Has anyone taken Serropeptase for Lyme Cysts? Were there side effects? Did it work? My LLMD wanted to put me on Paquenil for cysts but the warning about eye problems scares me so I asked about...
I have not lost weight because I am nauseous from the meds and so I am constantly eating to settle my stomach....
I am not detoxing at all. The LLMD has not given me anything to do in that regard. I do drink a LOT and I am quite "regular" thanks to all the antibiotics and probiotics. And I eat a good diet. I...
Has this type of nausea happened to you? I have Lyme (just bitten 6/18/12) and supposedly Bart. Have been on antibiotics as follows: 200 mg Doxy BID for 2 months, then we added Rifampin 300 mg BID...
My method when I travel is small zip lock bags with pills in them. Then I write on the bag with a marker to indicate if they are for breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime. I just went on a 5 day trip and...
I can't tell any difference in any symptoms since I started on doxy and rifampin. My symptoms are very mild. Neck crackles, very very slight headache and the heels of my feet hurt like I have walked...
Does anyone know if rifampin works on Lyme? Thanks. Hoosierlyme...
My blood test for Bart was negative. LabCorp did the following titers: B henselae IgG & IgM B quintana IgG & IgM I am positive for Lyme (tick bite June 18, 2012) and clear EM. Blood test was 7/27...
I have been in doxy plus rifampin for 6 weeks. I think most people on this list are not on enough probiotics -- IMHO. The stool problems you describe are probably a bigger issue than the charley...
My LLMD has me on Saccharomyces boulardi - 5 million per day. Get in health food store. Plus VSL#3 100 billion per day. This I had to order at CVS Pharmacy. It is $93 for a 15 day supply. Expensive...
My LLMD has me on VSL#3 twice a day. It is to protect the gut from being colonized by unwanted and dangerous bacteria such as c difficile. It is expensive, but I think it is worth it. I have been on...
If you have bartonella, does the entire sole of your foot hurt? Or is it just the flat portion of the heel? Only my heels hurt. It is the flat part of the heel that you walk on. I wondered if this...
I am no expert, but since you have had anaphalaxis, you may want to ask your pharmacist how fast you would react to each med with an allergic reaction, if you should happen to be allergic -- and ask...
How can you tell if the probiotics you are taking are still active? I know the microorganisms are destroyed by heat. We have had many days over 100 degrees recently, and some of these items are not...
I have early Lyme and started with my regular doc. Got a Rx for 10 days of meds. Then I watched "Under Our Skin" -- got it from the library. That got me on a crusade. Brought papers from ILADS and...
I have early Lyme and am on 200 mg Doxy BID and 300 mg Rifampin BID. I have three questions: 1). I am going on vacation next week and would like to have a glass of wine with dinner. Why can't one...
My LLMD ordered most of those too, totalling somewhere around $4000. I went to Labcorp and paid cash for the simpler tests. It was a much lower price than what they charge Anthem BCBS in Indiana....
I have early Lyme (was bit 5 weeks ago) and have been on doxy for 3 weeks. My LLMD, whom I just saw for the first time today, wants me on it for 3 months. Also put me on Rifampin, but that is because...
The rolling pin on sandpaper hits the mark for describing my neck sounds. OR Pour a little salt on a granite countertop and crush it with the back of a spoon....
I just got an appointment with a LLMD near Cincinnati. It is a 4 hour drive, but I am so happy not to have to wait 5 months to be seen, especially since I have early Lyme and was just bitten 4 weeks...
I went to the eye doctor and my eyes are fine. There are no signs of intercranial hypertension which can manifest as swelling of the optic disc. So I will ask my GP to double my dose of doxy to 200...
Thanks Summer3 for your reply. The LLMD in my area can't see me until December!! So far my regular doctor is going along with whatever I ask for, but he does not have a clue about Lyme. I am the...
I am wondering if my headache is from Lyme or Doxycycline. Any ideas? I have early Lyme. I was bit 30 days ago. On day 15 I got EM and flu like symptoms. I also started on doxy that day. I also got...
Hello in St. Louis. I am in Evansville IN, which is 3 hours east. I located a LLMD in Indianapolis, but can't get in until December. Did you find anyone near you? If so, would you email me via this...
Can you describe what you mean by "ear fluttering?"...
I feel a little like I am up a creek without a paddle.... Thanks for all this great info and your responses. I read the "New to Lyme?" info and I have printed ALADS Treatment Guidelines and...
It's me, Hoosierlyme, again. I have been reading other posts. Do I also need a different Antibiotic for the cystic form? I am allergic to Flagyl and amoxicillin. What else will kill the cystic form?...
I am in southern Indiana (very little Lyme here) but got bit by a tiny tick while in eastern NY state. About 7 days later got a small pink rash. By day 13 it was a bulls eye rash. On day 15 started...
