I'm usually in the 96-98 range.....
Desperate -- he said it was due to Lyme. Gave me a steroid which I didn't realize at the time was bad..but it did clear it up and dull the pain but it kept coming back for years..then stoppers. I...
Yep--I own and use a paderno spiraler. It's on sale on Amazon right now for a steal. You can make zucchini noodles my favorite in a matter of seconds. My blog is PaleoLymeGal on Facebook and it's...
I'll second the GMO free organic corn if you use it. I've cut out most grains from my diet with occasional organic corn consumption. I'm gluten, sugar, grain and processed food free as well as...
I believe I was infected as a child. I was sickly..my mom took me to doctors because my legs hurt me, I was lethargic and always catching illness. I had ADD too. I owned and rode horses. In fact, my...
When this all started for me I had painful, raised cysts in the corneas of both of my eyes. My vision was blurred. To this day I get eye problems on and off with a stigmatism and blurry vision. Then...
My hands are partially paralyzed from Lyme. Frustrates the hell outta me...
When I herx my neck gets intense with pain...everything aches more, I feel more fluish and miserable. Migraines...but the neck in is insane for me...
I saw dr s. I couldn't stand him and after 6 months of zero talking and explaining and becoming allergic to everything he prescribed I quit going. He is the worst dr I've ever seen. I'm seeking...
Since we're adding here......I'd like to add www.againstallgrain.com she is amazing! Her cookbook is all gluten, dairy, refined sugar and grain free..though I do eat dairy. And it's Paleo friendly!...
I too have these thoughts. But after watching the documentary, that is my life! I don't think it's bad to seek alternative drs to rule out other conditions...
Ive likely been infected since a child. Saw an LLMD out here on the east coast. Bad fit. I'm praying the next will work out so I don't spend our entire savings on dr J who I'm sure if fantastic but...
Prayers! I'm going on my second one. Praying the next one will heal me....
Bartonella from what I hear. I have Bart but didn't get that rash like many do...
Wow you have given me hope when I felt there may be none. May I ask how much the hansa center set you back financially? Feel free to email me. I've been wishing I could afford it but am petty sure I...
Good thread! Mine is: 1- Move to Hawaii 2- Baby..gosh I'd love this, but I'm 32 and don't see it happening. Breaks my heart everyday. 3-go back to school and do something with my life that I am...
Exactly traveler! I don't want to make it sound like I need someone who is my friend..I just need a doctor who will explain things a little and have SOME INTERACTION with me while under their care....
I needed to read this. I've been fooling myself thinking with diet and probiodics I could heal myself . Not happening...
Afyia--I too had candida. His anti candida list is a joke btw. He offered me zero advice on natural alternatives. I did pretty much cure my candida using these guide lines: NO sugar or fake sugars...
Yes a thousand times! My condition goes from bad to unbearable in the winter and cold. I do great in low humidity heat. Hawaii is my favorite place on earth. I'm trying to find a way to move there....
Thanks y'all!! The Top 10 worst symptoms for me are: 1- Fatigue. Just can't seem to have the energy to do much. I like the spoon theory and I have very limited spoons. 2- Pain- all over. My legs,...
LOL..can we say the name? It's Dr S in Howell NJ. He has ZERO bedside manners. I used to have to write a list of questions and would get yes no answers only. Fact is, I'm far too sick to not have at...
Not sure if any of you will remember me. I tested CDC positive about 7 years ago. I was told 28 days of doxy would cure me. When it didn't, I was just stuck with fibromyalgia. Nobody would listen to...
Phew take a deep breath. Much of your story sounds like mine. I also have anxiety in the family, but suffer to an extreme. I blame it not only on my family background, but also due to the disease. I...
So I had started Bactrim about 3-4 months ago prescribed by my LLMD. I was taking 2 x per day and experienced a horrific herx that scared me so much I backed down to 1 x per day, plus supplements...
I have it as we speak and have had it random times in the past few years. Today it is so excruciating it feels like a REALLY bad sunburn, but my muscles and joints throb and ache under the burn too....
I'm there with you. ..HATE being in pain, hate having to work full time to make ends meat, hate having to do everything all the time, Hate watching everyone around me have it all, but not me, Hate it...
I'm seeing the same LLMD as Acheiving.........I'm not 100% happy with him (he doesn't spend more than 5 minutes with me, just writes a rx and goes) and I would love to switch to springsjean LLMD who...
I want a real life too! I'm so sick of this. I can't say I want my life back because I've been sick for so long I don't remember being normal, but I do remember not being this bad off and I wish I...
I started working with an NP from here and I am SO glad I have started. /community/emoticons/tongue.gif As some of you know I had an awful herx reaction on Monday night. It was seriously awful, one...
Hi! The magnesium is the ONLY thing that has chilled out my intense and scary chest/heart pains. I take 625-800 mg per day. I was taking 800 (4 pills) but switched to a different brand and it was 6...
Nocure--Not something I can really do in my line of work. I am a "personal assistant/nanny" I work for her part of the day and then with her children as well for part of the day. My responsibilities...
Hi everybody, the past few days have been very daunting to say the least. I have had stress at work. My boss verbally ripped me apart this week and has been very insulting and cruel to me. I know I...
When you're in enough pain, you'll do anything. I did. I was VERY addicted to sugar. I ate it all day..and carbs. Now I for many months I've been really good. It does help and just think, everytime...
Sugar will do it. Gotta stay away from the stuff. It's toxic. Yep, I can smell things NOBODY can smell and everyone thinks im nuts LOL...
You've got to give up the sugar, starches, processed foods for sure. NO sugar, honey, anything sweet, even fruits are kept to a minimum and only low sugar ones like berries and a granny smith apple...
I get horrible chest pains when I lie down..but now that I am taking 800 mg of magnesium it has greatly helped those pains..UNLESS I eat something with lemons..then my GERD takes over and I'm in...
I was on doxy last month. Difficult on the stomach..got switched to Bactrim, also not an easy drug. We are toxic..die off makes it even worse. Make sure you detox if needed. (dry skin brush, epsom...
Prayers to Caity! I am so sorry. I hope she gets answers soon. Have you tried calling Dr J? I think I remember you're seeing him....
peacesoul..big hugs. In the little time I've worked with you thus far, I've already noticed some changes in the positive way. Amazing in only a few weeks! I can't wait to see what happens in the...
Hi! I never had the bullseye rash (that I am aware of), but I did test positive for Lyme several years ago. I have had symptoms of Lyme since at least 10 years old, but things went out of control...
that's such crap..I'm so paranoid lately. Thank goodness you're on meds already. Does that guarantee it's ok? I'd ask my LLMD in case....
Sometimes I think you've GOT to push through it..but sometimes it's beneficial NOT to. It depends..as for emotional, try not to push yourself on that one. I can recover faster from the physical than...
I work with an LLMD (who I'm not crazy about to be honest) and a NP who I AM crazy about (peacesoul from this forum) She has given me more of her time than my LLMD who spends 5 min with me after...
I am VERY OCD! I had been obsessing about going to the city for weeks. I knew I wasn't well enough to do it, but I wanted to get it out of my system. We went, did too much..my feet are swollen, my...
random, I'm so sorry to hear that :(...
spring, you said everything I would have said ;-)...
I too have probably had this my whole life (or at least since 10 years old..I'm 30) and things got worse..much worse. RUN to the LLMD, get treatment !! Seriously, things get worse. Much worse. If I...
How dare these doctors!! One day soon they are going to be the ones affected and we can sit and call them hypochondriacs. Shameful! It really hits home with me. I will NOT have ANYONE tell me I'm...
I wrote to DR Phil. I told him how bad it was and how he was well respected and known and could raise awareness for those of us suffering. Maybe we can get him to do more Lyme episodes!!...
