Thank you for the advice, everyone. This is making the choice of seeing the LLMD pretty easy for me. Opugirl, I will definitely research alternative treatments as well!...
Hi Chapelle, thanks for the response. I started treatment back in November but I am sure I've had lyme for years. I've had many symptoms (extreme fatigue, joint pains, cold and stinging hands/feet,...
Hello all, I've been doing a bit of reading on the subject and I'm fairly certain I need IV antibiotics, but I don't know if I should see an ID specialist or LLMD in order to get that kind of...
I went through the same last year; an extremely stiff back that came out of absolutely nowhere so I suspect lyme had something to do with it. All of the cracking and snapping at the chiropractor...
When I first started taking doxy, it made me so tired I could barely move. I can tolerate it much better now, but this is several months later....
Thank you for the responses and information, everyone. It's very helpful to someone who is totally new to all of this :-)...
Out of curiosity, how quickly should one see the benefits of turmeric? I've only been on it for two days now, but my knee is a bit less swollen and more flexible. It could be in my head, but I'm just...
Wow Traveler, and here I was worried about 1500mg a day! That seems like it might end up being pretty expensive so I'll have to stick with a lower dose, but it's good to know I was over thinking it!...
Thank you for the replies. Lyme Contractor, I will try 1500mg and see how I feel....
Hi all, I just started taking turmeric today in the hopes that it will help with knee inflammation. However, I'm a bit confused on just how much I should be taking. The bottle says to take 1000mg...
Thanks so much for your reply, Traveler :-) It's not the worst thing in the world, but boy is it annoying. I can't wait to be rid of it!...
Hello everyone. I'm almost hesitant to ask about this since it's such a gross topic, but does anyone else suffer from constantly cold and sweaty feet? I'm not even sure it's related to lyme or any...
I wish I could still exercise! I've been resting for the better part of 5 months now thanks to knee swelling and pain, and Doxycycline keeps me so tired that upper body exercises are difficult too....
Thank you for your response lymerunner! I will try taking a break from the Doxy if the pain and swelling continues to increase....
Hello everyone, I started 400mg of Doxy on Sunday and since then I've noticed that the worst symptom of my lyme, a swollen and painful left knee, has become much worse. I've tried RICE but none of it...
Thank you for posting this. A little reassurance goes a long way....
Nice idea for a thread. I've been lurking for awhile and this gives me a good reason to start posting :) I can't say for certain, but I believe my first symptom was extreme fatigue that lasted...
