Ok thanks everyone.. So I'm still getting the impression that it is not necessary to remove yeast from the diet.. Sugar I know and I definitely have reactions when I eat sugar.....
Ok I have been trying to get an answer to this for a while. What is the reasoning behind no yeast in our diet? The only real info I can find is that it could increase the risk of a yeast overgrowth....
Thanks everyone.....
Help please anybody?...
I took tramadol for a long time, probably for two years. It is a mild synthetic opiate. It definitely helped me get through some of the worst of it....
Mepron never affected me that way in fact it was one of the medicines that I definitely saw improvement from using it....

mercuryb, I really know very little about it myself.. I had heard people talk about brain lesions many times but never connected that to my white spots.. No one even ever suggested lyme to me if they...
I went through a period which I really thought I would lose it.. I was totally exausted but as soon as I layed down my body would go into overdrive.. I would try to stay in bed but it was pointless.....
I heard a Dr speak on lyme disease recently and he mentioned that white spots on a brain scan can be from Lyme disease or Ms.. Well months before I was diagnosed my scan showed white spots, they said...
Permethrin also repels mosquitos, spray a hat down with it and it will keep them away from your head. We vacationed on Assateague Island which has horrible mosquitos, spraying my hat down helped a...
Maybe no one knows but what I am wondering, is the acne from the treatment or is it a symptom? I was also treated for babesios so it could relate to that also....
Ok a few things you can do, wear long pants and tuck them into your socks.. Also a long sleeve shirt is best but I see them pretty fast on my arms and usually they go for the legs anyways. Also wear...
I have developed worse acne then I had when I was a teenager.. I am too old for it to be normal.. So does anyone else have this problem? Is it a symptom of lyme or is it the toxins leaving my body??...

I was taking another supplement that had folate in it but I haven't taken it in about 3 months and don't really see a difference....
Have you been tested/screened for co-infections? When I started treatment for babesios is when I started seeing improvement. Especially with the headaches. Mine were unbearable......
Yes the mepron was for babesia. I was taking it 2 teaspoons daily and 3 weeks on and 1 week off. I was taking Doxy 2x daily 400 mg total. However I started getting sick from taking both and in the...
Most of the crap out there says the tick has to be attached for at least 24 hours. I know that it takes less then 24 hours because I developed a bullseye rash from a tick that had only been atatched...
I wanted to post an update.. I am feeling much better than I was 3 months ago. I saw my doc today and he says all my labs are good. My body temp has come back up, thank God because I was tired of...
Mine has been going on for several years and usually goes hand in hand with my headaches but not always. For me its not just volume its also pitch.. I have two small children and when they baby talk...
If there are that many in your yard I bet the pets are bringing them inside often.. As lymie angel said I would have your yard treated.. I have started spraying all my outdoor clothes with...

I am being treated for both and have had some of the same questions.. I never had a high fever but I did have really bad night sweats. So bad in fact that I lost about 20lbs in two weeks... I do not...

Flowergal, we have the same Dr. I am surprised because for me he is the most encouraging and open Dr I have ever met.. I found him through a friend who was treated by him successfully for lyme...
Yes this is a common ailment.. I went through the same broken thermoter routine.. Now I wish my temp was 97! I am usually in the 96.4 range and sometimes in the 95's.. I am cold all the time unless I...
Flowergal what city is your Dr Doom located? I'm very curious if were seeing the same Dr....
The bags of epsom salts at the dollar store I saw were small and not a good bargain.. Walmart, bigger bag.....
Something in your description and location makes me think we have the same Dr. However I would not describe him as doom and gloom.. Let me know if you would like to compare notes....
I am researching other tick bourne illnesses because many of my symptoms don't line up with just lyme disease. My Dr has also made a clinical diagnosis of Babesia but even that doesn't explain it...
My wife was bit about 6 months ago.. She had no rash and was tested shortly after.. Test was negative.. A couple months ago she had heart palpitations and now she has joint pain and fatigue all the...
Lyme disease is getting lots of press but there are many other infections that you can contract from a tick bite... I also know that the 24 hour thing is a myth.. I was bitten by a tick and the next...

In doing some searching I came across this tick borne disease.. I was amazed that I had never heard of it and I have seen no posts on this board reguarding it. So anybody been diagnosed with it...
I'm not sure if the Doxy has much to do with the headaches.. I have been in your shoes for about 4 years now.. They were treating me for cluster headaches long before I was diagnosed.. When I was on...
I am taking Methylcobalamin also and I cant answer why but it definitely helps.. The other day I forgot to take it and by the end of the day I was having some of the worst symptoms I've had in a long...
Before I was diagnosed I thought I had Ankylosing spondylitis.. The reason being the pain was so bad and my back was degenerating quickly.. I have no facts for you but I know this lyme attacks weak...
PS do you not have nursing care? Mine came out weekly and checked things out. Also are you flushing your line before and after meds? Taking a blood thinner?...
I had a picc line and never had pain.. Don't mess around an infection could go straight to your heart which would be much worse then the pain! It should not hurt coming out unless you are infected....
It just hit me I was having this a lot before I was diagnosed.. Hard to admit for a big tough guy! I was feeling very alone every time I was by myself.. Its nice to have some answers for all the...
Traveler, I plan on talking to him during my next appointment, in the mean time I wanted to know the experiences of others.. Just because someone has the title Md or even LLMD doesn't mean I'm going...
achievinggrace said... When my LLMD was treating me for Babesia I was on Mepron by itself. He went after the Lyme after the Babesia was under control. Each doctor's approach is different. I think you...
And update: My wife has an appointment with my LLMD at the end of the month.. Her 1st test was an elisa.. I am pushing for Igenix testing. Is there anything I need to know? Any specific tests to ask...
