Hi Rick, I don't mean to add to your frustration, but it's better you know the facts starting out. Most insurance companies will not pay for treatment for 'chronic Lyme' as the CDC (Center for...
Sapphire4, I've had oral thrush and know how painful it is. There is a rinse called "First Mouthwash BLM Suspension", available by prescription only. It's a Godsend for oral thrush.. will numb and...
Hi shangler, The first topic on the forum is "New To Lyme?.......Start here!" If you scroll down you'll see Detoxing (easy to find as it's in bold letters). Here you will find the best information on...

Hi Margaret, Welcome to our forum! Not only will you find a wealth of information, but the most wonderful, caring people you'll ever know. Feel free to email me anytime. I can't promise that I'll...
I'll certainly look into those herbs Trav. I'm still on Effexor as it's a tremendous help for my head-to-toe muscle pain. I was originally diagnosed 10 years ago with fibromyalgia due to those...
Trav and Denise, Thank you so much for the additional information. Glad to say I'm slowly improving, but it's been a tough few days. Trav - I do take Milk Thistle, organic Tumeric and Dandelion tea...
Thank you for your replies. Still sleeping most of the day, but I think the depression is slowly lifting. Deejavu and vcast: Yes, I take pretty hot baths; but always have. I will definitely take a...
First, I want to apologize for the long post. I just have to get this out as I have no one else to turn to. My family has been dropping away like flies. My 39 year old son who came home to take care...
Dearest Trav, I knew you were symptom free but had no idea that it's only been 18 weeks! I'm absolutely blown away to think that during all these years that you've dedicated to helping so many with...
Hi all, I decided to post an email that I sent to Trav so as to clear up any misunderstandings about Sarah Vaughter's website that I might have caused. "Hi Trav, You're absolutely right! When reading...
Andy, When you have the time, please read the article I hyper-linked in my last post as well as the one by Trav above. Cat53 summed it up very well. The bottom line is there is no money to be made in...
Hey guys.. There is a website called Vaughter Wellness (Own.Doc.com) run by Sarah Vaughter, well known Lyme activist. I knew I had saved an article from her site regarding this very topic. It's a...
Hi Memri, This of course is just my opinion, but I think it's sad that you have to waste precious time and resources trying to prove to others that you're sick, when your symptoms are so obvious. You...
Re: Enemas, gallbladders, and goats! (oh my!) Too funny! Thanks for clearing that up for us Denise. Wish I could do them; however, as you know the laws of physics do not apply where my colon is...
Actually, if the capsules are big enough you just have to cut the pill in half... when you get down to quarters, they get powdery. Gma...
Well I'm just never coming back to this forum again! NAH! Just kidding. You must have read it somewhere in the past. With all the wonderful, informative advice that you give everyday, not to mention...
Hi Lymer, I also take Baclofen as it helps my spasms tremendously. I had to stop taking it in the past because of stomach issues. One pill would keep me up all night with horrible stomach pain....
Thanks Tickled! I will check the sites you suggested. Gma...
Me Don!! I'm willing to fight back! Knee pain is my most debilitating problem. It started in my right knee when I first got sick more than 10 years ago. I knew I had arthritis and I did have...
Trav.. What's the reason behind no coffee enemas for those of us without gallbladders? I tried a coffee enema when I first started treatment and it was terrible for me.. had diarrhea for a week. I...
Not sure if you can "edit" the title of your post (mods??) but you'll get more results if your location is included in your topic title. If you can't edit, perhaps you could start a new post titled...

wellbeautifulspirit.. My heart just breaks for you. To be abandoned by your friends is hurtful; and a story I've heard more than once. To be abandoned by a parent is horrifying. You have every right...
Both you and your little one are in my prayers. As hard as it is, you're doing the best thing for him. Gma...
OMG Trav!! Just too precious. Even with all the work involved, it must be comforting to have all these brand new little lives to care for. Thanks so much for posting their pictures. Gma ♥...
Yes.. eye problems here too. My vision has deteriorated to the point that without my glasses, I can barely distinguish facial features; and these glasses are only a year old! Can no longer wear...
Hi Mom, Why put yourself through medical school? It certainly didn't do our doctors any good! I'm very new to recovery; have been following Dr. Jernigan's protocol for a little over a week; but sick...
I get that once in a while. A day or two of Desitin (diaper rash cream) and it's gone! Worth a try. JupiterGma ps. hope this is legible.. can't find my glasses :)...
Thanks Don, Thanks so much for the welcome. I have read the "New to Lyme" info.. several times. I don't retain information quite as well as I used to. I seem to be doing very well Dr J's protocol...
Hi Denise, I definitely plan on doing the coffee enemas and plan on starting tomorrow. It's part of the protocol and with good reason; it's one of the best forms of detoxification as explained in...
Dearest Trav, My deepest condolences for the passing of your FIL. I know how hard it is to watch your loved one pass; but also the relief of knowing that his suffering is over. It's a reminder to all...
Hi again Trav, First, thanks for keeping your eye on this thread. Each and every one of us is suffering through their own journey. I choose to believe that most members are here to offer support and...
Yes Justme, I agree. This disease and it's symptoms seem to change from one day to the next for me lately. For years my symptoms were excruciating leg and back pain, exhaustion, muscle weakness,...
Thanks to those of you who replied respectfully. I live near West Palm Beach. I so appreciate everyone's concern and suggestions. I've started Dr. J's protocol and that's what I'm going to...
Kal, I don't mean to offend you and I'm not going into a speech about this; but I fail to see the benefit of answering your questionnaire. Jupitergma...
Hi Denise, Just saw your post. Did you get my email? Carol...
Thank you Nan, WW and Todd for your posts. Too late for the one dropper. I already took one dropper of Neuro-Antitox II Basic and one dropper of Borrelogen twice today; once this morning and once...
I've posted here a few times. Have been sick for over 10 yrs; but never as bad as the past few days. No official diagnosis but I have no doubt that it's chronic Lyme. I've been turned away by 8...
opugirl, How sickening is that!! We pay for insurance that is worthless. I feel your frustration....
You're probably right. There is no code for chronic lyme, I guess there is no code for lyme at all. Awaiting anyone else's input on this. Thanks for responding Justme....
Justme.. What diagnosis did the natural medicine doctor use?...
Hi all, Ordered Dr. J's at home protocol, being delivered today. Have not yet been tested but sick for 10 yrs FMS/CFS. All symptoms point to Lyme. Been to 4 PCPs in past year, none of whom will even...
Hi all, Been sick for 10 yrs. Now bedridden. DX with fibromyalgia, but all symptoms point to Lyme. Been though 4 PCPs in last year who won't even discuss Lyme. Have done everything suggested to try...
Mystery... Thanks so much for all the great information! I'm still on the hunt for an LLMD, which is not as easy as I thought it would be. I did get several recommendations for LLMD's in Northern...
Thanks to all for the encouragement and info. So happy to be here! Back to bed :sad:...
Hi WW, That sounds very encouraging. I'm ordering the perfect 7 protocol today. No, I haven't done any detoxing yet. My life for the past few months has consisted of trying to learn everything I can...
Hi Don, Thanks for welcoming me to the forum.. it means a lot. It's such a nice feeling to meet people who 'speak my language' and understand what I'm going through. Aside from my family, I've...
Thanks so much WWJD20 for responding. Does the fact that you had such a bad effect from lymogen show that it's working, but you just took too much? If so, that's actually promising. I assume one...
