In Triad/NC region?...
Hi folks. This my first time in the BiPolar section; I've been spending time in the Lyme forum. I have found so far that those in the forums are very helpful and knowledgeable, and I'm hoping to find...
I never had shingles until two years ago, very specific spot (breast) 3" x 3". I am 56, contracted Lyme 3 years ago. Last year it happened again, same spot, same size. Has anyone had an experience...
Girlie, I'm not sure if i need to prove it, and need to find out as I want to be as armed as possible before I deteriorate any more. NC would rather provide SSD to drug addicts, alcoholics and the...
I probably missed this somewhere, but, aside from us knowing ourselves, and our minds, and knowing something is wrong-- that the Lyme is indeed in our cns, how can it be tested for documentation and...
Good question, Toronto_M. One neurologist told me that the lesions/shadows on my brain from MRI are inconclusive for Lyme; they could be MS, or something else. She recommended a spinal tap to find...
Hey all. As many of you probably are too, or have been, tired of going to specialists and being told, "Let's do a test for this, or that. I really need an LLMD at this point! I live in North...
Whew. I thought for a bit that I had just become a hypochondriac. Girlie, I do need to find a LLMD, I'll post that again. Y'all make sense. It seems at this point all I've been doing is going from...
positive for IgG p41 and IgM 39 in October 2013 by another physician. I contracted in April 2012, after which I had no rash but started having a host of gradually building symptoms. I had blood drawn...
Breakfast . . . yummy when I can eat it. Oatmeal with a little butter and raw honey; organic granola with nuts and pumpkin seeds mixed with organic yogurt, maybe a little honey; what I call "grits...
I live near Greensboro NC, not far from Winston-Salem (Wake Forest Baptist Hospital) and am looking for a reliable and affordable LLMD. If anyone knows of any I will certainly travel! Thank you in...
sarahm620, Thank you for the suggestion. It's a great idea, and the blog is very helpful. I didn't realize that cycles could have such disparity . . . felt so good I wanted to think I was over it....
Hey, all. I've had chronic Lyme for 3 years (contracted it in April 2012--check your bellybuttons!) and for most of this year (2015) have had the worst rounds yet. During the last streak I was so...
Do any of you have days where all of a sudden you feel great? Been having a lot of what I think has been herxing (or just the little buggers having a feeding frenzy), then WHAM! Woke up today feeling...
sarahm620, Nausea and vomiting are awful. I've had tons of it, lost 40 lbs. in past few months, too. :-( Ginger tea can help a lot, if you can take the "heat"--you can get used to it. Kinda spicy....
That's a great one, too, Deejavu....
Found this thread here on HW forum from January of this year (2015) Maybe helpful? http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3294775...
Thanks all for the positive reminders. :-)...
Pirouette, Thank you for such helpful information. It's good to hear that there are other ways of diagnosing whether Lyme has reached CNS than a spinal tap--just the thought of it is pretty scary....
Jackdg: from what my neurologists have told me, the most reliable way to pin down if it's actually in the CNS is by a spinal tap. They said it's not as bad as it sounds, but I'll let y'all...
As I thought, others would chime in with more experience and knowledge re CBD, or cannabidiol. (not sp. cannabidoil) I recommended Amazon; what I found interesting when I looked at the cbd oils...
Quick response, Lighterbeing: if I can order it just fine from Amazon to North Carolina, I'd say anyone can. Little to no THC. :-)...
I have researched hemp, marijuana, the oils, etc., but when I started writing this post realized that I'm probably just sharing what others on this forum probably know more about, so I decided not to...
I was really sick for two weeks--it was like a very evil intestinal bug. It was the kind where you don't know which end to put to the commode! I had it for a week, went back to work (high-pressure...
Deejavu We NEED things that make us laugh! Thank you for the levity!...
That is great news, Traveler. Your positive and giving spirit has kept you going, others going, and now you've shown us there is hope! Thanks so much for sharing so much!!!! You rock!...
It seems that things are just coming waves of tests constantly, doesn't it? Having your money stolen is horrendous. Have you talked with your bank? Do they have any guidelines to recover? They...
Same here. Up and down. Working on my feet everyday makes for more fatigue, as soon as I get home I'm on the sofa....
Hey fellow warrior Lymies, To begin, I aplogize for the length of this posting but I thought maybe the more details the more likely someone may have some insight. Many of you have suffered from Lyme...
Hey all, We sure are a strong bunch. It takes a lot of fear or terror of not being able to make a living, lose everything, becoming homeless that drives me to stay in an intense, demanding retail job...
Hey, FlossieUK and all, it's so comforting to hear confirmation that others have these exact same symptoms and so many more, but specifically not finding things right in front of me (will probably...
Hey all, To begin, sorry for unloading like this. ANd for my poor writing. Can anyone recommend something for acid in stomach or whatever it is? I have been vomiting an average of 3 to 5 times a day,...
I had an MRI this week and it showed positive for Lyme. I had thought so much from symptoms, and am working on documentation every step of the way. This is kinda scary, even though i've read the...
One piece of VERY important advice: I "hired" a disability expert attorney, and discovered in the hearing with the judge that he was completely incompetent. Did not have complete information, had not...
Sailorkim, I want to apologize for "hijacking" your thread. I realized that all I did was talk about my weight loss, which I though might be helpful but after mulling it over realized it was your...
mauihawaii, I am on my feet constantly for 8 to 10 hours a day in a very active retail environment, so I would say it isn't associated with too much sitting for me, anyway. :-} It seemed to start...
Although I contracted Lyme in April 2012, I didn't start losing weight until November of 2013. I have gone from 175 (when my thyroid went out eight years ago I went from lifetime 135 to 208) to 142-3...
I've lived with this for almost a year now; it hurts badly in the wee hours, and when I sit down. It's now affecting my hip and knee joint for the past few months to the point that when I stand, it...
Thanks, flower girl. I've considered the Center, it's less than two hours from me, but the cost is prohibitive. I will have to check and we what if any my insurance covers!...
Funny you say that, itsnotjustlyme, as I have hypothyroidism. Also, green veggies which are good !or Lyme aren't good for hypothyroidism. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Don't need to lose...
Frank, I tried it for a month or so and felt no better, but I would imagine it would take longer to see any results. I just couldn't afford it any more....
Thanks, girlie, I had not hit the SUBMIT button! My brain . . . lol...
Thank you, girlie. I have rectified the email issue, had not realized it. I've been looking fror a forum like this!...
Hey folks. Sorry this is so long. I will have had Lyme for 3 years this April. First couple of months I had no idea where all these strange symptoms were coming from; after UNC found nothing I spent...
Crodentia, you sound like such a brave survivor who has worked very hard to maintain a positive and meaningful approach to life, along with maintaining your sense of humor!!! Living in Colorado with...
Hey Happy Turtle, Thanks for the welcome! I'm so glad to hear you and your lady are working to have a successful relationship . . . it can be so very challenging. I get to see my Ranger maybe two...
Hi folks. Glad I found your forum. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II when I checked myself into hospital in 2001; took Lithium for years, and changed to Lamictal december 2011. It has been a wonderful...
