Over 3 years after original response, this info was very helpful!!...
I was bit at 5 years old. Was a very active and healthy kid after being bit. My Lyme + co's was dormant until 22, caused my Hypothyroid diagnosis at 23, and then eluded lab tests until 2016. From 22...
I don't miss bread, I just miss having strength. My body feels weak and I can't lift hardly anything like I used to. I am still working FT. My job is stressful, but my health insurance has made the...
At Girlie - Yes, I have heard the same about blood tests being inaccurate, which is why I was really trying to believe my MD about avoiding it. Considering I have had all the above various tests...
At KB69 - I agree. I think an anti-inflammatory diet is very important for overall healing. And for me, I truly believe that sugar is horrible for the body. However, I think it is really interesting...
Just wanted to chime in and say I found this thread interesting. I have been gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free for two in a half years. Within the first 5 months of being gluten free, I dropped...
Wow. Maybe I will try adding in the coconut oil and see if I notice any changes....
Looks like it is 16g for 2 tablespoons. I don't use an actual tablespoon for measuring, so I would estimate that I am getting 1.5 tablespoons. The first week on Mepron, I was taking it with food and...
Hmm that is interesting. The peanut butter I use has 15g of fat. I assumed it has been working well since my GI issues stopped after I incorporated the peanut butter with it. Where did you get your...
I am glad to hear that your son has been able to tolerate the Mepron so well. I have taken many "Z-packs" for strep and sinus infections over the years (before I found out that I had Lyme) and...
I sometimes get that same feeling when trying to fall asleep. Just when it seems like my body is relaxed and I am going to be able to sleep, all of sudden my brain/body has a panic and I feel like I...
Thank you for the kind welcome! There is definitely A LOT to learn. Getting to read other's experiences, makes this journey more sane to navigate through :)...
This post was really encouraging. Great to hear you have seen such improvement in such a short time! Thank you LongJourney for sharing your story....
UPDATE: For anyone who stumbles upon this down the road, I thought it was worth mentioning - Taking a full tablespoon+ of peanut butter right after the MEPRON dose, worked magic for me! No more...
That's really interesting! I didn't know the body would continue to produce "active" antibodies after a person has healed. Thanks so much for the quick responses and the welcome. I've looked around...
Hi Girlie, Thank you for responding. I did check out the "New to Lyme" thread, but I will continue to do so throughout this process. As for the follow up test I had done, it was thru Igenix, both IgM...
Hi All, I am recently diagnosed with chronic Lyme and have the Babs co-infection. I completed 4 months of Doxy treatment with 3-4 herxes, and tolerated that med pretty well otherwise. Re-tested at 4...
