Hi, I see this thread is a couple months old, but I'm in the exact situation right now. I recently had my adrenals checked. Some levels are normal, others are high. My DHEA is also very high. My LLMD...
Thanks astroman, I'm going for my blood work tomorrow. I'm not sure how much they are testing. And I'm doing an all day spit test today. I'll look into some of the stuff you suggested. I've heard of...
Thank you so much...
Thanks saraeli, Have you finished it yet? I have the DVDs. I'm still going through it. I would like a DNRS buddy. I was hoping to get some friends to do it with me but they don't have time. I'm...
But when you move and become active, isn't your heart rate suppose to go up? Or with POTS does it stay up? That was something that always confused me about it...
Girlie, Ever heard DNRS? I've read of some people resolving their POTS through it....
Hi Girlie Long time no see. Honestly it depends on how I feel. I checked it right now, when I stood, it went up initially and then came back down a few seconds later. But there are times when I feel...
Thanks jb1994. I'm trying to be careful with taking my BP, because if I take it and it's too high or low I might freak out and have an anxiety attack. It was okay the last few days. Today since I was...
Thank you so much. I'm already on some of those supplements. And since Lyme several years ago, my diet is still pretty restrictive. It think I have POTS. I saw a cardiologist a couple years ago and...
Wow. Thanks. Yeah, I can't explain it, but it feels like my adrenals are working overtime. I started drinking an adrenal cocktail to see if it would help. And sort of, yes it has helped. Can I ask,...
Hi, I was an active member here a few years ago. I'm having some weird symptoms again. I'm not sure if this is a co-infection or thyroid related or something else. I was sick really a really really...
I'm currently taking azithromycin, Nystatin, grapefruit seed extract, boluoke and stevia. Plus a bunch of other supplements like iteres and transfer factor. I'm about to start the ACS Lyme support...
I'm currently being treated on my 4 month of antibiotics. This is my second time on antibiotics in 3 years. Since my initial diagnosis and treatment I've been tested numerous times by my Lyme doctor....
I think so. I did have a fast heart rate while on my biaxin. But I was thinking it was part of a herx. A bad herx that lasted weeks. Is there anyway to test for it or anything to for? Carter I...
Okay so my LLMD just changed my abx for the third time. Since going through my second round of treatment she first started me on ceftin, but i was getting palpations so switched me to Biaxin. Herxed...
K07- That's sorta what happens to me. At least it did on the day I went to the ER. I took a nap, woke up and my heart was fast. Then after a while it just got faster. PeteZa- Im trying to track my...
I thought it was herx related. But I'm starting to doubt it. I've been off the abx for about two weeks now. I'm thinking I shouldn't herxing still? Maybe I am. I'm at the crossroads where I can't...
I know this topic had been brought up a hundred times on here. But I'm taking a break from my abx due to a pretty bad herx. I understand this is a symptom of Lyme. But even when laying down my heart...
Thanks sebreg. I thought I was doing okay, but then BAM! Suddenly I couldn't move all day. I heard some people respond well to biaxin, but I t naively thought that meant less herxing. Lesson learned....
That is great advice Pirouette. I'm going to try that for sure. I'm awaiting my adrenal results, I'll see them my next appointment with the llmd. Since I've had thyroid issues for the past year and​...
Thanks mm57553! I did start with one pill and then at the suggestion of my family, I did up it to two pills a day. I will definitely be only going back to one pill a day. I also have some supplements...
Thanks Traveler. I haven't been tested recently. But about a year and a half ago I had a holter monitor, and EKG and I think a echocardiogram. The one where they do an ultrasound to thing. Now this...
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I need some reassurance. Can someone herx so bad they're practically bedridden for several days with no energy? I only took my abx ( biaxin ) for a few...
I've been on Metagenics Phyto-multi for awhile now. But it is a tablet and two a day. It's pretty strong but the ones I take don't have iron or calcium so they don't interfere with some other meds...
Hello I'm looking for any books, sites, anything at all for information on relapsing. I'm currently being re-treated for Lyme after about a year and half. I don't know if I'm technically relapsing...
May I ask what detox methods you are using?...
This may sound like a weird question and I apologize. But what exactly do your palpitations feel like?...
So my thyroid issues have been going on since last August. My primary started me on levo, intial dose was 25mcgs. And I about I started feeling better. Then around December, I started feeling fatigue...
I was wondering what the little symptoms were. I feel like I'm in the same boat. I was treated with antibiotics for four months and then switched to herbals. Then around the one year mark since I...
Hello everyone. I was wondering how long does it take for someone who has started getting her thyroid numbers in the normal range to feel..... well, normal? Like many people on this forum I have a...
Hi. I've been trying research olive leaf and it's effect on the thyroid. I read somewhere that it can increase T3 levels and help lower TSH levels. I'm wondering if there's anyone who had any...
Girlie- I honestly don't know! Lol. It's from Researched Nutritionals and a my LLMD described it, it was made by Lyme doctors to fight lyme. It contains Red root, sarsaparilla, Boneset, Black walnut...
I guess I'm technically on a break. I just started pulsing my herbal treatment when I decided to focus on my thyroid issues. So as of right now and for the past 2 weeks I have not taken my herbals. I...
I've gone through about a year and a half of lyme treatment. I started out on antibiotics (augmentin) for about 4 months, I was on plaquenil and nystatin for a couple months and then switched to...
here's an interesting bit of information http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/02/08/466032063/scientists-discover-a-second-bacterium-that-causes-lyme-disease ...
That is a long time to feel awful, while waiting for your body to get use to the nature-throid. Sadly, I have to put myself in that group that started Nature-throid and felt really, really terrible...
Thanks. Do you have a link to their website? I haven't been on the Nature-throid for very long, but I'm feeling terrible. My energy is low, my limbs feel heavy and I'm worried it's going to get worse...
My doctor is switching me from levothroxine to Nature-throid. She's prescribed the equivalent dose of the levo I was on and said I should take it the same way. Should I also start with half a dose? I...
I guess I have the opposite problem from you. My TSH is high but my T3 and T4 levels tend to fall in the normal range. I see a couple doctors about the same issue. But I tend to trust the NP I see,...
Same with me. Since I've gotten sick my temp has been in the 97-ish range. At night before I fall asleep it'll drop to 96. My doctor told me it could be a number of things with me. Either the lyme...
Back at the end of summer i started having aunt weird symptoms. I had pain in my limbs, low energy and tachycardia episodes almost nightly. I would wake up at 4 in the morning with my heart racing,...
Teragram, I'm no doctor (clearly), but it does sound like you have a pretty bad cold/virus. Bad weather can always make them worse. Have you been able to see or call a doctor. Have you taken anything...
When I read your subject line, I thought you meant smoking meat, like brisket, ribs and such. Ha. Sorry. In regards to your problem though, considering many people with lyme have to cut out dairy,...
So my first attempt at using a nebulizer was a disaster. I practiced with a "dry run" where it blew nothing but air at me. I think I was expecting more of a mist that I have to breathe in. Instead I...
It's not a mask it's just a cup thing I hold up to my nose. My medication is powdered and I have to dissolve it in a distilled water saline solution mix. Renting wasn't an option I was given. I...
Anyone with experience treating Marcons with a nebulizer? I recently tested positive for fungus and mold in my nasal cavity, just another piece to this overly complicated puzzle. I know people are...
gkamom- Yeah, it is a wide range. It sounds like you have a good endocrinologist and a good pcp. I think most don't understand that my normal isn't your normal. We each have our own ranges that may...
Yes I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism but most of my symptoms were actually hyperthyroid. Plus most of my T3s and T4s fell into the "normal" range, so doctors were hesitant to prescribe me...
I think it is. The problem is I started it the same time I started my thyroid meds. So I'm not sure which is making more of a difference. It does feel like a lot because it's ten pills a day for the...
I'm currently taking ATP Fuel, I'm still in my first month. I'm also taking the Transfer Factor Multi-immune, Boluoke and BLt, all from Researched Nutritionals. I haven't had any real problems with...
