It's just the receptionist, she just answers phones and probably doesn't know much about lyme and was just reading what it said, doesn't mean the doctor will take the same stance as her. If he has...
Long term antibiotics really are not good for the body. This is the way they should be moving. Trying to find an effective combination that will get ride of it with a normal length course of...
I use a 112.5 billion count probiotic every night. It is called vsl3. They send it in a little styrofoam cooler so it stays fresh. I think it's one if the best on the martlet and cheapest I've seen...
I worked part time when I was first have problems and then stopped working for about four months, now I am working part time laid back and flexible work. I am hoping to work 30 hours a week so I can...
Recently my mom sent me to a bakery that makes vegan gluten free deserts to get a cake for a co worker and I couldn't resist. I had two cookies. I was a vegan before getting lyme so I'm used to not...
Eventually will he be able to have cooked vegetables again? When he is on his own he may start eating crap but there is a good chance he won't like it anymore once he tries it. I moved to a farm...
I'm 24. I didn't have lyme in college but I can understand how hard it is in your early 20s to have lyme. I feel like I become 100 in the span of a few months. It's hard to watch all my friends do...
No I never do. I guess I feel like it would just be venting and I don't really like to use facebook to vent. I really post anything on facebook though. I used to make videos regularly for YouTube of...
I now believe I overreacted possibly and just read it wrong. I really hope so. It seems this blood test result is laid out different than the last and it may not be 20 it may just mean that the score...
Thank you for the link. I didn't read the whole thing because honestly it is way to long for me to finish but i saw the part about them bringing about remission to RA with antibiotics. That is...
So I will give a brief history. I am 24 and was bitten by two deer ticks within three weeks of each other in may and June and got sick in July. I got a fever, aches, sever stiffness and tightness in...
Really it is all his decision and not really much you can do about it when he becomes an adult. At some point a few years from now when he is much better and on his own he is going to try eating some...
And every study I have found that they use to back up their guidelines are like 20 years old and only do a ten day course of antibiotics. They need new studies. They need to study new antibiotics and...
They are ridiculous. The id doc I talked to continually said there are no evidence to support that long term antibiotics helped people. That maybe they helped some people because antibiotics weaken...
Anyone at all that's taken this if you could just let me know how you started and what doses you used would be helpful to have some info....
It is not any of the ones listed and I don't have it with me right now to see the name. I can't afford any of the ones online. A friend of mine sells it in their store and is giving it to me whole...
I know there is already a thread on CBD oil but it is so long I couldn't find a straight answer, what is the best dosing to use for CBD oil?...
I thought it was legal in all of the us, at least that was what I was told recently. medical or recreational weed is not legal in my state but I thought cbd oil was legal everywhere because I know a...
i just suggested going to one if you cant find a llmd right away. with this evidence they should be able to start you on iv antibiotics with a better chance of it being covered by insurance. it's...
What kind of doctor ordered this? I would find an infectious disease specialist or get referred to one by your pcp because with mri results like this they will most likely prescribe a month of iv...
Hi, I've never posted on this forum. I'm going through a very very rough time. Some days I feel great and feel like life is so amazing and fulfilling. Many other days I don't even want to exist. I...
The brand I have is raw and is so sticky it almost sticks your mouth together when you try to eat it. I have had the ones with sugar and oil in the past and liked that but that was before I was...
I'm trying to stick with a diet that will be anti inflammatory and good for lyme. I've not been eating peanut butter but it's one of the things I'm really missing. I try almond butter but it just...
Eggs hurt my stomach but I like the soup idea. These are some great ideas. Thank you....
I'm sorry you haven't had any resolution. It's so weird and I just want it to go away. I have yet to find anyone who completely understand what it is....
I will have to look into that. Unfortunately I don't think I could find anything near by that takes my insurance. Did this help you right away or take multiple appointments? Do you think 25 minute...
Does anyone know if neuro lyme reliably shows up in MRI or cat scans? I read about that but don't know if it actually will show anything significant....
I'm sure it's caused by the iv in some way if you've never gotten them before. I would tell the doc prescribing it. I got chills real bad on rocephin but I also got very high fevers and it was only...
I usually don't eat breakfast but I'm noticing that if I shift my whole schedule a little and get up early enough to have breakfast and a little raw protein powder and take my vitamins then, I have...
My biggest problem the last 6 months since getting lyme has been inflammation in my elbows. When I try to open my arm all the way I get a horrible sharp pain and usually after a couple of days it...
is it short acting or long acting? ive always perferred short acting stimulants like adderall, focalin or ritalin. though ritalin never did anything. Short acting usually last 4-6 hours. Taking short...
do you have a fever or normal temp?...
Not since getting lyme but took about 8 different types of ADHD meds growing up. I took both the short and long acting adderall for a couple years. Did the same to me. Some of the ADHD meds do it...
I would ease up on him because it can be so depressing and some people don't make diet changes and still get better anyways. The less frustrated he is with his diet probably the less likely he will...
As far as compartmentalizing or whatever I'm not sure what mean. A llmd Is not an option financially. My insurance won't cover any, I have no savings and can't work so I'm doing what medicaid will...
I had this prescribed to me by a rheumatologist. At first when he described it as something to keep your immune system from attacking your joints I thought it probably wasn't a good thing to take...
I understand and that all seems to point at lyme to me. The lyme tests originally were only made to survey the public to see how many people were infected, not diagnose. But unfortunately most...
Honestly from what I know, without a positive igg lyme test they don't usually treat since that's their guideline or if you saw a tick and had a rash at the site or bulls eye rash then it would maybe...
That is a good question. I know fleas can carry bartonella but I have never heard of them carrying lyme, could be. You can look up a lot about how to holistically treat lyme. Supplements that seem to...
It is unfortunate that lyme has vague symptoms that mimic or match other illnesses. It's so hard to diagnose. Keep trying docs and I'd definitely advise against insisting that you have lyme and...
First advice, don't tell them you are going to a llmd or that you want rocephin. Docs don't usually like when you come in demanding a certain treatment. my llmd said not to tell them I am going to...
Then make a story about going to Connecticut camping or something... Just a thought....
I don't know if anyone has suggested this since I didn't read the whole post. Pau d'arco tea is used for candida detox. You can look it up online. Cheap and available at health food stores. Mine says...
What kind if doctor are you going to? I don't think any pcp would prescribe this. I would go to an infectious disease specialist if you are trying to get medicaid to cover it. This will probably only...
I actually have those flakes and quinoa in small amounts may be okay, I'm wondering maybe if there is a good vegetable to take it with....
Eggs always give me a stomach ache so I don't eat them. I just don't know what's best with this antibiotic. I'm concerned that because I take it with a little food it may not absorb well and I may...
I take doxycycline with some gluten free bread I make myself from oat flour but it isn't easy to make and I'm trying to avoid grains as much as I can. So I'm trying to think of some snack I can make...
Yes I am taking magnesium....
I get a lot of involuntary muscle movements. My foot, calve or hand will just jerk or spasm randomly. It's only when I'm completely at rest. Happens every couple minutes. Isn't really pain or a...
I have gotten lyme in the last year and also had some injuries at the same time in my arms and shoulders from heavy lifting and sports. I have found a very good physical therapist that has helped a...
