Hello. I have had chronic Lyme for probably fifteen years. Presently, I'm doing rife treatments and I take some charcoal and sometimes ALA. I had mercury taken out of my fillings some twenty years...
Yes. Hannahrdog, Driving has always aggravated any kind of back problem I was having. and just sitting for any long length of time as well. I dealt with a herniated disc in my lower back off and on...
Hello Gamma and welcome, This morning I wrote a rather long entry and since I hadn't logged in first, it wouldn't go through. In a nutshell, it said 'I know how you feel'. I have not worked for ten...
Hi nsearch, Yes, i would hope you're a non smoker. I came down with something similar last November. I was told it was a virus that was going around. I had the horrible cough but when I took the...
Hello Pug Mom 1, How surprised I was to read your post because about a year and a half ago my doctor sent me to an oncologist because he thought I had MGUS. It turns out that I do. It was found in...
Hello Zebra, I'm sorry to hear that you are having a relapse and not feeling well over the holiday. I decided to reply even though it's after the time you were looking to hear back. Just about the...
Hello LymeRebel, Yes. It sounds like your fatigue was set off by the flu you had. I also had a virus respiratory flareup during December. During that time, I took a strong cough prescription which...
Hello H Mommy, Yes. Yes as well. Unfortunately I have had that kind of pain. Mine may have begun before I had Lyme. It's hard for me to know which came first. When I was 29 I bent down to tie my...
Thank you for posting this Traveler. It's very easy to follow this article and it's good to be reminded how much misinformation there still is about Lyme. I'm glad he has made it part of the public...
Hello Amolina, Rife has helped me a lot over the past 7 years. I'm currently using a BCX Ultra Deluxe. There's an email list on the net through Yahoo groups.com called Lyme_Rife. They post daily and...
Hello Scobaboy, Welcome. You've gotten good advice here. Not all tests will pick up Lyme. I feel you're on the right path. I wish you well on your upcoming doctor's visit. Colloidal silver didn't...
Hello again. If R lives in Bangladesh it would be impossible for him to see a doctor in St Louis? I agree with the advice Castlelady gave you. I would hope there would be a local clinic where you...
[b] Hello ESME, I do know what you mean. I worked full time and then part time out of the home until I retired. Then, I volunteered. My conditions flared up these last two-three years and I found I...
Hello Joey, This is a pretty complicated situation because you have so many things going on I"m sorry to read that you've had to experience all of this. I also don't quite understand some of the...
[i]Hello Jaymeek, This is a very well written article. It is definitely not cliche. I paused and reread some entries a few times as it gave me cause to reflect. For instance, I'm still coming to...
Hi Bettsann, I have had CFS for probably about 20 years also. I have had periodic digestive issues over that time. I also have Lyme so some of my symptoms may no doubt be different, and like...
thank you DaveNJ41 for this post. It's a very interesting topic. I'm wondering dbl219 what 'decarboxylated' cannabis flower is? Has it undergone some process? Do you get it from a dispencery? It...
thank you so much for letting me know about your encounters with all of these tests. (Close Encounters, of the strange kind, maybe I should say that.) I have had an ultrasound of my liver as well and...
I've been treated for some ten years for Lyme and chronic fatigue. I took a break last year and have been doing rife this past month with a coach. I felt I'd reached a bit of a plateau and wanted to...
Hello PeteZa, Thank you for your reply and your link. When I looked at this month's chart, it showed the full moon to be Tuesday, today, and tomorrow. That would make sense because the equinox seems...
Hi Dave, I am fairly new here and I send you springtime hugs from northern CA where the sun has just come out. Having gone off your treatment and then catching a bug. It makes total sense you would...
Hello Miss Shiver, People have really given you excellent advise here. I would follow what Girlie has to say. Yes. Lyme Literate doctors are expensive. However, you can spend lots of time and energy...
Hello MultiF. It wouldn't surprise me. I know there was an Equinox on Saturday night and my energy was way up. I hadn't felt so good in over a few years. We had rain where I live, the next day and I...
Hello Heat 123, I know it's been five months since this post. Have you gotten any further testing done? Any results. I agree with bluelyme. I was tested too through Igenix. It's best to find a Lyme...
Hello Azsusan, I see all these posts were written in 2014. I don't know if you're still a part of this group. If you are, I'm just curious? Did you ever get tested or treated for Lyme? I agree with...
[b][i] Hello Mama-T, I'm writing only because I just had some labs done with Quest I didn't know you could test Lyme through LabCorp? I don't know the specifics for IgM bands 23 or IgG bands 41 and...
Ok. I too am glad you're in touch with your anger. Who wouldn't be so upset with all that you and many of us have gone through? I always think, if I went into a car mechanic and he or she...
Yes. I agree with Traveler. Stress is a part of life and is with us whether we want it or not. The best thing is to try and limit it. I took a short trip the week after New Years. Just having to get...
Hello Savyadina, I do understand what you're writing about. When you say, you can't bring yourself to see a therapist, that makes me sad. It seems like 'something bad' happened. I have had positive...
Hello Healing98 and Girlie, As to Healing's question, why has your ND not treated your endo issues and inflammation? To answer that, he has. As of 10 months ago I stopped going to him. I decided to...
Hello Landslide45, I had an ultrasound done and did not have any stones show up in my gall bladder. Over the years, probably 20 or more, I've had symptoms. Now, I follow the gall bladder 'attack'...
This might sound like a strange question. I have been treated for about eight years by an ND. Things have gone along fairly well. I know my thyroid needs some attention and I'm seeing a primary care...
Hello Lymies Brother, You certainly have gotten some very good responses here. Like your brother, I had a problem with antibiotics and wasn't able to take them. Later, about 7 years ago I bought a...
Thanks for that post. It's the same for me too. Fatigue and muscle weakness. I do take CoQ10 and will try the ashwaganda. I was able to go out for Thanksgiving mid day and found myself, resting,...
Hello traveller, I have been taking Standard Process for about 3 months. I now take cortef for my adrenals. I'm wondering how were you tested for adrenals? By saliva or blood work or muscle testing?...
[/2] Hello. I know this was a posted topic a few years ago. It didn't get many replies. Have any of you done this testing and followed a nutritional response type diet? ie. low carb, no sugar and...
[i]Hello That Crazy Girl, No I have not had these things happen to me. Fortunately. I'm glad you came out of it on your own. That's quite a story. I wonder what the ER would've done. It surprises me...
Hello Toronto_M, Please see my reply to 'rowingmom got a question' about 8 posts down from yours. It sounds like you're starting the Buhner protocol? Maybe he recommended these?...
Hello Moon61, Well, 'heavy metals' for me is a rather large topic. Some doctors and sources on the net talk about cilantro, chlorella, charcoal, zeolites and other herbs as chelating agents for heavy...
Hello Jewelry lady, Welcome to this forum. No need to worry about your English. I am able to understand what you are saying. I have had this for maybe 20 years. I still have fatigue and allergies and...
Hello MeMaw, I too take it and haven't really had any problems. I started at 45mg I believe it was and am now up to 60. I also take an adrenal supplement. These two really helped a lot with energy. D...
Hello Razinsosick, First of all, Happy Birthday from August 1st. I'm sorry to hear how sick you've been. Magoo, Castlelady and Bootafraid have all given you very good advice here. I agree that having...
[i] Hello Jess, I too am familiar with IVIG and I feel that Zebra wrote you a good reply. I was able to get approval through my alternative doctor because I have Medicare. You may have another...
Hello Louise, I've actually been dealing with the same thing as you are these past couple of weeks. The only difference is, I spend time on the couch. (ha, ha ) That's because my tv is in the living...
Hello Jack DG, Thank you for this post. I was wondering if your doctor is in the U.S? Also, many doctors use Igenex and the Western Blot to test for Lyme. I was wondering why your doctor used these...
Thank you for this post Traveler. I hold the same sentiments as Lighterbeing about who should have access to my genetic profile. I've just finished spending a few days surfing the 23andme research...
Hello Taygeta, Thank you for your post. I read it today, not because I have this but because a family member may have it. She has 'parts of' what you write so it was very helpful for me to read so I...
Thank you for your post Terra Hawk, This is very helpful for me to hear. I was feeling really lousy this past Jan-Feb and was tested for Sibo which I have. On my own, I decided to take grains out of...
Hi PPIM, Someone listed a SIBO comment higher up on the list in the last few days. It was about medication which I wasn't familiar with. A very costly one. For me, when I stopped drinking coffee, it...
Hello Alyrose, You no doubt are feeling yucky because of the long trip yesterday. I, too, am sorry to read what you're going through and hope that your symptoms and life lighten up in a positive way...
