I was diagnosed with Lyme through Igenex. I've been very sick with periods of sort-of relief since Feb 2013, before that I was sick for about 15 years after trauma. I've been told that I can two...
I'm on Byron White A-L Complex. I 'like' it (it does what it's supposed to which = herx)....
That a lot of stress and loss. You have a huge ray of Michigan sunshine coming at you. You are not alone. Hugs....
My teeth are totally painful and inflamed--can this be related to a herx?...
Not on meds, but did a food/sauna detox and I feel horrible. Super-emotional, just terrible. Panicky, weepy, etc....
I've been in the dry sauna twice in a week and I feel like I have the flu. Hot, (also just started period, and feel super-inflamed), flu-like, irritable, almost panicked feeling. Is this normal? What...
I am so frustrated right now. Burbur made me feel sick/throw up. One drop. Not going to be able to take my $200 Cowden Protocol if I can't even take a drop of Burbur... :confused: :mad:...
Thanks Margaret, I have been off of refined sugar since December. It is helping. I am wondering if small amounts of maple syrup are bad, too. Probably....
This is what it feels like. My symptoms that sent me to an LLMD was sinus/nerve pain on the left side, and that is what comes back/gets worse when I'm on this....
Inner-Eco coconut water probiotic....
Yes, it's what I took for 2.5 months, before a break. I think it does something, I herxed bigtime from one drop a day. I had to stop, because I was turning yellow (I have yet to see my LLMD up here,...
I am not taking anything else until I see the LLMD on the 6th....
symptoms initially? My guts are probably a hot mess, and I just started taking probiotics again after a hiatus. I eat a strict diet. However, I notice my pain ramps up for a bit, particularly nerve...
I started feeling sick in Southeastern Michigan, and my symptoms exploded in Memphis, TN....
Diet is everything for me. I'm cold turkey....
I'd been sick for years on some level with fibromyalgia, then, in Feb 2013, I was in the hospital with a viral illness of unknown origin. I've been super-sick ever since. It's a whole new level....
I've noticed that simple cuts really hurt. And last night I had weird sensations, just on my lips, of total numbness that kind of woke me up so that I was in a half-sleep. Some of this stuff is...
Me. I don't know, I wasn't educated on bands back then. I was just told 'negative'....
Oops, I meant to bold your comment, lymebabe, about not being bitter, but I suppose I really meant my remark, as well. :)...
I guess my other question is, how do we know if our body is clear of Lyme to even try. It's a thought for way down the road, but it was tumbling around in my head. I know there are different...
[b] Right on. Hugs....
This is a topic mainly for the ladies, but anyone is welcome. :) I've had the symptoms for a lot of years, through my fertile years, and I am 34, recently diagnosed. I feel like this shoots my...
The anxiety and irritability can be bad, sometimes....
Glad you are feeling better. Reading your story, going from a water fast, while underweight, to a vegan diet doesn't seem like nearly enough protein. If you were in an eating disorder clinic (I speak...
Not the same. I'm negative on Quest Lyme testing. Positive on Igenex....
[b] I eat very clean. However, I 'cheat' with Justin's maple almond butter and fruit juice-sweetened jelly on a Rudi's GF tortilla, and I feel it. It's like I ate complete crap. My body just says...
Good luck John!...
I'm on herbals, and I've had to take five days off, and will probably continue to do so. I started turning yellow. I need to wait until March, when I can get my liver function tested. I don't think...
I lived in the deep South and I was basically non-functional in the heat. I moved to cold temps and it feels a lot better than the heat did. Which makes sense, since Lyme hates heat....
Ugh. My infectious disease doctor was an extremely dismissive person, as was my neurologist....
Yeah, I am a little confused as to how killing off all good bacteria in the body is good for the body in the long run. However, I understand doing whatever it takes to pull oneself out of Lyme hell....
I find that wearing sunglasses, always, especially in this bright light reflecting off of snow, helps to lessen redness/dryness/overall symptoms (not necessarily eliminate problem). Hope you feel a...
Hi Maine76. I have not noted deep right sided pain, but I will certainly keep an eye on that. I have my LLMD appt on March 6, and I will request a liver function test, and then have them monthly....
I get told that I look jaundiced by family. Even after coming off of herbals for a little break, I still have a yellow tinge to my skin. Also, have little tiny red dots, pin-prick sized, that I've...
Are you taking B vitamins? Are you on abx? Wondering if you're herxing?...
Rage. Easy and quick to build. Almost like lightning in my body. I feel possessed by an angry sailor....
Revive, nature is a true healer, but I understand your concern. I am going to wear white pants/shoes, all summer....
Thank you. I have noticed that corn, nightshades, and large amounts of brown rice (more than a serving) bother me. Nightshades give me crippling pain in my back and hands, as well as a swollen...
Anything, it could be reading positive things on the internet, prayer, meditation, drinking a concoction, a certain vitamin regimen, a certain exercise practice. What is that 'thing', if anything,...
Yes, I feel worse the next couple of days if it is truly a hot bath. I tend to sweat in the bath, then shower off. I actually feel better than night, then mega joint pain/fatigue/neuro symptoms the...
Thanks John. This nurse practitioner was really rude (she is apparently their 'Lyme person') at this clinic, and she started off the meeting by saying, 'We do NOT do IVs, we do NOT do this, we don't...
I've seen an LLMD in Mississippi, who stated that I have Lyme, but didn't seem blown away by severity of infection based on results. He also didn't really expand upon IND, if I need to be...
Nausea, heart rate, overall flu-like feeling is really bad, yes....
Yeah, my friends are kind of like that. It's a combo of wanting to give me space and not wanting to catch it if it's catchy....
I became ill with a death-feeling flu-like virus that landed me in the ER Feb of 2013. April 2013, I developed scalp pain on one side that radiated into my gums, and it's been heck since then. Prior...
GREAT post. Thank you!...
Healing and Csmm, thank you! I will start small. I have chewable Cal-Snack tablets (didn't think about sugar before I bought them). This board has been the best for advice. I'm really thankful for it....
I feel really faint/dizzy/weird/super-weak on these supplements. Various brands. It's frustrating, because I'm supposed to avoid dairy....
Had adrenal testing. Blood test, normal. Saliva--compromised morning/afternoon adrenals (low), night-time (normal). I feel pretty good in the evening. Best of luck in feeling well to everyone....
Anyone have a day of good, surprise energy, then all of a sudden, you need to lay down immediately or you're going to collapse? That is so frustrating!...
