No...actually, I just watched an episode of dr. oz where he recommended Ginger and/or Boswellia. I need to investigate these options. I've been living off ibuprofen....it eases the pain but certainly...
I am on their cancellation list. Apparently there fewer than 5 true LLMD's in New Hampshire :(...
The first appointment available its January 20th.....ugh!...
The testing done last year was very confusing to me and my PCP didn't really explain it either. It showed a detection of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (IGG) and Bartonella not detected. However, when...
After being sick for a few years, I was finally diagnosed with Lyme in the summer of 2012. I didn't fully understand the results of the testing but I know for sure that I tested positive for Rocky...
I had been undiagnosed for Lyme for a at least 3 years before I was finally treated. I was diagnosed in the summer of 2012 and by January 2013, after treatment and exercising (weight loss :), I was...
I have a name in NH...email me if you want the info...
Ah, headaches....a major complaint from me for many, many years. I've always suffered from daily headaches (at one point I remember telling my husband that I am always aware of pain in my head...)...
Hi Bizzy, Never feel bad for needing to vent. We get it. Others around us do not. Keep your chin up :)...
Oh...and he's in NH, not MA....let me know if you are still interested. I am also looking for other options in case this one doesn't work out......
I will email each of you but I have to tell you that I haven't actually gone to see this doctor yet so not sure if I can recommend him or not........
Speaking of Magnesium....what dose should we be taking? I believe my PCP told me to take 500mg daily but the bottle says 250.....???...
I just recently began taking detox baths. My question is about moisturizer....is it okay to put lotion on after a detox bath to moisturize the skin (something I do after every shower) or does this...
Sent you an email.......
I was on the pill for many (many...) years. I decided to stop taking it when I was diagnosed with Candida Albicans 3 years ago. When I was on the pill my periods were regular and easy to handle. When...
RollerDerby...can you private message me. I am seeing a doctor next month. Not sure if we are allowed to post names on the [email protected]...
I work. I have a full time and a part time job and am so very grateful that I AM able to work. I have been sick for at least 5 years and got my diagnosis in July 2012. I was treated for ten weeks by...
I too used to experience migraines on a regular basis. I found that learning the warning signs was key for me so I could begin medication BEFORE the pain began. The first warning sign for me is...
My initial "diagnosis" over six years ago was that had I possibly had rheumatoid arthritis. Went to see a rheumatologist who basically told me to "come back when it becomes debilitating". A couple of...
I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has experienced this. My husband and I don't have great communication to begin with and were very close to divorcing several times in the past two...
I have been sick for several years and was diagnosed with lyme in the summer of 2012. I was treated briefly by my PCP with treatment ending in September. I am STILL waiting for my appointment with a...
My PCP had me on Acyclovir (sp?) for ten weeks because my Epstein Barr count is high. I am still waiting for my appointment with my LLMD....can't wait to hear what he has to say....
I don't have an answer either but I JUST said to my husband last night that I've noticed that I am especially tired when I have my period. I am wiped this week. I am on the last day of my period and...
I too have low Vitamin D levels. However, everyone in my family does as well. My PCP says it is due to living in the New East and the use of sunscreen. I never go outside without sunscreen on....so I...
Deejavu...I'm going to try that foot bath recipe! Since I first read this thread a few days ago, I decided to start monitoring my temperature. When I am feeling cold...like Mystery said "internally...
I'm interested in the answer to this question as well. I currently have two appointments scheduled...one for next week with a doctor out of Tufts but I'm questioning whether or not it is worth my...
This happens to me as well. You can tell that you're in a warm room but just can't get warm. It's a "cold from the inside out" feeling. We keep our thermostat set at 68 degrees. Some nights I have to...
Feel better Lymer! I am curious...what effect do steroids have on Lyme.......
I can't recommend anyone in MA but I can tell you that I scheduled my appointment in NH in August and the first available was February 14th!...
I will for sure Traveler!!! I almost didn't even put this question out here but I'm beginning to realize that just about every symptom I feel is related to Lyme. In the meantime, I just have to keep...
Interesting...and for a moment I thought I was crazy :( Traveler...I would LOVE to be able to just lay still for a short while but if I sit down, I'm asleep...it doesn't take much that's for sure! I...
I always experience pain, mostly in my joints. However, I've noticed that if I take a nap during the day I wake up feeling achy all over, almost like I have the flu. It doesn't matter if the nap is...
Ooo...thankyou!!!...
My primary care doctor made the arrangements for the appointment. She gave me a list of six LLMD's in New Hampshire and chose this one because she said I'd be able to get in to see him the quickest....
Summer3...I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time!! Thank you for the encouragement about waiting so long for an appointment. I was very confused by my lab report because everything said...
No, this was just our regular, every day lab....Quest Diagnostics. When she diagnosed me with Lyme (although I'm still not sure why...I know rocky mountain spotted fever is a tick borne disease but...
My Lyme Disease AB, Total was negative. However, I see she wrote a note at the bottom of my lab report saying additional labs were needed and I went back to the lab on July 12th...I don't seem to...
I've been reading a lot of posts on specific test results and am feeling that my doctor didn't test me very thoroughly. As stated in my other post, she also opted to stop treating me after 10 weeks...
I'm not even sure that I understand my test results. Once she suspected Lyme, she sent me to the lab for testing. Here is the general breakdown of the results: RICKETTSIAL DISEASE PANEL RMSF IGG...
After years of being sick and my doctor finding other causes (mainly a yeast infection in my digestive system..), she finally tested me for Lyme in June of this year. I know I was not treated long...
My doctor has stopped my antibiotics after 10 weeks. We believe that I have had Lyme for at least four years. My two main complaints are joint pain and fatigue. Is there any help out there at all to...
Forgot to mention....my primary care doctor only mentioned detoxing as far as food consumption goes. She is a big promoter of eating gluten free as much as possible. Although she had never mentioned...
I will definitely look through the 'new to Lyme' thread for ideas. Thank you for suggesting it. I put a call into the LLMD in Boston....they only book one month at a time and the doctor only sees new...
Hi everyone. I'm new here so a quick introduction: About four years ago I started experiencing symptoms that my doctor was able to find other reasons for (adrenal fatigue and Candida Albicans). After...
