herbals. But...
Thanks everyone for the timely responses!!! I think I'm going to use a combination of both and at some point hopefully be able to just use herbals and supplements. Since I was infected 38 years...
I will be seeing my LLMD again tomorrow and we will add either another antibiotic or some herbals. He is fine with whichever I decide upon. That's the problem....I'm still not sure which road to...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has ever had episodes of Costochondritis? I get it in the left chest with pain radiating through to my back, and the first time I had it about 10 years ago I was...
Hey Bobrm2, I saw your post a couple of days ago and wanted to wait on my diagnosis to respond about Lyme ticks in Arkansas. I was biten by a tick 38 years ago while living in Arkansas, which left a...
Wow...you all could write a dissertation on Lyme Disease! I appreciate the insight regarding this very complicated disease. Razzle, thanks for the links on Methylation and Genomics. Good read!!!...
Lymester, Oral B12 is a good choice if you make enough intrinsic factor in your gut, but for those that don't, injectable or sublingual would be the desired routes. Thanks for the link!...
I was given Cyanocobalamin and actually witnessed my injection having been drawn up from that vial. I'm going to look into "Genomic Variants" and "methylation". Is a "healing crisis" the same as a...
Hi everyone! I'm just curious to find out if anyone has ever had a reaction from receiving a B12 injection. I was given an injection about 6 weeks ago and 12 hours later I ended up in the ER with a...
