My experience: I ordered the kit from Igenex and it was delivered to my house within a week or so. Then i took the kit to my doctor. She agreed to sign off on it ( i think she feels bad that she...

Multifacedme, Yes, dont give up. All of us seem to have gone through the ringer with countless doctors, scratching their heads, with no clue. I agree to start on some herbals before you can get to a...
My initial visit was $1,000 usd, then evry three months a phone appointment $200 usd. All other office visits are $400 usd. Worth every penny once I started to feel better. Having a relapse now but...

Hi Girlie...I saw the lyme doc in November and she prescribed the abx then but I was so scared to start all these drugs that I put it off until February so I could do some more research. So I...

Big Hugs IHL. Xo...
Hey! Thats awesome news. Really takes a load off (no pun intended!). Glad you are feeling better and that you stuck up for yourself !...
I didn't have the fatigue or joint pain. Mine was all neurological, numbness, tingling, constant tingling....dizziness, eye issues and flu like symptoms....
I also went through IGENEX and thank goodness I did. It is worth the money to get properly tested...
I am treating for lyme and babesia...

Hi Sydney, and welcome to the forum. Sure sounds like you have alot going on. I think you should look in to getting your blood tested properly through Igenex lab in California. That is a good place...
I have been working throughout treatment but have taken my share of sick days. Thankfully my employer is understanding. Its tough some days, but I push through...
You are right, there is not enough evidence, but always in the back of our minds. All of this can drive us crazy at times but this is a wonderful support system....
Dave, I know how you feel about the dating thing, but my biggest worry is the possibility of sexual transmission. I don't think most women are stuck on the physical like you describe. If you are...
Yep, had a root canal on my front tooth about 6 months ago. Doc says it seemed weird to need a root canal on front tooth when it hasn't been traumatized (banging it). Just another weird symptom...
Have a great time. I also find distractions to be good. Im sure you and your family will have a blast. Please let us know how you make out !...
Ahh LittleCupcake.....i would kill for a cupcake right now! Chocolate, smothered with icing... :)...
I agree, get Igenex to send you a copy...geez we spend enough money for them, we should be able to have a copy sent to us. Mine went directly to my doc, who couldn't read them anyway!...
I agree with Girlie...Western blot is the way to go. Igenex is the best. Good luck to you!...
Aww happyjo, you are sweet...i wouldnt want you to incur any expense on my behalf, but thank you so much for the offer!...
Oh Margaret, im so sorry you are feeling so bad. And yes, you should always ask for help from friends and family when you need it most! We are all here for you...whenever u need us. Hugs...
Im guessing we will need to order it from Amazon. I may make a trip over the border soon so I will check out Walgreens...
I cant really comment on the band 41 but maybe someone else can chime in. I can say though that the burning feet and numbness was one of my first symptoms. Sounds like it could be a symptom of...
Ive been detoxing like crazy as well. Epsom salts baths, lemon water. Im trying to get my hands on some alka seltzer gold (not sold in Canada). Im scared to go for massage since it caused a really...
LP hang in there! This crap can really take a toll! Do something special for yourself...treat yourself, maybe not with food but something you enjoy! Be kind to yourself...we didn't ask for this but...

I think detox baths are good for anyone, sick or not. We all have toxins in our bodies and some have a harder time getting rid of them. Before I got sick I use to go for massages. The masseuse would...
Girlie, Yes im still on all the abx i started with. The Metro, which I think is the same as Flagyl, is pulsed 2 days a week. My doc is very aggresive with treatment. I have a phone appointment with...
