I wonder if they would also work with parents who do have insurance, but the LLMD's or Naturopaths they are seeing do not accept insurance?...
Hi Garden Peace, My daughter is 8. It was nearly 2 months before she was diagnosed. She had a tick bite, but we never saw the tick that bit her. She never got a rash or a fever. A month after the...
Just wanted to share that my husband took our daughter to her first LLMD appt today. She saw a pediatric nurse practitioner because the LLMD doesn't see pediatric patients. It went well and my...
Haha! Rowingmom, yes I have both books. I got the co-infection one on accident when I was trying to get the other one. I thought is was a revised, updated, expanded version of the first book. I was...
UPDATING: Today was a good day. Like really really good. We went to the local Children's Museum with friends. We were there for four hours and I barely saw my daughter. She ran and played like...
Looking into getting Buhner's core protocol herbs. While I am adjusting to the sticker shock, I'd like to ask about capsules vs. tincture for kids. Any thoughts? Experience? For those treating kids,...
I think one of the difficult things when dealing with kids, is at least for me, my girl doesn't always know when to tell me something, or if she does, she uses a different way of explaining what...
Hi. I am happy to play along; my summary is: 7yo daugher, suspicious insect bite (found to be a tick bite-using google image search) in April 2013. We never saw the tick and it could not have been on...
Welcome Marymoonu! Knowing what I know now, I think both you and your baby need to be tested for Lyme. You should get to an LLMD as soon as possible....
Okay, I think I fixed my e-mail problem....
Someone else was able to e-mail me...do I need to do something different? Do you want me to make it show my e-mail on my posts?...
Rowingmom, if you don't mind, I'd like a copy of your excel table too. Thanks!...
@Traveler- my daughter was 56lbs with her shoes on and she had 1500mg's amoxicillin per day, so with my handy dandy computer calculator, that looks like 26 mg's per lb= essentially the 50mg's per 2...
UPDATING: Three weeks of Amox. and I don't see much difference or improvement in my daughter. I mean, there is some improvement...but not as much as I expected. Symptoms: fatigue, headaches, she has...
I thought the sweeping generalizations about Lyme were way off and I shared here to hear what those who are directly impacted by Lyme and Chronic Lyme would have to say. With only a couple of hours...
I understood the disagreement between ISDA and ILADS, but I was surprised to find it out in mainstream articles......
My friend shared another article which again declared there is no such thing as Chronic Lyme. Is there something going on? I never heard of chronic lyme until I suspected my daugher had Lyme and I...
Could anyone share or comment about the "you don't have a continuing infection" but just "lasting effects" from Lyme? I am sure someone here has had clear evidence or proof of lasting infection... I...
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/06/18/book-raises-alarms-about-alternative-medicine/2429385/ They claim that "chronic Lyme doesn't exist" and that "it's not an ongoing infection, just...
My daughter is going to an LLMD in July, but she will see a nurse practitioner, not the actual doc. The practice is in D.C....
Thanks Denise! I have Buhner's book in my amazon cart. I also was interested in his "Herbal Antibiotics" book as well. Thanks for the recommendation of Dr. Jernigan's book as well. I just bought my...
Traveler, I agree with you sooooo much!...
Jenn, good thing you are on top of it! My daughter is on 3 weeks of antibiotics and I'm not seeing the improvement I'd like. When I first joined here, everyone's biggest advice was get an LLMD. They...
Traveler, my dad and stepmom live 2 hours from us and doing a back to back trip like that would be hard on our little guys. However, your post got me thinking and once we've been to the specialist...
Thanks for the advice. I agree with you about not doing much, but still supporting her overall health and keeping up with probiotics. I felt like it would be silly to spend much money on stuff only...
Update: We have an appointment with an LLMD for July 8. Current abx end June 21. What can we do in the meantime? Is it worth it to try and get the pediatrician to prescribe more abx? If I can't get...
Thanks, everyone. At first I didn't think about it, but then we stopped the others from sharing with her. I hadn't seen much about transmitting the disease from person to person so I thought I'd ask....
Our kids share food and drink pretty freely with eachother, unless someone is sick, of course. What about Lyme? Is there risk with sharing food and drink with my 7yo daughter right now? Sometimes...
Thank you for the encouragement. I would like to have believed there weren't any neuro symptoms, but I think there are. They are subtle, but there. Sort of like a magnification of some things. For...
My 7 yo daughter said she was tired. And she kept on saying it. 7 year olds are never tired and even if they are tired, they vehemently protest that they are tired until they go to sleep. After a...
Thank you rowingmom and springsjean. While I guessed that we might want to look into a LLMD, your encouragement along with the others has been a good and needed push to just make the calls now....
Thank you for the affirmation of herbal protocol. We have been successful with herbal protocols for other things so I would definitely be willing to use one in this case as well. At this time, while...
At the advice of those who responded to my thread about my 7 year old daughter, I am seeking a LLMD or LLND in or near central VA. Thank you!...
Thank you for the quick responses. I forgot to mention earlier that in addition to the fatigue and weakness, she has begun to have headaches and says she feels yucky after she eats. She asked me...
Reaching out for some good advice, help, etc. Our 7 year old daughter had a suspicious tick bite and developed fatigue and muscle weakness. She was tested and was found to be postitive for 2 of 3...
