My doctor said that if we kill to many bacteria at once my body could see those toxins as a threat and I could get a reaction resembling the anaphylactic shock. He said that I must be careful when...
Thanks Summer. I don't think we have Igenex in my country... I have been diagnosed with lyme after a blood analysis at the dark field microscopy. Didn't have the money then to do a WB and the doctor...
Today I spoke on the phone with my doctor and he said that after I finish my abx treatment I have to wait two weeks and then do a WB and a PCR. I am worried that the WB might come back as a false...
Thanks for your answer summer3. I'm not very glad that I have to give up abx for 2 weeks in order to take the test. I guess I am worried that 'the bugs' might start replicating once I take such a...
So, when is the best moment to take a western blot test? In am in my second round treatment with antibiotics, my doctor said at the previous visit that I will have to take such a test, but he did not...
I feel this too. It's like a pressure behind my eyes , somewhere in the center of the brain and on the forehead. I only get this when I am herxing. For me, the pressure thing is a predictable sign...
wow, this is such a relief to find out that a herx can last more than a few hours in others too. I thought I had a problem with detoxing or something. SleeplessNJ, I used to get panick attacks a lot...
I was curious, how long can a herx reaction last? Sometimes I get them coming in waves, lasting for 1-2-3 hours, other times they might even last for half a day (especially if they come with panic...
I would be tempted to say that your immune system might not be working properly. But I can't say this for sure, as I don't know if you have taken any antibiotics for Lyme two months ago. Antibiotics...
Thanks all. I take vit C daily but not in such a high dosage. Maybe I will give it a try....
I am taking natural remedies right now as my LLMD said I should take them for two weeks before starting the next round of antibiotics. I have spoken with other patients too and they confirmed that...
Today I went to a neurologist in the hope he will test my optic nerves with something called "electric potentials evoker". Instead of getting that I got the next message: Oh, you have taken 10 weeks...
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to place this here, but I was wondering if any of you know something about the dosage of vitamin C they recommend here...and about the salt they also mention here....
The doctor who is treating me works in a medical center that has a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. After finishing my first round of multiple antibiotics I asked him if I could take a few sessions of...
I will keep searching the forums, maybe I will find a case where the entire family followed a treatment even though only one of the members had symptoms. If I find anything I will post it here. Maybe...
It's quite good to read here that some other people were on xanax for quite some time and did not develop any addiction to this drug. I will use xanax if I feel very bad. When I get anxiety or even...
I am afraid to keep on taking Xanax because in time I heard that your body gets used to it and you will need to increase the dosage to obtain the same effect. I try to keep xanax for my worse days,...
But how can you know if you have symptoms from lyme or from insanity? What if I keep on putting myself through hell with these antibiotics and after another 10 weeks of treatment there is still no...
So, I felt very bad during the multiple abx treatment. I am very curious if healthy people that are given the same abx in the same dosage wouldn't react just the same as us, the unhealthy ones. The...
Had the same problems with the eyes...still having them actually :) during my first abx course everything got worse and I thought I will go blind gradually. Thanks to all the replies I got here I...
A while ago I called my eye doc and informed him I was diagnosed with Lyme and he just said: " Oh, God, why didn't we think about that, as this now makes sense why I keep on changing glasses"... A...
I was not a vegetarian before starting the treatment... Traveler, I guess you are right, big changes in my diet, taken all at once + the abx might have have a strong impact on by body. My doctor was...
I used to have great vision too until 2 years ago when all started to fade away... Even though I have a 100% accurate diagnostic of Lyme, sometimes I pray that I do not have some other illness, that...
yeah, my doc just said I should go on a vegetarian diet, drink 4-5 liters of mixed herbal tea and lemon juice and wrote me a long prescription of drugs (some made of herbals, 2 abx, 1 drug against...
Besides borrelia I was also found with babesia and haemoplasma. Don't remember my doc saying anything about Bartonella. I know for sure now that when I lay in bed and drink plenty of water + lemon I...
Before I found out that I have Lyme I went to a lot of ophtalmologists and they all said I had astigmatism and that all they can do about that is change prescriptions for eyeglasses. Then I got on...
Haven't tried this one yet...will ask my doc about it...I have 8 more days till my abx break...still scared that I will feel bad and that my eye damage will be permanent and unstoppable :(...
Has any of you diagnosed with neuroborreliosis experience during the treatment with antibiotics any worsening of the eye vision? I understand that during the treatment the symptoms can get worse, but...
Thanks Yazzer for your quick reply, it already makes me feel better. The thing is that during these 10 weeks of abx I have been herxing a lot, every day and especially in the mornings I would get...
I have been taking abx for 10 weeks now (my first round of many more to come ) and my doc said i am supposed to take a 2 weeks break and then start again with a different combination of abx for...
