Hello, I am looking for an LLMD in Suffolk County Long Island Thank you - Jackie...
Hey All - I'm baaaaaaaack (unfortunately!) Ha. SO long story short I was diagnosed with Lyme in late March of this year. Got a 4-week script of Doxy, felt like a new woman by the 3rd week, finished...
YES! I have had the painful toe joint issue for a couple of months now. Oddly, when I started antibiotics, it switched from the right one to the left one. It hurts especially when I wear narrow-toed...
Lactose inolerance is actually more common than not. The reason being: We originally weren't meant to process it past the age of weaning. As time went on, humans began drinking milk and eating dairy...
As far as what I've read (don't quote me) but generally the IgG denotes an older infection, where the IgM is more acute or newer. I'm no expert, but an older infection would seem to require more (and...
Thanks guys. I just feel so overwhelmed - this is such a slow process. Every time I have an upswing and get hopeful, I go back downhill. I'm having problems taking things one day at a time, which is...
OK, so now I'm worried. I've been taking 100 mg of Doxy twice a day for 2.5 weeks. Probably 1/5-1/6 of that time I've taken it with yogurt. Now I just read that the calcium in the yogurt can...
I don't have it, but just a quick note - Wild Oil of Oregano is supposed to have health benefits for both Lyme and Candida. It might not hurt to give it a try....
Hi! I'm on Long Island too. Suffolk, not Nassau, but if you ever want to chat let me know. I know of one LLMD in Suffolk but I haven't seen him yet so I really couldn't make a recommendation. I have...
Ugh, so sorry to hear this. I'm on doxy too and for me I don't get the heart problems but it's been killing my stomach. I actually use a symptom tracking app called Symple, where you can track not...
Sorry, this is my second post today, I'm being a chatterbox! This will be my last today, promise. Anyway, one of my VERY FIRST symptoms of this illness was an intense full-body chill that kept coming...
I agree that Lyme most likely existed before Plum Island ever did. However, I think it's a possibility that they might have "super-bugged" it and then accidentally let that loose. As far as it...
I totally agree with you on all of the above, especially the meals. I've always been a grump on an empty stomach, but once I got Lyme, I just feel plain sick when I'm hungry. Support from co-workers...
I'm so sorry to hear about your dog! I do know of a great holisitic vet. He's on Long Island, which would be a little trek for you, but he is worth it. His name is Dr. Wen. The practice is Hampton...
Hey All - This was probably posted somewhere on these forums at some point, but I thought I'd share anyway. I live on Long Island, not far from Plum Island (I'm currently on the South Fork but grew...
So I want to start off by saying that I've never been one to have allergies, besides the occasional sneeze in times of high pollen. But about 6 months ago, my eyes started getting very red and...
Funny you mentioned this. I was thinking about this just this morning. I haven't been able to tolerate coffee since I've been sick. Not only does it irritate my stomach (that could also be the Doxy)...
Yay! I love this question. I am definitely going to go out to the city for a girl's night out! Had to miss the last one because I was way too weak/sick. Going to get back to my old routine at the...
Hi Marie - Thank you for your response. I actually feel not so bad today but I have to go to the Dr later to pick up a note and I think I'm going to ask her to up my dosage of the doxy. I'm...
Hello - I am new here and I had a question. Diagnosed with Lyme officially yesterday, been having very noticeable symptoms for about 9 days. Doc had foresight to do a Lyme blood test and started me...
