I know that pain! I had the neck and spine pain BAD for nearly two months...then it went away for a bit, and now it's coming back again. It's ridiculous. But the depression/mood...
I just reconnected with an old friend from high school and we're really into each other...we've been talking and texting and hanging out occasionally (when I can handle it) for about 3 weeks. He...
My feet are ICE cold, all the time. The only thing that warms them up is a shower. My hands are always cold too, but easier to warm. I have no idea what causes this, I'm new here. =/...
Exercise/keeping active is one way a body helps to detox itself. So I definitely think some forms of light exercise is essential for well-being, especially for those with health issues. I walk when I...
Reading this made me tear up for you! I know exactly how you feel. Last week I literally thought I was dying and going crazy. It was HORRIBLE. The worst I have EVER felt mentally. I hope I never...
This past week has been HORRIBLE for my stomach. I can't eat at all today. It was bad last week too, but this is just insane. I have lost 25 lbs since last month. It's freaking me out. I'm not on abx...
What's weird is...I'm able to eat during the day and keep it down. But mornings and nights are INSANE. I become so weak and nauseous and so much vomiting...I don't get it. I have called my doctor for...
Also, if anyone has any info on LLMDs in Southern California...I will travel just about anywhere here. I have only found one in North OC that is said to be worth something, but she's expensive and I...
I haven't even been officially diagnosed yet because I was getting told by all my doctors that there's no such thing as Lyme in California...which is some MAJOR misinformation! It blows my mind that...
Well I canceled my surgery. I'm just too scared to go through it, with everything I have going on....
Thanks...every symptom just seems so scary. I hate that any of us have to go through this. I just want to get on abx or something to start the healing process....
My heart goes out to your girlfriend...I know it's hard. I hope it gets easier for her (and you). I'm still searching for a way to get to an LLMD so I can start abx. It's torture! You are in SoCal,...
I have constant dizziness and have for months on end. It never goes away. But I am not yet on abx or herxing...this is just the Lyme messin' with me....
I tried the ginger tea and it seemed to work pretty well for half the day...then come nighttime I was soooo nauseous that I couldn't even choke any down. I threw up whenever I tried. Same with this...
Sorry, what is TBDs? When I had this before, I couldn't hold my head up myself and had sharp pains in and behind the eyes. That's happening again...I have sharp pains in/behind my right eye and my...
I'm so sorry for you, hon! I wish things could be easier for you (for all of us!). The thought of herxing has me terrified..I'm not on abx yet so I have no idea what it will be like for me. =( I wish...
I had this before, this stiff painful neck, for about a month in February/March. Now it's back again! It hurts! It's scaring me. I can barely move or hold my own head up. The last time I had it, I...
Will detoxing help me feel better? I feel like I'm dying this whole week....
The problem is that my parents don't buy this "Lyme disease" thing. They just don't think it's real or that I have it. They're the ones paying for my visit to the Infectious Disease doc...even though...
Lyme apparently attacks the gallbladder quite often. From what I have read, it's pretty common. I hear that Bartonella is the stuff that messes with the stomach and whatnot. Have you been tested for...
Where can I get shots like that? Would taking a B supplement orally work also? I'm genuinely very depressed this week...I mean it's BAD. I cry all day. I feel like I'm dying....
Thanks for the advice and info. I haven't looked up protocols yet, but I will right now. I am avoiding sugar as much as I can, and trying to avoid gluten as well (that's been a little harder). I'm...
Nope...I'm way down in Southern California, L.A.County. It would be easier to find a good LLMD in Northern Cali! They seem to have quite a few up there....
So until I can get treated on antibiotics (which may be a couple months from now, the way things are going), is there anything I can do to treat or detox or help build up my immune system? Anything...
I'm curious as well. Sorry I can't be of more help, I'm really new at all this....
Is there anything I can do or take for the deep depression I deal with? My primary doc (who is not an LLMD in ANY way...she has no knowledge at all of Lyme and admits that) prescribed Celexa for me....
See, that's what I keep hearing from people. My primary doctor keeps saying I need to see a neurologist about the Lyme, but I am soooo tired of seeing more and more doctors and reaching dead ends...
I would much, much rather go to a Lyme Literate doctor...but I can't afford it (I can't work, I can't borrow from anyone, I don't have credit cards, can't take out a loan, and I have nothing of...
I can relate. Though my hair has been falling out for quite some time and I always believed it was due to my pcos and thyroid issues. Still, I know how frustrating it can be...I have cried in the...
Has anyone experienced extreme nausea and stomach issues as symptoms? I know it can be common with Bartonella. I'm extremely nauseous and unable to eat. Even sucking down soup makes me want to vomit....
oops! I didn't realize that it wasn't activated...I fixed it. Thanks!...
I actually still have insurance through my ex...we're not legally divorced yet, just separated so that I could stay on his insurance to get help...and now that I 99% suspect it's Lyme, this...
I'm actually considering putting the surgery off. I know my system isn;t strong enough right now, and I am scared I will have issues healing from it or that it will cause worse symptoms, etc....
Thanks Heather. I wish I had a credit card to put this stuff on! But unfortunately I don't. I am looking into trying to get some help through LymeTap, but I don't know if I'll qualify yet. I will...
I was tested by my primary doctor, who admitted she knows nothing about Lyme, and it was sent to the local lab and came up negative. So now all my doctors are saying that's good enough...despite my...
I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I fully believe I have Lyme. I'm obviously not on antibiotics yet either. I'm currently experiencing worsening symptoms. I feel like I'm going crazy, I can't sleep,...
So, of course I have gallbladder issues. I'm supposed to have surgery on the 17th to remove it. But now I am terrified to do the surgery because of the Lyme and whatever else I have. I haven't even...
I'm DESPERATELY looking for an LLMD in Southern California. I'm in L.A. County, but willing to travel to Orange County, San Diego County. I fully believe I have Lyme and am getting the run-around by...
