Sorry, don't know if it's ok to take oregano oil at the same time as abx. it acts as an abx, that much I know. Perhaps open a new topic with that questions and see if you get some answers. No...
I don't know if I had a real yeast problem or not, it was based on how the tongue looked only, not tested. (am talking systemic yeast here, not vaginal). 1x 200mg diflucan is not a big dose, and is...
Hi Penny, There is no easy short answer. When I first took the fluconazole, my heart calmed down and I felt much better for about a week. Then the very high dose of flluconazole started to get to me,...
Thank you, I hope there's an approach that will work for me, because I feel so awfully discouraged right now. Am glad to hear I am not the only who has to take a break from the abx. Everyone seems to...
Possible hairloss reasons : thyroid, other hormones, meds (like Diflucan, I lost a lot on Diflucan, it also dries out your scalp, skin, lips something terrible), low ferritin levels, systemic...
Yup. Racing heart about 7 hours after taking the abx, so about when abx reaches peak blood serum level. Lasts for 2-3 hours. LLMD has now pulled me from the abx, clarithro. I tried "pushing through"...
Thanks Traveler, my LLMD does holistic as well. (I'm lucky, because I am already having to go to another country to find a doc who is an LLMD, it's really slim pickings around here, I'd have no hope...
Thanks! I used to take clarithro all the time, no pulsing, with plaquenil. So unfortunately, the clarithro isn't new, and the pulsing clarithro/flagl/ riamet was a way to see if I could stand it. I...
What happens to ticks if you don't spot them and remove them? They sit and feed on your blood until they are "full" and then they drop off by themselves. Yuck, I know. My husband removed my tick, it...
I was supposed to be pulsing clarithro/flagyl/riamet. My heart wigged out badly (again), and on my LLMDs instructions when he prescribed the pulsing, I stopped all meds. He is away this week, but for...
Ok, thanks, so it's not a "wave a wooden stake and garlic at it" kind of thing then, so if the dermatologist suggests it, it could be an option. Not sure how long term or short term it would be, but...
Thanks Razzle, unfortunately, the issue is suspected to be severe allergic dermatitis in a sensitive area. Ointments are a no-no, and are actually part of the original past cause of the problem, so...
I had rapid & pounding heart on Biaxin. In retrospect, it was possibly caused by systemic candida (that was aggravated by taking antibiotics). I had also had a severe iron deficiency. Whenever I had...
Any thoughts about taking oral-antihistamines? As in, does it suppress the immune system and is therefore bad for Lyme? Am pulsing clarithro, flagyl and riamet, so there's a concern with drug...
I am about to start pulsing - 5 days clarithromycin 2x 500mmg 1 day flagyl 500mg 6 days clarithro 2x 3 days of Riamet I've been very sensitive to meds in the past and would like to build. I've broken...
I think I started herxing two days ago, sore throat, tired, blurry thinking, headache. Last night the headache got worse & worse, focussed in the center of my forehead, really sharp and I started to...
The pain is not so bad, it's more this horrible of feeling of disaster and "I can't do this anymore" accompanied by a horrible tiredness. I started to feel headachey and tired yesterday, a sore...
I've never had one shorter than half a day, the longest being 5 days....
I have had it in relation to certain meds, like plaquenil. Do NOT wait 12 days, that really isn't good for you. If you are on abx, you should be taking probiotics all the time, regardless if you are...
What do you do on the days when you feel like doing what sheep do when they are sick, just lie down and not get up again? What do you do to make yourself feel better and want to get up again? (and...
Normal is good, it's great!! :turn:...
Oh, and Norsk Hiker, how much Diflucan and how often do you have to take it? I'm very sensitive to meds, I more or less get side effects and herxes just from looking at the box ;). I have the dubious...
I've seen it mentioned on other boards and in Lyme-patient discussions. (which isn't "scientific" of course, but it means there are other LLMDs out there with the same belief) I've seen mention of a...
I had elevated heart rate for about 10 months. At first, it was attributed to a severe iron deficiency. After that was fixed, my heart-rate improved, but was still too rapid. I started on ABX for the...
Diflucan has been wonderful for me. I was on clarithromycin & plaquenil and felt awful, kept having heart issues, then nightmares, mystery bruising. Long story short, yeast on my tongue, LLMD said...
Interesting to use ticks on dogs as a way of seeing how much of them there are... ... But the article doesn't even mention the most simple solution - treat your dog against ticks? There are...
After waiting for almost an hour to get in, I was so tired and flustered once I was in there that now I can't remember if she took some swabs or not. You know, you are lying on the table and you...
Ok, went to see my gyno today. I'd call it a small disaster. I did not expect her to know much about Lyme, but still told her I had Lyme and what meds I've been on and am on, since I thought it could...
Well, PH strips arrived. They only measure normal to alkaline PH 4-7. There was no color change at all, so I assume things are acidic, I just don't know by how much. So despite me being on...
The tablets are compounded. The LLMD uses a pharmacy that prepares the more "unusual" medications he prescribes and they ship it to the patients, so I have little control of it. (he's in one country,...
@Bucci - our posts 'crossed" each other, I didn't see it till now. The Diflucan is for systemic candida. I was on abx, and kept having odd heart issues, rapid heart, culminating in screaming...
It's crossed my mind Traveler, my LLMD does holistic as well. But, since I was only tick-bitten in August, so I am at tick-bite +5 months, and I actually still have the mark from the tick-bite, and I...
Thanks for the article Traveler, I've been reading up like a demon, but the article you found has the three types of non-yeast infections summed up. I will print it out and wave it at the gyno...
Hi, Just started LDN two nights ago. Doc has prescribed 3x 1.5mg tablets, but since I tend to be "Miss Sensitive" and get reactions from just looking at the medications, let alone taking them, I...
I have an appointment with the gyno on Friday, so 5 more days of suffering :(. The house doctor can see me sooner, but I think this is not a "standard" vaginal problem, so not sure what she can do to...
I had reactions to the medications and bad herxes that led to heart issues. My doc had me stop the meds for 4 days or so every now and then, and then press on. Now he has me on a lower dose, yes, for...
My concern was that it was yeast despite being on fluconazole, the LLMD seemed to think it was more likely bacterial. Apparantly, these probiotic suppositories are supposed to help for both. Even...
I live in Europe, I'll have to wait till Monday, call the gyno, see if I can get a short-notice appointment. But I guess the general opinion is to go to a gyno with this and not the LLMD? I'm worried...
I am on Fluconazole and nothing else right now as invasive Candida is suspected (and my heart feels much calmer, so where there is smoke...). Anyway, so despite being on an anti-fungal, I develop a...
I'm terrible at sitting still, esp when there is stuff that needs doing, housecleaning, grocery shopping, you know... The hardest is the not being able to get out of the house, and spending so much...
Yes, magnesium, no coffee, no chocolate and taking probiotics. Drinking Green Water to detox. Chlorocaps. LLMD told me to stay away from detox baths because of the heart, but I tried them anyway (not...
Well, did the big trek to the LLMD and back yesterday. I think it did my husband good to vent some frustrations and hear that it was a bad herx, that there is most likely nothing wrong with my heart...
Melatonin can contribute to vivid dreams... Nightmares are creepy and yucky....
I got some sleep, thanks to the ambien, then spent three hours lying awake feeling my ribs vibrate... The LLMD wants me to come in tomorrow. I had an appointment for next week already, but he doesn't...
It's going to have be an ambien and hope it does not re-occur during the night. It's 11pm now where I am, and my only option would be the ER... My LLMD is 2 hours away in another country... he's on...
Am on day 11 of 2x 200mg Fluconazole. (Diflucan) Prior to the Fluconzole I had rapid heart-rate issues, but it was always even. On day 2 of the Fluco, my heart rate slowed down and I've been feeling...
For completeness, in case anyone later does a search for Fluconazole or rapid heartrate and wonders what happened.... I've been on the Fluconazole now for a week and my heart is much calmer. I still...
When I first found my LLMD, he did consider babesia as a possibility (because I'd recently been iron deficient). However, it would have to mean that I'd been infected by babesia before I was bitten...
A bloodtest after I was bitten by the tick revealed that I was severely iron deficient. Looking back, I am sure I was iron-deficient at least 3 months prior to the bite, if not more. A gastro-doc...
Did wake up to some vibrating, but I managed to shorten how long it lasted by lying a bit raised on my back and pressing a few accupressure points by my collar bone. Notice that from my sternum down...
