I wonder if maybe you need to mix it up a bit with the ABX? (just my opinion)My doctor started me on doxy, but after a month she switched me to Azithromycin, plaquenil and cefdinir...along with...
Her medical assistant has answered some of my questions, but the upsetting thing to me was that she basically said to stop bothering her with my health questions......
I have been emailing back and forth with my doctor's medical assistant about different subjects since May 6th or 7th. First there was an episode of vertigo seemingly caused by plaquenil...then...
My LLMD is doing both herbal and antibiotics...Thanks for the input. It sounds like I'm starting on a pretty low dose compared to most. Hopefully it will be good......
I'll talk to my doctor about that...she didn't mention the potential for getting cancer. How do they tell if they lyme germs are knocked out??...
My doctor wants me to take 250mg per day...I'm hoping for no negative effects. I'm starting in about a week and a half....
My tick bite was last July. Like you described it left a dark red raised mark, no bullseye, but it itched. I had flulike symptoms, was suffering from allergies, etc...then the arthritic symptoms...
would regular cow milk work to help sleep? what do you use as a heavy metal detox?...
I went to a hospital lab and all they did was draw the blood, put it in the tubes and mailed it to Igenex. I think as long as it is shipped so that it's received on a day that Igenex is open it...
Just wondered if anyone has taken tindamax and what kind of results you had? I was on cefdinir, plaquinal, azithromyacin, nystatin and some herbal stuff...I started having dizziness and ringing in my...
If you're planning to go to a Lyme literate doc who is several hours away you might try calling to see if they will send you the test kit so you can have the blood draw done locally then schedule an...
TheWryter, Thanks, the first week seemed to go well. Hopefully I'll get the rest of my training soon. I didn't know licorice was good for those things too. I had just heard it was good for the...
I take naproxen sodium for pain. If you want to go a more natural route I have heard (have not tried) that eating fresh papaya and/or drinking tea made with fresh ginger can help... I have taken...
Thanks Traveler! My stomach seemed better today. Hopefully that will continue to be the case. Garden Peace, I tried diluting the licorice today with a little grape juice that seemed to be better than...
Thanks, I'm enjoying my first week so far :-) yes, I dilute the licorice, but it's still pretty bad...I've taken worse though. Maybe next time pill form would be better, but I'll try it with citrus...
One big piece of good news...I started my new job Monday! Thanking God /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif ...
my LLMD said everyone is different too...she said it is possible to make a full recovery, but everyone responds to treatment differently. My response to treatment seems to be dependent on the day....
It sounds really cool. I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it since I already have a positive Lyme test from Igenix...so I would just be looking for confirmation and co-infections. It would be...
My doctor said it cost about $150, but she didn't really speak on the accuracy or whether it would change her treatment course for me....
I have leg cramps even before Lyme...what seems to help the most is taking calcium citrate and magnesium. I also had a doctor prescribe quinine once...that helped too....
I've been doing a homeopathic liver detox and just started doing one for lymph too...my muscles hurt all over, I'm tired & I'm having stomach problems...so I wonder if I'm overdoing it too. It's hard...
Has anyone heard anything about live blood testing for co-infections? My doctor was telling me a little about it at my last visit. She didn't say she wanted to do it right now, but that it was an...
Lyme in Maine, It seems odd to me that you had to wait so long to be tested and then drive several hours for the blood test. When I figured out that I needed to be tested I contacted a doctor who...
Nolan, yes, my symptoms come and go. I believe I was infected from a bite in July, but wasn't diagnosed until January. I have several of the symptoms you mentioned as well as severe joint pain...I...
Not trying to be pushy about the insurance, and yes, it kills me to say I signed up for obamacare...lol...
I don't know what state you are in, but go to healthcare.gov and find out who your providers in your state are, then call one of the local offices rather than signing up online. I'm a conservative...
sknight, Hope you're doing some better today. I was dealing with awful headaches for the past month since starting on doxycycline. I switched from that to other meds yesterday and woke up with almost...
Elleon, Look into working through foster care to adopt. I'm not sure of how it works and it may be different state by state, but I have a friend who adopted a two year old little girl by going...
My doctor had me on a month of doxy then just switched me to azithromycin for the next two months along with other meds both prescription and non...not sure what will happen after that....
Thanks everyone. My headaches are frontal/around my eyes as well. I looked on the meds and it seems headaches are a side effect of just about everything I'm on and the things my doctor is switching...
Right here.... http://www.scenicusa.net/110910.html Ayers Natural Bridge Park just south of Douglas Wyoming. I went to a wedding there on July 3rd and found the tick attached when I woke up the next...
Is anyone else dealing with constant headaches? I've been on doxycycline, nystatin, apo hepat and samento for almost a month and have had headaches the entire time...I've tried all the things that...
Chapelle, It does seem like we're on a similar path. I've got a few months more of being sick, and you're a week ahead of me on treatment, but our symptoms sound similar. I've got the sharp pains...
Chapelle, Thanks for the encouragement & advice. I've been on doxy for about 3 weeks now. I go to the doctor again next week so I'm making a list of things to talk to her about...such as the detox,...
Lymebaby, for some reason my default email program isn't connecting right now so when it starts working again I'll try to email you for the info. Thanks....
Ames, The doxy made me sick to my stomach too. My Dr. said to make sure to take it after I eat even though typically it should be taken on an empty stomach. I guess better to take it with food than...
Thanks. I'm not sure I could handle the kefir, but I'll try to find the refrigerated probiotics. I live in a small town without many options. As far as the job...I spoke with a lawyer and while I can...
Thanks. I'm on a probiotic, but it's just one I picked up at the grocery store. Are there certain things to look for in a probiotic? What kind of detox is best? Unfortunately I don't have an extra...
This is my first post. I was just diagnosed with Lyme in January. I know I was bitten by a tick in July. I didn't have the typical rash, but the bite was a raised red bump and was itchy...and stayed...
