I have to say that after waiting 4months to see him and then being delayed for weather and waiting another 4months...it was def worth the wait. His gut feeling (while we wait for the labs to come...
Jason...yes I too have many of these symptoms and as you said they was and wane. It's scary and frustrating to have so much going in in different body systems. What is your current treatment? Do you...
Roxie...I did have my dental appt with my regular dentist and he did discuss it with me but totally dismissed the whole idea of the amalgam being dangerous. So I will cont. to ponder this, plus if...
Well, I had my appt with an integrative Dr and I really don't know how I feel about it. She used applied kinesiology to dx and decide on tx, which was so weird and in stark contrast to my traditional...
Allicatt...if u want to talk...enable ur email address...I had my appt at the Chung Institute...
Wryter...I can see you are a strong person and you will get passed these last few symptoms as well. And you have a great reason to stay the course, your little one :) Like Traveler said, stay on...
Maine...that's awesome!! I'm sooo happy that you have finally been seen by an LLMD. Now let the healing begin! Keep us posted....
Summer...I'd appreciate the info as well...thanks!!...
No I haven't. Unfortunately, an active workman's comp case prevents me from using chiropractic. Believe me, I wish I could as I'm sure it would help me with all my aches and pains....
Margaret...yes I'm sure that's what it is...just with the cracking ugh!! My 12 yo has it as well but no cracking...thank God!!...
In the last few weeks I have been getting pains in my sternum, but not like chest pain. So as a reflex I would stretch and try to see if it helps and then it cracks!! It's sooo nasty and it hurts...
Maybe the abx? A lot of my very old symptoms came out within days of starting abx. I hope others respond because I am also curious about this as I am on abx and want to start herbs soon....
Sorry I don't live in Canada but I pray you recover from whatever ills you. Were you bitten by a tick? Are the symptoms for mold toxicity similar to Lyme? Hopefully someone on this forum will be able...
When I can I walk and do yoga but last wk I goined the gym! More to force myself to take my health to the next level. So far I have only done the treadmill and elliptical, but I'm gonna try the pool...
I know the whole process is frustrating, but hopefully you will get some kind of answers tmrw...either what it is or isn't. If it turns out to be Lyme, then you may want to discuss with your eye doc...
Vcast...yes I take supplements and vitamins but my diet varies...not always the best. I was thinking it may be the abx??...
Congrats, that is AWESOME!!...
...that since starting treatment, this is the first time in my LIFE that my menstrual cycle is regular. Just wondering if it is a coincidence or due to me maybe getting better?? I mean literally over...
I would skip the neurologist as well unless they are an LLMD. they are about meds and testing...lumbar puncture, EEGs, balance testing, MRAs, and you have already had an MRI. My neuro has thrown so...
No I called about a wk and half ago, so not too long of a wait. And I too currently see Dr S in Howell and I agree he doesn't spend enough time with us :( I haven't been treated for that long yet but...
I keep seeing people posting that they are taking a break from their antibiotics. Is this something your doc suggest? Is it based on symptoms/side effects? Or is it part of the treatment protocol?...
Just curious...what is everyone's career and are you still able to work despite your illness? I'm an RN in an acute care hospital but have been unable to work since May 2013 mostly due to my neuro...
Best of luck with school and living a full life :) Survey is completed....
Hey Allicatt, I have an appt on March 10th and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is all I need it to be. Like I said in my original post, a friend that I reconnected with told me she is making...
Maine...believe me when I say that I am not adhering to any strict diet regimen...so I was not preaching to you at all :) I had tried gluten free, sugar free and dairy free for about 8 weeks and I...
Hey ccpoly, In June 2013 my igm qn was 23 and my igg subclass 1 was 332 (norm range is 422-1292) and the ordering doc referred me to an immunologist who pretty much blew it off. He said basically...
MAine...I hear you, but you can't give up! I too have been infected a long time...since age 12 and I'm 42 now and I have 3 kids that are symptomatic and need treatment. Yes it's hard and expensive,...
Maine...I'm sorry you are really struggling right now...no doubt you're depressed. Being a mom who is sick is scary and not knowing the health status of your kids is mind numbing!! (I'm in the same...
Akkami...I agree with southernchick...try to find another LLMD ASAP, they are your best hope for a proper diagnosis and treatment. This whole process is frustrating, exhausting and down right...
Looking for feedback on The Chung Institute...good or bad. So ready to take this healing process to the next level, just don't want to waste any more precious time or money. I was referred to them by...
Marie...I always have to remind myself that slow and steady wins the race and with Lyme it is especially true. We all want our health and our lives back but rushing treatment of any kind can really...
Wow...I'm so sorry you have had one crisis on top of another...completely overwhelming! I agree with all the previous postings as well...regaining your health has got to be #1...and suicide is never...
Hang in there...hoping they reschedule you quickly!...
Yes...thank you for sharing this good news. I have the same fear that I may never get better or be myself again. So when I read these positive post...it gives me hope :)...
Thomas welcome and thanks for the interesting info. I haven't had issues with either symptom, but I have a ton of neuro symptoms and nearly daily migraines. I'm definitely going to look into both and...
Joeyphoenix...thats a great idea. We are so burdened physically and mentally with this illness it is easy to dismiss the good in our lives...however small it may be. I'm still trying to consistently...
Thrown...do you have it anywhere else yet? On your trunk, arms? How long have you had it? Typically an allergic reaction will be more diffuse throughout the body and not limited just to one part of...
Bruiser...hello! I'm glad you posted and I'm sorry you are struggling right now but we have to believe that there are better days ahead. I know when you're down in that hole it's hard to feel...
Tbrown...over the last yr or so I have experienced bilateral ringing in my ears and in the last few wks after adding a second abx I have had fullness in my right ear that feels like it needs to pop...
My vote is on fresh lemons...due to additives....
Wellbeautifulspirit, {gentle hug} I'm glad you reached out. I'm pretty new here, but i know how isolating this illness can be and I do have some support at home...thank God. But this road can be a...
I too have a problem warming up even when it's not terribly cold and I've never been like that. Lyme sufferers have thermoregulation issues so it's to be expected. Dr Jernigan's book which I am...
Marie, Yes I am seeing an LLMD who has basically just prescribed the abx. He doesn't much address my symptoms...so I am looking around for another doc. I too have had success with topamax and...
My son also had "weak" positive, technically negative test result but the LLMD wants to treat the same as if it were a true CDC positive due to clinical symptoms. Best of luck with your little guy!...
Marie, I totally understand what you are talking about except for the auras. I'm sorry you have been suffering so much, and unless someone has had a migraine, it's really hard to describe completely....
That's awesome!! Great to hear good news!! Continued good health :)...
I have been suffering from terrible migraines the last two weeks with only two days that were partially pain-free. (I also had a migraine every day from dec 1- dec 21) And I'm used to migraines but...
Welcome Maine...wow...you are going through it right now. BUt you are definitely in the right place. I too have had Lyme since I was about 12 and it was un diagnosed for years, but what struck me the...
Since last wkend have had shooting pains in my left jaw. Nothing showed up in my most recent dental appt 6 wks ago?? I too have had scalp tingling mostly on the left side of my head...very strange....
Funny thing about this sucky illness...you can't take a break from it, but I have taken a bit of a break from this forum and since I've been back, I realized how much I've missed it, and all of you....
