Thank you both. My doc is on vacation but I will ask when he gets back....
I have been on Klonopin for severe panic/anxiety disorder for the past 8 months. I am permitted by my doc to take .5mg 4 times a day. I have only been taking half of that .25mg 4 times a day. I have...
There are a few options but check with your doc to see if there are any interactions with the meds you are already on. Artemisinin, a product called Enula from Nutramedix and Byron Whites A-bab. Hope...
I used to use a clay but it was green... can't remember the name..bentonite maybe? You mixed it in a glass of water, waited about 5 or 10 minutes for it to settle, then you just drank the top part...
Start now. Detoxing is an extremely important piece of the Lyme puzzle....
I've read that aside from chronic Lyme, low CD 57 numbers are associated with HIV and mycoplasma infections. I'm sure there could be other causes but its not the most researched thing...not too many...
I am currently doing abx, grapefruit seed extract and homeopathic Lyme nosodes. I space everything out and have had no problems with it. What kind of homeopathics are you considering?...
Drink lemon water, do some dry skin brushing, the detox baths, green Smoothies...read the post at the top of the board "new to Lyme" it will give you lots of great ideas. If you have access to an...
I'm at a loss as to what to do for pain as well. Just wanted to offer some hope. My brother has an infrared sauna and he said it helps him tremendous with his back pain to the point that he is almost...
Insurance companies can be such a pain to deal with!! Hope you get it straightened out and get your new pearly whites real soon :)...
TOM do you mind sharing with me how much grapefruit seed extract you take per day? I've been taking it but working my way up very slowly...I have herx phobia :wink:...
Have you ever tried drinking aloe Vera juice? I know it sounda like auch a simple thing but its really supposed to do wonders for inflammation. I haven't tried it myself but you might want to give it...
Did you have any Lyme testing through Igenex? I have 2 LLMDs but they are on southern NJ. If you're interested email me and I will give you the information....
Thank you all for your help. My LLMD wants me to stay on abx til end of March and then reevaluate. At that time she said she may have to switch me to Roxid. I'm thinking of switching to Jernigans...
I'm not having any luck with pharmacy abx and am seriously considering Jernigans protocol at home. I ordered the book and am waiting to receive it. Just had a couple questions in the meantime. Are...
I take my antibiotics then 2 hours later I take the grapefruit seed extract and then take my probiotics 2 hours after that. You definitely want to space out your antibiotics and probiotics by at...
I had this years ago and had to get the scope like you did. Believe it or not about a week or two after I got the scope it went away on its own. I guess knowing that it wasn't anything physical maybe...
If you can't get into an LLMD or get the Igenex test done I would seriously consider one of the alternative/herbal Lyme protocols that you can do at home yourself if you need to. Going to your...
Lol I shop around a little myself..Lyme board, anxiety board, Fibro board. In addition to posting your story on the Lyme board, do a separate posting asking for LLMDs in your area. Where do you live?...
Yes absolutely a tick bite from that long ago could cause you major problems now and if you were never treated it could totally explain the severity of your symptoms. Come visit the Lyme disease...
Honestly it sounds like it could be Lyme disease. I know that they tested you for.it but there are tons of false negatives. You need to find an LLMD (Lyme literate medical doctor). They should test...
I'd love to know the answer to this question as well. I'm in NJ and have done some research online. There are NDs but I have yetvto find one who is specifically a LLND. If you have any luck please...
WWJD20- Thanks! I'm currently at 3 drops twice a day and working my way up. Acheivinggrace- Thanks I should have clarified that. I have the same Nutribiotic bottle as you 5 - 15 drops. I know that is...
I'm not on the antibiotics that you are but I am on 4500mg of amoxicillin which is 3 times the normal dosage. I'm also on a very low dose of cortisol. I think of is contraindicated in Lyme because...
Can you please tell me how many drops you are taking and how many times a day you are taking it? I know everyone is different but I am.looking for the average effective dose for killing cysts. Thanks!...
My doc has me taking my probiotics once a day too. At night before bed on an empty stomach. Mine has 16 different strains and its 40 billion....
I have tested negative for co-infections through Quest labs. However I've beenwondering if the tests are reliable. My doc doesn't want to treat with prescriptions because my tests are negative. Are...
I'm in NJ and my first visit with an LLMD cost me $350. $1500 just seems really really high to me but who knows. My doc was going to prescribe me zithro I believe it was 250mg twice a day but with no...
Hi! I'm from NJ too so if you email me I can give you 2 or 3 options that might work for you....
I forgot to mention I also went on the nutriobiotic website and they said that their brand of grapefruit seed extract contains less than 0.1% of the compound that causes the interactions with meds so...
In the Lyme Diet book Dr McFadzean said that grapefruit seed extract does not have the same effects on meds as the juice does. That being said I still take it about 2 hours before or after my other...
I just bought the book and I'm anxious to get started. I just need to muster up the strength to get up and do the actual cooking....
summer3, Yes I am seeing an LLMD now but I hadn't been for alot of years it was difficult to find someone who really knew how to treat me. My symptoms didn't resolve when I stopped them this time. My...
Penny4them- Thankfully my sleep has improved lately although still not great. I normally fall asleep fine...its the staying asleep that's still a work in progress for me. Acheivinggrace- I actually...
Garlic is a natural antibiotic as well as an antiviral and antifungal. So it makes sense that you could herx from it. I'm thinking of adding it to my regimen in a few weeks. Started Amoxicillin just...
Hi I'm Kerri and I'm new to the forum but not to Lyme. I first tested positive 20 years ago and have been treated on and off through the years. I had a positive Western Blot again back in December...
