I'm using 432 for Lyme and I believe 832 for Bartonella. I hadn't coiled for 10 days so today I tried to lower the amps to 7 instead of 14 for one minute. I will see how I feel later. Not sure if 7...
Hi- I know this thread is a few months old, but I purchased a Doug Coil and started coiling several weeks ago. I only started at a minute each session, but each time I coil the next day I am in so...
Wondering if you had any resolution to the joint pain. I started Banderol 5 weeks ago and worked my self up from 1 drop to 9 drops and after 3 weeks I woke up with intense joint, muscle, bone and...
I have been drinking approx 2 liters of lemon water each day and do a couple epsom salt baths a week. I also took activated charcoal once last week. It was a little tough because I was told not to...
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It sounds like you have had more than your share of trials and tribulations with Lyme and med regimes. I agree it appears to be very difficult to distinguish...
Wow, I never thought of an anaphylactic response but it is definitely possible. I was having similar “heat attacks” In my head and neck that would last for hours when my LLMD had me on Biaxin. She...
Hi Pirouette- Thank you for responding. I am not glad you have experienced this, but glad only that someone else knows what I am talking about. It's weird when I get the burning sensations I...
Hi Pirouette- Thanks for responding. I haven't taken any antibiotics this weekend and the symptoms are starting to clear. I spoke to the doctors office, they said to take a break from the antibiotics...
I know this is an older thread, but was wondering if you had any resolution with the anxiety and Rocephin as I seem to be having a similar reaction. Severe anxiety and panic attacks out of the blue...
I don't know if you ever found someone but my LLMD recommended a retinal specialist in NJ who has some experience with Lyme patients....
Hi April. Thanks for your post. It's nice to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I started seeing Dr F in early June. I have my second appointment scheduled for early August. She seems...
I know this is an older thread but I noticed someone mentioned Argentyn 23. I sprayed some in my eyes this morning to see if it would help with the floaters and it's 8 hours later and I feel like I...
I know this is an old thread, but was wondering if Chadwick ever found out what was wrong. I have a similar situation, have seen several docs and nobody seems to be helping. Brain fog is my worst...
Hi Tu Wang- Yes, when I took the Melatonin I had lots of vivid dreams too, but I have never had a problem sleeping. If I feel the GERD is mild, I will sometimes let a small amount of the Coconut oil...
Yes, ACV is something that seems to help me too. Although I don't take it straight up. I usually try to have a salad with whatever I am eating for lunch and use Olive oil and ACV with a bit of pink...
If anyone is interested, there is a Facebook Group called GERD/Acid Reflux with about 8000 members....
Hi Andy- I would say it took almost 6 months before things started to get better. Again, I think diet and repopulating your gut with healthy bacteria plays a roll. How was your stomach before the...
Tu- A couple things I can share that I believe have made a difference is eating foods that have beneficial bacteria. I believe that the antibiotics had destroyed the entire flora of my stomach. I...
Hi Andy- In the beginning I thought I would never feel better again. The whole ordeal was very scary to say the least. For most of my life I have been able to eat whatever I wanted and never had any...
Hi Tu- My GERD was also triggered by antibiotics. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and went to a Lyme specialist who put me on several forms of Doxycycline for around 3 months. From the beginning I...
Wishing you the best Tu!...
I finished the course of Melatonin and think it may have helped somewhat. I actually repeated it again over during the summer. However, the biggest improvement came about a month ago when I changed...
No. He has other health issues so I don't think he's a candidate for a transplant. What types of programs are you referring to that he should get involved with? Thanks....
Thanks...He has a nephrologist that he sees regularly. He has to go for regular blood tests to monitor any changes in his Creatine levels. They also said he should be on a low protein, low salt diet....
Thanks Eat2bwell. I have been doing some reading online, but I haven't really come across anyone who has had firsthand experience. I thought this might be a good place to ask....
My Husband is diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. His creatine has been steady for the past couple years around 2.6, but his last blood test shows it jumped to 3. Has anyone had any success with...
Just wanted to post an update. It has been about 4 1/2 months now since my GERD hit. Between my modified diet and supplements, today I feel I am about 90% better. I think the problem for me was/is...
Hi- I was having problems digesting all types of breads, grains...etc and pretty much cut them out of my diet which made a world of difference. Just a suggestion, but maybe try eliminating all grains...
I am on my 3rd week of taking 3mg of Melatonin at night. My Gerd is very much improved, not 100% gone but I'm going to stay the course and see how it goes. At this point I would recommend others to...
I have had terrible Gerd symptoms for the past 6 weeks. This followed a 2 1/2 month course of Doxycycline. I have tried dozens of naturL remedies so far including probiotics, DGL licorice, mastica,...
Just wanted to post an update. I went to see the LLMD and was put on one form of Doxycycline or another for about 2 1/2 months. I had to stop due to it causing horrible stomach and esophagus damage....
Hi All. It's been about 6 weeks and it has been up and down hill with my Gerd symptoms. Last week I was doing very well and for unknown reasons my symptoms have gotten a bit worse again. I was...
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/717460_5 I found this article and looked up a few of the studies. They all sound very promising but it appears you need to stay on the Melatonin for 8 weeks for it...
Thanks Andy- I haven't had a problem with the Mastic Gum. Actually for me I think it is one of the things that is helping most. I only take it on an empty stomach and have to make sure I drink plenty...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I did stop taking the Carafate because after only a couple days I didn't notice any benefit and instead thought it could have possibly been irritating my stomach...
I developed bad reflux and esophagus problems after 2 1/2 months of being on doxycycline. I Have been suffering with these issues for a month now. The first couple weeks I only ate steamed chicken...
Thanks all...I didn't realize my email was disabled. I changed my setting so now I should be able to get emails. Thanks in advance!...
Hi- I was recently diagnosed with Lyme and need to find a local LLMD in the Northern NJ area. Right now my primary care doc is treating me with homeopathic methods and I have an appointment today...
Hi Traveler- Thank you for the welcome! I don't have an ILADS trained Lyme doc (thanks for the advice) I will look into that. My primary care doc focuses on natural treatments & is the one who just...
Hi All- I am in NJ and was just diagnosed with Lyme last week. My doctor says I must have had it a while. My worst complaint is the brain fog which is horrible, lately it just doesn't seem to go...
