Hey +Lyme - I have to say that I did have a cytomegalovirus test done and my IGM (active) showed negative but my IGG (titers and some docs believe that high numbers show chronic) showed very high out...
Thanks WWDJ20 and achievinggrace. I was just wondering if this was normal. I'm having a rough day and wanted to find a way to ease my mind and feel confident that this is all just Lyme. I think I'm...
I'm hoping someone can shed some light for me. I am finally having some better days every once in a while but every few days it seems like I have a new symptom kick in really bad for a few days and...
Just wanted to update everyone. I've been going through lymphatic drainage. I actually did a breast session to focus on draining the fluids from there and the therapist taught me to feel the...
I have been having a lot of gas. I've been on an anti candida diet for months prior to starting abx so I don't think it's that (though I'm aware that abx can increase candida). I agree, I think detox...
Carrie48 - I too am downing probiotics. Not sure what else to do besides the lemon water. My GP just gave me prilosec so maybe that will help but I am guessing this is just part of having lyme or...
I use Mill Creek peppermint shampoo and conditioner. It is natural but not all organic. It's sulfate, phosphate, paraban free, etc. It does have a fragrance but peppermint is a natural oil and great...
So I took an epsom salt bath this am afte being in pain and still having swelling in my abdomen. The swelling went down but the pain is still there, better though. I thought that since my llmd is far...
Hey all- I started noticing some heartburn and read that heartburn can be from disruptions in stomach acids due to abx. So I did some research and drank 14oz of h2o with 1 TB of apple cider vinegar....
I'm sorta frustrated. I had a good day, talked to my doc and we were both encouraged that after 1 month on abx, my herxing had calmed and I was able to manage my symptoms each day. I have had quite a...
Hey Waverunner - I too have been diagnosed with both Lyme and mycoplasma. I'm not sure how I got the mycoplasma but my doctor has me on minocycline and said that it will treat both. Minocycline is a...
JR991 - I agree with Mercury. I too experience this and the hot baths wipe me out. I agree with the magnesium stores because as I've added it over time I've felt better. And I don't think I have MS....
Yeah Yogilyme. So great to hear that. It's so great to focus on and appreciate the small victories. If it hasn't happened yet, I hope you soon enjoy some of the little things in life. It's such a fun...
So, as I've shared the news that I have Chronic Lyme most likely from a tick bite when I was 12, I'm asked, after treatment will you be cured? Or can you get rid of Lyme? I don't know if I have a...
Borderylyme - My thyroid has given me problems for 15+ years when I was first diagnosed with FM when I was a teenager. I have been treated for some time with synthroid. After 5 docs tested me for...
So my hair started to fall out in June about the time that my floaters kicked in and I started to get sicker. I then got pregnant, lost the baby and ended up with more hair loss. My GP told me that...
Hey Carrie48 - If you really want to know if you have a yeast problem there are some stool tests that you can do that analyze the yeast in your system. Insurance usually covers a portion of them....
Just wanted to let you all know. My hubby just got back from a docs appr for flu like symptoms. The dic said its a virus and it's going around. In their conversation he did say something that may...
Thanks for the info traveler. I will bring it up with my doc next week. It has gotten better over the past few days but I'm tracking it. As for the flax, I use Bob's red mills ground flax seed mill....
Hey Bucci - Good points. I too barely eat any dairy. Just kefir and some goats milk cheese from time to time. That was the suggestion of my docs but recently the cows milk over the holidays did a...
I am assuming the same thing summer. I read a general detox website yesterday. They basically said that the two main exits during detox are urine and stool. They said that bubbles in urine is due to...
I don't think I am. I will talk to my doc again in 2 weeks. Aside from drinking lots h2o, is there any natural thing to take that you are aware of? Thanks for the response. I've had it once before...
Hi all - the day after starting antibiotics and other supplements, I started to get bubbles in my urine. No pain, burning, frequency or urgency. I know that men can get bubbles from the fact that...
I could be wrong summer3 but I think they are sweetened with agave. My little one ate them when she couldn't do dairy. She loved all of their stuff. But I do think the 1 gram of sugar ones had agave....
I think your diet depends on your doc and where you are in the diet and detox process as well as if you're doing an anti-candida diet or an anti-inflammatory diet. I have been on an anti-candida or...
I had pelvic pressure. After going to a nephrologist and then a urologist to rule everything else out, they said I have weakness in my pelvic floor and sent me to PT for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction....
These are great ideas. TCBY has froyo that is no sugar added. I know that it's over 1/3 less sugar then the regular stuff and packed with extra probees (as my 3 year old says), but not sure what they...
Hi all - So my birthday is coming up and it's been a year since things started to spiral out of control. So I'd like to have an enjoyable time. With my restrictive diet that I've been on for almost a...
Hey all - I thought I'd update everyone too. First of all yogilymie, so happy to hear that all went well. Last night I used some biofreeze on my arm and breast and the pain and lumps went down. So it...
Hi Bustalymes- Thanks for sharing. I've been told that I am estrogen dominant and that due to my lower then normal progesterone, that I needed to start that. My doc told me that your thyroid helps...
And good luck yogilymie. I will be thinking of you this week. I'll update everyone because I always hate it when I'm reading posts and don't know what the outcome was! Fingers crossed its just Lyme....
Thanks all for your comforting advice. To borderlyme, I guess this could be swollen lymph nodes. That probably worries more then anything for fear of lymphatic cancer. My husband is about to bop me...
Thanks so much Travler for your help. I have read the new members section first and am on day two of detox baths. I'm hoping that the baths may help get toxins out of my body. Maybe that will help...
Hi all - I have recently been diagnosed with chronic Lyme from a tick bite over 20 years ago. In the mean time, I had to drop out of college 6 years after the original bite, and after 1 year was...
