I would like to have my home tested to see if it is the problem of my and my family's symptoms. Does anyone know where to start? What type of person do I call? Is it possible to clean up the mold in...
I suspect mold in my house, but haven't figured out how to test it. I'm currently being treated for Lyme, but I question the mold too. My whole family has weird symptoms, so I really need to get it...
Ok, I will have to check. The bottle I bought was 300 mg, and said 1 pill 3 times a day....
I am glad they are good away from home, but this weekend I got to hear my mother in law's oh so "helpful" comments to my 3 year old, "now don't start throwing a fit now, you were just perfect for me...
Diet: I understand what is healthy, and could teach that class. I'm just completely controlled by emotions right now. I even joined an "Overeaters Anonymous" class to try to help. I have however gone...
I work with children too. Seem to have patience with them, but not my own at all. I really don't want to tell my kids I'm sick. I tell them I don't feel good at times, but not sure about the other....
I did a search for natural antidepressants, and saw St. John't wort. Can you tell me how you took it? How much, how often, etc. I'm not open and honest with anyone. I guess it's easier here since I...
Not to mention I am about 100 lbs overweight, and have no clothes that fit anymore. I desperately want to quit my job so that what little energy I do have could be used to better myself and my kids....
I don't even know what to say. I am a mess! Mood swings/rage so bad, I shouldn't be around my kids right now. I have NO patience with things that are just typical kid stuff. I hate myself, my life,...
Over the past 8 years, I've tried several antidepressants. While Dr's wouldn't test me for anything, they did give me meds. Finally I found out 2 years ago I have hashimotos. The antidepressants, for...
Wow, so I posted this question, then completely forgot about it, and never came back to look. Thanks for the information. Ugh, I wish it was more conclusive. It's funny how almost everyone in the...
I will be looking into how to avoid ticks for sure! We are also on the feingold program due to my oldest having aspergers, and some major adhd symptoms with my youngest. This programs removes all...
Today was my 9 year olds birthday party at an outdoor laser tag place. It was amazing, and they had so much fun. But, ticks, ticks, everywhere! Someone took 2 crawling ticks off my 3 year old. Then...
Just curious, what did you end up in the ER for?...
Western BLot Test results: IGG Results 34 - IND 41 - ++ 58 - + all others negative IGM Results 41 - IND all others negative Would love to hear anyone's input about these specific strands....
I just posted a new topic "can we prove lyme", because I'm dealing with the same question. My test was negative, but my llmd "diagnosed" me anyway and started me on doxy. After a few weeks (no good...
Are there any tests (or other ways) to actually be certain I do or do not have Lyme? I've posted on here before about how my llmd diagnosed me with Lyme in March. I've gone back and forth as to...
I have a huge appetite, wishing mine would go down as I NEED to loose weight....
achievinggrace: You are right. I'm looking at all of it, and it's all overwhelming. I had started doxy after seeing the LLMD (on it for about 3 weeks), didn't notice anything better or worse, except...
I have had several tick bites over time, I do not remember having a rash. I don't know if the timing of any of the tick bites lined up with feeling different, or the start of some of the symptoms....
Wow, thank you all for being so understanding! I do have hashimoto's and many of the symptoms are the same. Test results: IGG Results 34 - IND 41 - ++ 58 - + all others negative IGM Results 41 - IND...
I was diagnosed by an LLMD about 6 weeks ago, but I'm just not sure how I feel about it. It was negative according to cdc, and I understand that everyone says the tests are unreliable. If I thought...
Well, I decided to try taking Doxy first thing this morning on an empty stomach, but it didn't work so well. I only lasted about 10 minutes before I was throwing it up. I guess I will have to take it...
How exactly do you "stay out of the sun"? I've never wanted to be out in the sun much, but twice in one week I've been out for a little and had bad sunburns and other weird reactions. I'm not sure...
I am missing so many doses of medicine because I cannot figure out when to take what, and what I can take together, etc etc etc. Here is a list of what I am taking daily: Cymbalta-depression Armour...
Thanks for the info, and that's what I was afraid of. My face is so red, it's embarassing! My hands and arms are still tingling at times, especially when I wash my hands, they get a really...
I went to an Easter Egg Hunt with my kids today and had a weird reaction in the sun. I've never experienced this before. At first I thought it was misting outside, because I was feeling a slight...
I have heard that too, that everyone has a small amount. I've always questioned myself, wondering if I'm just trying to excuse my laziness. And if all the aches and pains are just because I don't...
So I was diagnosed a week ago, starting abx tomorrow, and have had a ton of thoughts going through my head in the past week. I've already questioned on here if I should have my whole family tested...
Thank you! I really need to keep a food diary, and I would like to have allergy testing at some point. I'm not very good at journaling, planning ahead, or really anything structured, so I keep...
Before testing for Lyme, my LLMD said that my symptoms sounded like mold or lyme (meaning the mold symptoms alone could cause all of these issues). My Western Blot came bake with a few positive...
I met with an LLMD for the first time last month. He prescribed nystatin to help with gut/yeast/however you describe it. Does anyone else take this? How do you know if it's working? I think I'm just...
Why can't we just get better? I know the scientific reasons, I'm just whining or dreaming! I go into homes and do therapy with children on the Autism spectrum. I do 2 hours with one child, drive to...
Hi Shinji, I should be starting mine this week too. My Dr's office mails out the prescriptions (like in the dark ages), so I have to wait to get them in the mail, then go get them filled....
I agree. I think the diet is sooo important to feeling better and getting better. My problem is the emotional/phychological part of all of this. I feel so depressed and blah most of the time that "I...
SleeplessNJ: What do you mean Change my diet? What's wrong with my Reeses Sonic Blast's, Chicken Fried Rice, crab rangoons, fast food........? So I'm home sick today, and decided to watch the movie...
Got a call this morning from my LLMD's office. They are sending me a prescription for 4 different antibiotics, and said I only take one at a time. More instructions will come in the mail with the...
Someone asked if I was being treated. I was diagnosed with Hashi's almost 2 years ago, and am on Armour 90 mg. I was just diagnosed this past week with Lyme. I haven't even had a conversation with my...
Today I'm wishing I could quit my job, not to sit at home and sulk, but so I could give any energy I have to myself and my family. Since my first was born almost 9 years ago, I've worked only part...
By the time I was diagnosed with Hashi's, I was about 110 pounds overweight! I started the hcg diet, and for whatever reason, I stayed motivated with it. I lost 95 pounds within 12 months. Then...
I am really sick this weekend, and just feel like I'm worthless. I have Hashimoto's and Lyme disease, and I don't know which is the culprit. Yesterday I had terrible stomach pain (high, starting...
I'm seeing an LLMD in Missouri. Let me know if you want me to email you. He used to be in Springfield (where I live), but moved to Columbia a few years ago....
I just watched the trailor for this movie, and I'm not sure if it will help. The trailor showed people who appear to be very dissabled. I appear to be very healthy (except very overweight) which...
Thanks. When I'm throwing up sick, or have a fever that's one thing. But when sick means all those other things, it's hard for people to understand (and hard for me to express)....
I was diagnosed yesterday with Lyme, and I hesitated telling my husband. While he's a good guy and has put up with me for many years, he quit really listening to me a few years ago. I don't blame...
Sorry for posting his name, thank you for lettine me know. He is a family practice medical doctor who specializes in borrelliosis and Masters disease. He spent 5 years of his practice working with...
Thank you....
Thank you. I'm feeling very awkward about this, especially since the tests technically says "negative" on it. I've struggled so long feeling like a hypochondriac, then when you go to several Dr's and...
Just bumping to see if anyone has any suggestions for me. Thanks!...
