Thank you!...
I never had stomach problems until I started antibiotics:( My GI doctor doesn't think it is h.pylori but he is testing just incase....
Hey ninjakiller1, Doctors believed I had lyme disease so I was put on antibiotics. Not sure if I even have lyme......
Hi everyone, First off, let me begin by saying I am so sorry that you are all suffering from GERD. I had no idea how physically and emotionally painful it is until recently. My reflux began 5 months...
Hey stacestar! I just recently read that some antibiotics can lower WBC, my doctor isn't too concerned. He will retest in a month. Glad your son is feeling better!...
Thanks Beth! I haven't talked to my LLMD yet, I will tomorrow though. I am going to start cats claw soon! I am trying to let my stomach heal just a little bit longer before I start herbs. Feeling...
Hi friends, So back in January, before treatment my WBC was 5.4. My doctor did more blood work 2 weeks ago and now WBC is 3.8..... Normal range is 4.7- 10.6... I did the lab work 12 days after...
Try to push for longer treatment my dear... 3 weeks isn't enough...
Congrats Chapelle!!...
So sorry Eleanor: ( did you actually see the second tick? Unfortunately it is possible for Lyme to sit dormat for months. Even years....
It is amazing. I feel bad venting to my husband all the time, I am sure he is probably sick of me talking about it....
Hey Reba2000, I am glad you asked this question. I have the same exact fears. I just stopped antibiotics because my stomach wasn't agreeing with them. I was only on antibiotics for 28 days with a 2...
I have pins and needles as I write:( doesn't happen all the time but when I am sleeping it is the worst. The past few weeks I was doing really good until a couple days ago. Last night my whole left...
1bitten2xshy thanks!! How do I get gel caps?...
I am thinking of going the herbal route. the more I read about long term antibiotic use the more I question my current antibiotic treatment. I haven't been on antibiotics long at all. only 3 weeks...
Thanks guys!...
Hey everyone, Right now I am on abx but want to add a herb slowly. (My LLMD doesn't do herbs so I can't ask him any herb questions). As many of you already read, the abx are really harsh on my...
Also, I just want to add that we are here for you! You are absolutely right, every case is different, and everyone's immune system is different. There is no telling when the antibiotics will start...
Thank you very much tickclock and lymebytes!! I really appreciate all this positive feedback!...
I think the theory is that hydrogen peroxide releases oxygen inside the body, and Lyme does not like oxygen:) someone correct me if I am wrong....
Thanks gingeranne!...
PS they ship refrigerated meds as well:)...
Sounds like my story:( I have health insurance but they deny a lot of my antibiotics. My LLMD has sent in my prescription to Rye beach pharmacy in NY. It is a great pharmacy that has an independent...
Thanks Lymerunner! I am gonna up my probiotics:) I talked to my Dr. today and he assured me there r more antibiotics out there to try that are easier on the stomach. It felt good to hear!...
Thank you Sarah!...
90 1 mg! That's crazy!...
Good:)...
Thank you Deejavu!! I have buhners books and will start reading right away!...
Sorry just read you stopped taking it. Smart!! All I saw was xanax and I panicked and felt the need to write to you right away. Horrible drug that is over prescribed in US. In other country's it is...
Inacocoonnow. Please be careful with xanax! I understand you are having a lot of anxiety so if you really need to take it take it only when you really need to. They are highly addictive and have...
Stay away from steroids!!! So sorry you are feeling this way:(...
Thanks Chapelle! I think I might take a long break before starting back up again. I think I am really messing up my stomach. Very frustrating....
Soooo.... This sucks! It seems like I cant handle antibiotics. I haven't even been on any that long. My PCP gave me small dosage of doxy for a month. I could only take it for two weeks because it...
Vertigo. Then anxiety, pins and needles, vibrations, muscle twitches, muscle pain, fatigue, and insomnia....
Hey zowee it very much could be Lyme. Did you happen to take any anxiety meds such as benzodiapines. Examples of this class of drugs are xanax and ativan. The reason I ask is because if you stop...
My local paper had a four page article on how inaccurate Lyme testing is and how people aren't being properly treated. It was great:) because massachusetts is horrible with Lyme....
Fox is the worst....
Glad to hear:)...
Thanks Chapelle! Hope tennis was good yesterday...
Thanks opugirl. I really appreciate it....
Thanks opugirl! What is CFU? Also why so much after coming off? Just curious because I am on my first full month of antibiotics then off for 2 weeks before starting again. I want to make sure I keep...
So sorry Margaret! Try to stay calm and get your self some zinc! Preferably one that dissolves on your tongue. Zinc really works well! Hang in there....
Did your GI track get better after increasing probiotics. I am so scared of ruining my gut......
Thanks gingeranne! Were you on 60 billion 4 times a day? Or 60 billion total in one day?...
Ellip I think I might be trying the all natural route too soon... I don't know much about it at the moment. I hope to educate myself on natural treatment and see an llnd. I see a LLMD at the moment...
Haha just realized it sounds like I take 10 billion capsules twice a dday what I meant is that each capsule contains 10 billion probiotics. Oh Lyme brain.....
Hi! I am on antibiotics at the moment and take 10 billion refrigerated probiotic capsules twice a day. Always hours after taking my antibiotics of course... Is 20 billion enough? Or should I be...
Life is just not fair Reba2000. So sorry you are going through such a hard time right now....
I agree Girlie! We should all do a class action lawsuit. Hey, that's what a lot of people who were on acutane did and they all got over a million each. Maybe then we could afford our treatment!...
Maine76 could you email me the doctors info?...
