Thank you both, I really appreciate it. Great to see you here still too Denise :) I know you had a really rough time with your OH as I know others have when lyme is thrown into the equation. Its a...
Hi Cr3ative girl! Thanks for the update :) Good to hear you're moving forward too. Well done and long may it continue!!...
Hi goshawk!! :) thank you!! I was taking Tryptophan and I did find that helped -actually I had forgotten I took it till you mentioned it, lol!! I had to stop it as it is contraindicated in pregnancy...
If you are feeling confident in Buhners protocol and prepared to see if it works for you then there is no reason you can't' do it yourself'. I know an llmd would be ideal, but if its not an option...
Hey Girlie! Too long no see, my friend!!! I hope you're doing ok, I haven't gotten caught up on posts yet!! For the last few months I have been very isolated, stuck in my field in the middle of...
Hello and welcome!! Sorry I am not in a fit state to be of much help in advising right now, but sympathize I do!! Many here have been given a similar run around, I too am presently...
Well, this is the first internet connection I have had in soo long I have forgotten when, I know there are some of you still here who know me and others not so much. I wanted to bring good news, cos...
Yep, Girlie nailed it - I got confused by that myself to start with (I am taking the same product as you Warrant)! And yes, you would get the 2400mg of Andrographis. I don't know if you have Buhner's...
Hi Proud Daddy and welcome to the forum! I know there will be folks along soon who can specifically answer your questions, but in the meantime I just wanted to point you in the direction of the 'New...
OK, OK, if you can spell it you can have it, as my Grandpa would say, LOL!! In my quest for a more in depth understanding of what it is about Lyme that gets us, and keeps us, sick I am always on the...
For any one out there who, like me, may have gotten themselves in to a 'snake oil' debate (mine obviously with regard to Lyme treatment, lol). I thought these videos may come in handy if you ever...
Hi there, oceanso, and welcome to the forum! I see this is your first post so I am not sure if you have seen the sticky post 'New to Lyme...' at the top of the posts page? If not do check it out as...
I am sure there are wonderful doctors out there, but my ex-stepdad was a GP and, even before you get into the lyme issue, he was as much use as a dead hedgehog in bag :P Give me a Traveler et al any...
Yes, I would suggest bartonella, purely from my own experience. I am using rife to treat that as well, more agressively now that my lyme has improved so much. Interestingly the pins and needles...
Hi there Snappygums, welcome to the forum! I see that this is your first post, so I don't know if you have already read through the 'New to Lyme....' sticky at the top of the posts page? If not, be...
Hey there LauraJK, I don't really have any solutions but I have been reading through your story and I just wanted to offer up a big hug and tell you what an amazingly strong person that you have been...
Group hug required!!!...
Sorry for the late reply MAF! Just to let you know that, for me personally, it was a breakthrough in treatment. Before testing I had to keep stopping and restarting treatment as the herxing...
The short answers are 1. It depends which abx you are taking. 2. Yes! Although finding the right protocol is the trick 3. Yep, sounds like it!! Sorry for the short response, running around today,...
Yep, boosting your immune system if you can is a must! That's one reason I am on a herbal protocol :)...
Hey there, Bailingtwine, I live in Greece but am from the UK and after getting bitten in Greece I had to return to the UK for diagnosis and treatment. I can assure you the NHS, including the ID dept...
Hey there Celeste :) Good to see you again!! Mum had to order mine from Amazon last time as she couldn't get it from iherb. 'Twas a bummer, but it was cheaper for her to get it that way (in the UK)...
I agree, the detoxification pathways aren't just one problem, one solution, but a series of interactions. Much like the LYME itself! It also very much depends on if you are homozygous (double...
The interaction between most abx and alcohol are most notably to do with how the abx are absorbed by the gut, so according to my doctor allowing the abx to be absorbed before taking alcohol (ie...
I am so glad you have managed to get one sorted, I hope it works for you as it has for me! Yes I can. My first treatment was on one frequency (610 hertz) and only for 2 or 3 minutes. I felt...
It has many factors including your bactetial load and where that bacteria is 'hanging out' (some places are more difficult to reach with treatments than othets), which treatment you are on and how...
Also remember that herxing isn't actually a good thing as far as healing is concerned. What I mean by that is that herxing isn't healing and pushing through one, especially a bad one, reduces our...
No probs, I hope it helped a little!! My mum has had asthma all her life, my sister is a sufferer too, as was my grandma and other members of my family - I got lucky there I guess :) Don't apologise,...
Great :) Thanks Elaine! It'so lovely to 'see' you again. I will keep an eye on my emails :) xx...
Found it..... Hey ScottishLymeLady!!! I sent you an email a while ago but haven't heard from you, I had some problems with my hotmail account so I don't know if you got my message? (Plus I haven't...
LOL, Purrsiankitty!! And it all started as such a sensible thread in the wee small hours!! That's what happens when you let me get involved, you know. You just need to think of something else I can...
Just checked with my mum, she's asthmatic but doesn't have lyme, and she like you takes Prednisolone when it's bad. After her last real bad attack (ended in ICU stay) a doc recommended that she take...
Hey Scottishlymelady!!! I left you a message one the other thread you posted on I hope you saw it??? It is sooo GREAT to see you :) The wee man and I are doing well, we are at grandmas at the mo,...
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid so yes, you would expect the same problems and yes they would most likely exasibate the lyme symptoms....
Hey ScottishLymeLady!!! I sent you an email a while ago but haven't heard from you, I had some problems with my hotmail account so I don't know if you got my message? (Plus I haven't had an internet...
Oh, I am always talking to myself, I am a real good listener, ha, ha!! Don't start telling me it ain't normal. OK, I AM weird, lol!...
I am in the UK, I have hours on you. Next week I will be back in Greece and it''ll be lunchtime already, LOL!! PS. You're never alone with us nutters about, and talking to yourself is a fine...
Just numb nuts doctors telling you you're fine, Purrsiankitty, lol!! It is morning here so I don't know what my excuse is ;) Good list :)...
Hey IHL!!! Just wanted to say hi and great to see you!!!! Sorry I can't give you any help with your question but I wanted to send some great big hugs in your direction!!...
I take L-ornithine (mostly due to my detox mutations) and it helps enormously. Trouble detoxing and ammonia build up can be related to mutation issues. If the other detoxing stuff doesn't work, and...
Yes, KristenBee and bigcat, you are not alone and I think most of us feel like this to a greater or lesser extent at one time or another. What causes it can vary from individual to individual, be it...
Thanks for that link, ChickenArise, it is very interesting, as is the discussion on orthobiotic Lyme, julymorning. Good to know more :) Glad to hear ypu are tolerating the doxy well, bkwjww, I...
Personally I would leave it - I mean not pop it - just so as to avoid secondary infection ( you know like can happen if you pop a regular spot?) I would avoid cortisone personally, just because...
Sorry, my bad, I just noticed that in your signature! Durr!! I have heard from someone that they felt slightly dizzy after mino but couldn't be certain if it was a side effect or herx - and I guess...
Sorry I can't comment directly on it as I haven't taken it, but I just wanted to say in case you aren't aware, that doxy needs to be taken with food or on a full stomach (with plenty of water) and...
This is a common symptom of lyme and one many here, including myself have experienced. Disorientation, depersonalisation, derealisation and confusion which often go hand in hand with anxiety. It...
Yes you can. Just, as Rikky said don't over do it!!! Try and get a good detox in (an extra good one!) BEFORE you rife as well as after and start at the absolute minimum on the rife machine. I also...
I have friend here who uses oats (oatmeal) baths for psoriasis - she puts it in a sock, fastens it over the hot water tap and lets warm water run through it when she runs a bath. Apparently this is...
I gotta put more pics on (of wee man that is) he's a little bigger these days, lol!!...
Just harking back a little to your earlier comment on Doxy and food - yes definitely take it with food or on a full stomach. And with a large glass of water too. It alone can do some funny stuff to...
