Thank you guys! So I will not worry so much about sticking rigidly to the schedule and just work my way up as I can. I see my LLMD in a week and will run this all by her as well....
Hi guys, been a while since I've posted. I originally was slated to begin abx back in February for babesia but have since had a positive Lyme test (iSpot), and talked with my doc about switching to...
This is SO great to hear!! I've been praying for her!...
Thank you! I will do that from now on....
Thank you guys for the responses. How about the spacing of all these? Like when I add in the plaquenil, should I take it near the zithromax or a little away from it? Same when I add in the mepron...
I am starting my actual medicines for babesia tomorrow (started my probiotic and Nystatin over the last week), and have a question about moving up the dosage. I am going to start at smaller doses and...
Actually I did just think of something else...I believe my probiotics say to take on an empty stomach, but I've also heard probiotics should be taken with food? Any insight on this?...
I do all of those except the liver flushes and charcoal...but will add in other things if I need them for sure!...
That's what I'm using too, thanks Trav!...
I'm not taking any binders right now. The tea is my detox tea that I drink once a day, I just wanted to check whether it would affect anything, if I need to make sure I leave enough space between...
LOL about your cat! Thanks for the advice. This sounds like a good way to go. Do I need to space my detoxing away from anything? Mainly just wondering about the tea. And thank you LMCM, will keep...
I've been having issues with it too, so no not just you. It doesn't want to load sometimes....
I had my first LLMD appointment about two weeks ago, and I wasn't expecting to hear anything until my next appointment in February concerning test results...but to my surprise, my doctor called a few...
I'm sure others will have plenty of other suggestions, but some off the top of my head are good fats - things like nuts/nut butters, healthy oils (coconut, olive), avocado, etc. They also have a...
I drink Yogi brand detox tea, and I really like it. I haven't tried any others....
I too deal with those horrible thoughts upon waking, though mine is more of like being hit with a dose of reality. I worry I am getting worse, getting weaker, etc. I wake up and immediately feel...
Not being able to exercise like I'm used to is something I'm having a hard time adjusting to, too. I feel so lazy, and it makes me feel worse about myself. But, I know I have to put my health first....
Happy to hear all your good news, Chapelle! Thank you for sharing and putting more hope out there!...
Surprisingly, sugar has been the easiest thing to give up on this new diet, for me. It probably helps that back in the spring, before I got sick, I had already started cutting way back and focusing...
Ah, I was not aware I could just empty the capsules into stuff, that's good to know! Thanks for the help so far everyone. It just feels like everyday is the same right now, and that doesn't give me...
The kefir I use has 12 strains in it...and according to the website that manufactures it, it says a one cup serving has 7-10 billion CFU. I've read I need much more than this? I guess this is good to...
Thank you for the suggestions so far! I have been taking b-complex and D3, but almost bought some methyl b12 a few weeks ago. Is it okay to take if I don't know what my levels are? I also need to...
I am not, Girlie, but have thought about either the eleutheros or ashwaganda. Are they similar?...
This has been me pretty much everyday for the last two weeks. It's brutal. And what stinks is that before the emotional rut hit me, I had a pretty good week!...
Hi guys. Before I go into all this, here's a quick summary of my story - I started showing obvious symptoms in July for about a month, everything found to be normal with my blood work at the time, CT...
Yes I think concentrating on the Lyme is your best bet. I am just recently finding out about the anxiety this can cause, though I'm not diagnosed yet, but even after over a decade of panic attacks...
Yes I get this buzzing too sometimes! When my symptoms hit again last month this was one of the new ones - it was especially annoying when trying to sleep. Now it comes and goes but so far hasn't...
I had the same thought pattern wheny symptoms came back last month and I wasn't sleeping...I couldn't imagine how I would be able to keep chugging on like that, and that I was just constantly...
I am so sorry you are feeling so badly righty now! I so understand about the sleeping problems. I had horrible issues with insomnia last month and didn't know how I was going to make it for almost...
I loved Breaking Bad, and Parks & Rec is my favorite show. I want to start Orange is the New Black soon....
I too wake up some mornings with that same "weighed down" feeling...in fact the last few days I have, and I get it off and on throughout the day too. As far as I know I'm sleeping decent enough,...
Sorry you are hurting from this! But you can't blame yourself for something you had no idea about. I know it's hard not to feel bad, but try to relax and don't be so hard on yourself, because it's...
I have these occasionally when trying to go to sleep. It was very bothersome last month when things flared up again. I take melatonin to sleep now so either that has helped or they have just gone...
At this point, I am looking forward to being able to workout normally again. I miss my Zumba classes! And I want to be able to start teaching it like I was supposed to. Most of all, I want to look...
Thank you for posting this. I've been feeling down today, thinking of the road ahead and worrying how long I will have to treat whatever I have. Stories like this give me so much hope! And I...
Thank you for such an encouraging post! And congrats on the bundle of joy as well!...
I don't have pain from touching my skin but I definitely am experiencing a lot of nerve issues right now. Some itching (I've had this for years though), those pin-prick like sensations, some of the...
My symptoms change throughout the day sometimes. I just want to wish you good luck with your appointment and I hope it goes well!...
I'm sorry you are dealing with this and that is so hard for you. I too feel bad for others around me, especially my parents, who I still live with. I just try to apologize to them any time I can, and...
I too am still learning so I don't feel qualified to answer posts about treatments and whatnot but I am making an effort to respond to newbies like myself who are also feeling scared, and also any...
I definitely notice some cycling of certain symptoms and some that seem to be more consistent but at different intensities. I haven't been diagnosed yet but my symptoms started in July full swing and...
I understand this all too well right now! I have dealt with panic attacks/anxiety/random bouts of depression for half my life (I'm 28) and man, what I have been going through lately makes a lot of...
I don't know how helpful it's been for me but I figure it must be helping somewhat as part of my overall detox routine. It is all about what you can tolerate...I think it's been gentle on me as I...
I had issues with this during my first episode of symptoms in the summer and during the initial days of my second flare up. I don't know if mine was due directly to whatever is going on with me, or...
These sound delicious! Thanks for sharing....
Mine is like a very high pitched sound that comes on randomly and lasts no more than 10 seconds at the most. With this flare up it hasn't been happening as much. Mine is also mostly confined to my...
Hey Staci, If you enable your email in your profile I would be happy to send you an email about who I'm slated to see!...
It's probably a little different for everyone, but I started taking it a few weeks ago for my terrible insomnia - it's been a real life-saver! Unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone, but it...
I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time with the anxiety...I have dealt with it for years and I know how overwhelming it can be. I am new to all this too and I haven't even been officially...
I am not yet in treatment but have an appointment with a LLMD in January. So far I have begun slow detoxing and will possibly begin trying some herbs (likely Buhner's). I see from other topics that...
