That is good news. Thank you very much for your time !!!❤️ I am leaning towards trying that !!...
Yes I do take ibuprophen to ease the pain. Interesting about the tens unit !!! My doctor has been asking me to try acupuncture. Have you tried that? This is an injury after the Lyme hell. But I have...
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I know you are right. I refuse every other injection because of my immune system so why accept this one. Truth is I was looking to end the pain from the...
Hi Everyone. I was diagnosed in 2012. Since then I have been treated and feel better. My lingering symptoms are slight tingling in fingers and ringing in the ears. I was able to work and continue...
Yeast is nasty. I have tried both nystatin and diflucan with poor results. I decided to try natural ways. Raw garlic is a natural antibiotic, antiviral, and an anti fungal. Raw apple cider vinegar...
It's nasty. I hope those meds work for you. It's hard because lyme and candida symptoms are very much alike. I wish you well. We both know this is a long journey and it is a rocky road....
A few days ago I took the saliva test. The results were positive. Since I have already taken nystatin and diflucan with poor results I thought I would try raw garlic. I have had diarrhea both...
I am so sorry to read you found one of those little devils on you. I would take Doxy too. My thoughts are with you. Wishing good health for you....
This article was great. The author is honest and touches on the emotional aspect of what we are going through. If you look further you will find many other amazing articles written by her. Thanks for...
I just had this test done. My result was 1:80 dilution with a speckled pattern. I have had lyme and Bart for over 8 months. Can anyone help explain this test and what that result means?...
Hi Heather Oh my word yes. Wasn't it horrible to go from a healthy, busy, working, productive person to a chronically sick person. I cried every day for the first six months. Now I just put one foot...
Hi heather Sorry about your rough time. Just wanted to tell you it does get better. Although healing is like a turtle crawl. It's been 8 months for me since the deadly bite. I continue with mag...
Hi yellow Sorry you are going through so much torment. Taking all those drugs at the same time must be a shock to your body. I learned to start slowly with new meds. It is the only way I can survive...
Thank you very much. I will do all I can to get rid of it. Happy to say I am finally feeling better. Yeah!...
Hi opugirl It is thick and white. Plus it burns a bit. Gross! I clean my toothbrushes to make sure I don't reinfect. Did you ever imagine we would be going through all this horrible stuff because of...
Thank you so much for your help. I just ordered some saccharomyces boulardi. I will take that along with my probiotics. This is all so expensive! Yellow and vast convinced me to try it. I love the...
Hi yellow I wish you the best of luck as you begin your treatment. It is scary and you need as much support as you can get. It sounds as if you are very prepared for your battle. So glad to read you...
Thanks so much for your suggestions. I have doubled my probiotics in order to try and improve the problem. So now I am taking 120 billion daily. I use coconut oil and have recently added curcumin. I...
I have been treated for Lyme and Bart for 8 months. During these months I have taken double antibiotics faithfully. I had a Lyme rash and a positive blood test so I am sure lyme caused all the...
razzle, did Flagyl make a difference for you? I noticed you joined this site in 2007 so you must have been through many medications. Some of my Bart lesions are getting lighter in color since Flagyl....
Summer, did you get oral thrush? Sadly I have it even though I am taking probiotics 120 billion ! I also take coconut oil and nystatin....
Hi I have been on Flagyl along with Zithromax for a week. With Flagyl I have tingles in hands and feet. The first day I took it I had a headache and was dizzy. I am so glad that has gotten better. It...
How are you yellow? I have been thinking about you......
I would suggest that you never begin two medications on the same day. Plus you might want to ask your LLMD about starting at half dose until you adjust. I was not told this initially and it was rough...
Right now I am taking Flagyl with Zithromax. I have been fighting Lyme and Bart for 7 months now. In the past week I have been able to take the full dose of Zithromax which is 500 mg daily. So far I...
What a horrible post to read. This is about healing first and aggression never! Stop the Anger..........
Hi Yellow As I sit here and think about you beginning this journey the first bit of advice I can give is to try and accept your illness. There will be many challenges you will face. Personally...
Thanks Traveler. I use probiotics which are 60 billion, 5 strains. That is the highest I could find. Can't wait for the day all of this is over....
Bart came straight from hell! So sorry to hear about all your symptoms...
I have Lyme and Bart since bitten last October. My abdomen is bloated as if I was 4 months pregnant. Very strange, my belly button is right in the middle and not as extended. Does anyone know if a...
Hi everyone I am terrified of tick bites too. Lyme causes so much emotional trauma. I wanted to mention I dry skin brush twice daily. It gives me comfort to know my skin is being inspected twice...
Oops.... Sorry, forgot to mention you must drink a full glass of water after you eat the Metamucil wafers. So eat the wafers, drink a full glass of water, wait 5 to 10 minutes, take meds, then eat. I...
Hi. When I was first diagnosed I had a very hard time with Doxy. My new LLMD instructed to take Metamucil multigrain wafers 5-10 minutes before you take your meds. Then eat a full meal. It has worked...
I have been searching for a magnifying glass for tick checks. Does anybody have suggestions about where to buy one and how much magnification? Thanks...
Yeah! I now feel as if life can carry on without extreme fear. Read through that site. We are in the midst of a tick explosion. 2012 was the worst year on record....
I purchased artemisia annua in liquid form. I started a few drops at a time and increase the drops daily. This is the only way I can survive because I am very sensitive. It comes from Vitacost....

Hi Andy My trip to the dentist was no problem. Poor girl had to scrape the nasty doxy stains off my teeth though. It been a few months and the stains are back. I need to go again....
I will never go camping! I think that is looking for trouble. I am concerned my son or granddaughter will get Lyme and lose their good health :(. It just isn't worth it....
My sincere thanks to all of you!...
Hi Everyone My son has plans to go camping with my 6 year old granddaughter. They will go to a camp ground and use a tent with sleeping bags. This really concerns me! What is the best protection...
Do you take supplements & vitamins? Cod liver oil, Vitamin D, CO Q 10, magnesium, & a multivitamin have started to make a difference. I have had Lyme and Bart for 6 months....
Thanks so much for your kind words. I honestly look at each day as one day closer to health. I think it is because I have reached the 6 month mark. The first months all I did was cry because my happy...

On my last LLMD visit I was surprised with the best gift ever. My wonderful husband gave me an Apple IPad mini. It could have not come on a better day because my doctor had just informed me I must...
I will never go in the woods again, I will not sit on a stone wall, rodents run in and out of them, I will never walk barefoot outside, I will never go on a hay ride again, I don't want pets, and I...
Thank you for making us aware....
Thanks for your kind note. Maybe someday I will find peace. However I think it will be a VERY LONG TIME !...
Hi Everyone, I was bitten in October 2012 so I have dealt with Lyme and Bartonella for 6 months. As you all know it is a roller coaster from hell. I am terrified to be outside again. Does anyone else...
Thank you. That is great to hear. My abdomen looks like I am about 4 months pregnant! I am determined to kill this enemy.......
