Whatever the cause, the headaches need to be diagnosed and treated. These types of headaches that cause extreme pain are serious and could trigger a stroke. I can't imagine being in pain like that...
Oh and.. Headache specialist will most likely send you for a CT scan just to take a look and rule out other issues. It's quick, painless, and non invasive. So if you hate the endless poking and...
Another forum member pointed me to a recent thread here about Lyme in the state of Virginia. Haven't had a chance to read it carefully but skimming it I saw something to the effect of "there is NO...
I too get those horrific migraines. My neurologist is a headache specialist and the meds she prescribes usually help me. She is also a migraine sufferer so she 'tests' the stuff on herself-love that!...
Hi Jen, Watched your vid and I'm curious about what happened to your Lupus diagnosis after the Lyme was treated. Do labs show the Lupus is resolved? Thank you....
I'm no *pro* but I've been taking Florastor, a relatively inexpensive shelf stable version of S. Boulardi, since starting oral abx in January. I buy it on Drugstore.com. Last week I stopped taking it...
Being sick and debilitated is hard enough and *nobody* deserves to be treated so poorly by a doctor. Sorry for your crappy appt, M. I've run into a few rude Docs myself but now I pre-screen to be...
Looked at pics at the link and I'm hungry now. :-) Definitely will try those!...
LOLSOB...
Would also like to mention that my Primary Care Doc told me I couldn't possibly have Lyme because I have "so many problems." Looking at the symptoms lists that have been posted here, all of my...
Hi Amadeus, After being sick for a few years and being diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases I finally saw a Lyme specialist a few weeks ago. The Lyme doc asked me to have a Western Blot done by...
check out kemonusa.com and click on "Nayo." it's the only color that doesn't give me an "Insta-migraine." zero odor and colors my very coarse, resistant gray. the color doesn't fade any faster than...
klccm go for it! Now there are natural yogurt based permanent colors with no odor, no harmful chemicals, and they work great. Last week I was supposed to get a color and highlight. Didn't feel well,...
'like epilepsy, stimulation being exhausting", and all of the above! sort of glad it's not just me....
thank you both for the inspiring do-ahead food ideas! sometimes by dinnertime i'm just wiped out and my hands hurt too much to mess around with chopping, etc....
living free, the walking at the garden show and then shopping made me smile. even the sore muscles. it's a big deal to have a day like that. can you share some of your frozen meal strategy? thank you....
Driving has become very difficult for me. I was always a very calm driver with a perfect driving record, and I used to enjoy a good road trip every now and then. Now I'm a wreck in the car. I get...
I've been on Doxycycline for the past few months and have found I can eat/drink whatever I want as long as I drink and gargle with some very strong Sage tea soon after eating "The Bad Stuff." I buy...
That's awesome-squirreled the sauna link away for future use. Thank you for posting. Love it that they use it in Switzerland at Paracelsus Clinic....
I've had a love-hate relationship with Neurontin. Since starting Doxycycline a month ago I've had awful nerve pain, mostly in my hands. Last week it was keeping me awake so I dug out the Neurontin my...
Funny about the hard boiled eggs. I made some last week and a few times in a rush I ate them cold out of the fridge. Afterwards it felt like I'd eaten a rock. But I'm fine with a small fritatta....
Oops, Quinoa is a grain. NEVER MIND! Lyme Brain :-)...
Last week I made some Ancient Harvest brand Quinoa cereal flakes drizzled with organic olive oil. Quick, simple, and easy on the antibiotic ravaged stomach. Great re-heated. I like Quinoa but had...
Thank you, astroman-you're onto something with the arms. I don't feel knots in my arms but noticed last night that my arms were as hard as rocks like I've been lifting weights. I wish! Convinced my...
Hello, I've been on Doxycycline for over a month now, with a small break last week. I was given the Doxy to tide me over till I see a "real" Lyme doc in March. The "pins and needles" started about a...
Hi, I'm in Ma. A few times a month I have my groceries delivered by "Peapod" for Stop & Shop. They always send me promo codes for free delivery and it's been a big help. Schlepping bags of groceries...
hi lm, I'm a newbie here too and recently started antibiotic treatment. Just had to pipe up, though, because Minocycline made me very depressed. I switched to Doxy and in the first few weeks it had...
I've had a sore spot on top of my head for weeks. I mentioned this to my rheumatologist at my last appt., to which she said...nothing. My neurologist said, "This is not brain!" Meaning, it's not a...
Thank you all. It's really comforting to not feel so alone in "Lyme Land." The bottle says "IC Hydroxychloroquine," underneath the scull and crossbones drawn with bright blue Sharpie. Reading...
Hello, Yesterday was my 2nd attempt to take Plaquenil with my 2x per day Doxycycline. Both meds were prescribed by my Rheumatologist earlier this month in an attempt to keep what is likely Lyme under...
From the link: "In July last year, Mrs Wood and her husband Nick, 37, went to Germany for treatment, which including flights and accommodation cost around $78,000. The treatment involves the patient...
oh, and hi! :blush:...
Thanks in advance, and Chris, if you're reading this: good luck and maybe we'll cross paths in a waiting room....
