Thanks for the reply Girlie! I'd be glad to share what helped my son get over the Lyme. I'm pressed for time right now, so will come back here tonight with more details. But the short answer is he...
Hello! I used to come on here about three years ago so often, to look for answers, advice, and help for my son (then almost 4) with lyme. I'm so, so happy to say that since then, with treatments for...
Hello. My mom had thyroid testing done, Bc she seems to have many symptoms of hypothyroid. Her dr. said results the were "low, but not a problem". She's going to get a 2nd opinion from a Dr. in town...
Hi Traveler! Thank you for your reply! So true that these things take time. They're so complex. I suspect mold may be involved but don't know. Just from what I've read it seems to cause problems...
Thanks Peteza! I'll look at the site. I do like the Beyond Balance products too! I've seen the Lyme and bartonella ones do great things for him. I'm hoping that as we get up to dose with the Babesia...
Hello! It's been awhile since I've been around, but I have a question and so here I am. For those that may not remember and many new people I don't know, my son has been treating Lyme and...
Hello! doing a search brought me to this post here. I haven't been around the forum in a long time, since my son has been doing so much better. But even though he's much better, he's still not 100%...
am I right in thinking that as one infection is getting under control (becoming asymptomatic) that a co-infection that has always been there may now start showing symptoms, that weren't really...
anyone ever use Byron White formula for H. Pylori? My son is going to start taking his herbal A HP for it, and I have a question about dosing. I'll be asking the llmd on Monday too, but was curious...
I love hearing that rowing mom! I remember you've mentioned before that babesia treatment helped her get to symptom free, but to hear it again is very good! Good for your daughter of course, but also...
hi again, sorry I haven't had the chance to send the dr. info email. I'll try to do that now....
I know I had this question a couple of weeks ago already, but I never said thank you for your thoughts to those who replied! And, rowing mom, I do remember now that you said that your daughter ended...
yep, my son too. His symptoms are mostly down to being on the new moons and the full moons, for the most part. Interesting stuff…crappy, but interesting....
hi neighbor! I live in Bettendorf. My son has lyme (he's doing well now, but a few things left to get at) and his llmd is in Peoria, IL. She's a member of ILADS. This all started for us back in the...
dorifish 1, yes it is a closed group. One thing I like about Facebook, is quite often I notice I get faster replies to questions I post, since people have notices for fb on their phones, etc. And,...
yes, there are. I don't know their names, but I belong to a Facebook group called "PANDAS/PANS/Lyme/TickBorne-Diseases" and there are many people on there who would have good dr. recommendations for...
Hi again, back with another question. So, my son (5) is doing pretty well; not many symptoms left (been that way for awhile now). I'm still happy with his progress, but he just told me today that he...
hi again, thank you rowing mom for what you said too, and yes I agree with all of it too! regarding the astragalus, I'm not sure what I"ll do right now, b/c I would have said his bacterial load was...
thanks guys! yes, for sure I'll finish the one month dose, we're about three weeks into it now. But I might get him on that dose of astragalus that Buhner recommends for a "just in case", so maybe if...
some may remember that my son (5 years old and dealing with lyme and bartonella; doing well, but still some symptoms) had a possible tick bite about 3 weeks ago. I didn't see a tick, but he had a...
thank you for posting this. I have a juicer sitting on my counter and I never use it anymore. We got it when my son first started having symptoms, and we didn't know what was going on yet. We used it...
thank you guys for the replies and ideas Bellyfull, I actually have monolaurin here and will start giving it to him again. He took it everyday last year while on abx. He got so close to symptom free...
congratulations! What beautiful news!...
thanks for replying Bellyfull! I was wondering the same thing, about if strep was involved if maybe it's harder for lyme people to shake it off than for someone without lyme. I've heard dr. K say in...
does anyone have ideas of how to help find, get, relief of stomach/gut pain while treating. My son, using herbs for lyme and bart. has been having some more tummy pains lately. The llmd said we might...
I have wondered the same thing for my son (dealing with lyme and bart.) and someone told me that it takes time to figure that out. Time, b/c if it is herxing, and die-off, then eventually you would...
my son was on azithromycin for 10 weeks. That and amoxicillin at the same time; these both brought him to a really good place, and he tolerated them well. He was 4 at the time. I hope it goes well...
thank you Celeste15! I think I will go with the l-glutathione. I hear people like yourself and others say it has helped, and it's what son's llmd suggested, and since we're with her, I'll try that...
thank you Girlie I had never heard of the melatonin for detox either. Dr. K mentioned it in a talk from the autism one conference that took place recently in MN I think. Betterhealthguy posted the...
I'm wondering about opinions on the better supplement to use to help with detoxing. Son's llmd recommended (when I asked her about detox support/help) liposomal glutathione. I've read online (from...
lymefight and greenblue, you're welcome of course! when I read your post, lymefight, about examining every speck, being afraid, and not wanting to be outside, I could so relate. It helps to know...
hi lymefight, I can relate to that anxiety. My son was diagnosed with lyme in Jan. of 2014 (almost 4 at the time), after 3 1/2 months of bad symptoms and us trying to figure it all out. Since it was...
hi Traveler, thanks for your reply! Your so great at answering! I emailed his llmd a picture of the mark, and asked her opinion. She said that the herbs probably would help, but wants to put him on...
My son (who as you already know has been dealing with lyme and bartonella for over a year, and doing well, minus some new herxing as we increase his herbs) anyway, yesterday I saw a small, round, red...
I haven't read through all of the other replies and comments, but yes, I've heard and read that fluconazole can help with lyme too. I don't remember the science behind it, but I think there is some...
that's an interesting theory and maybe true. I'm no expert of course, but I can see how everyone being different results in different needs, etc. My son is on Beyond Balance for lyme and bartonella,...
Nosila, Thank you for mentioning the Thorne Vitamins. I may look into that. He hasn't been tested for any mutations, but I'm reading about it and considering looking into it. hi Rowingmom, thank you...
hi Noslia, thanks for your reply too! And, I agree, the Beyond Balance are potent, especially for the little guys, very true. yes, unfortunately some unresolved infection still. I knew as much, b/c...
thank you cd3764. That's reassuring to hear your experience to you. That's a good way to put it, that the herbs are hitting parts of the infection that the antibiotics couldn't reach. Yes, it...
anyone doing herbals (or even if not!) I'm looking for some opinions, thoughts etc. on the potency of herbs and herxing at low doses (when being close to symptom free). Ok, so my son has been doing...
I've heard of lyme brain fog a lot. My situation is different from others, b/c my son has had lyme, is doing great, but now I'm starting to think he got it from me. So, I don't really have lots of...
rowingmom, I meant to come back here earlier and write, but fell asleep on the couch. pure exhaustion from digging up/in the garden today. anyway, I wanted to say thanks again for your reply. It's...
yes, we love our Disney movies too! and Disney station. and you're welcome! also, Rowingmom, thank you for your thoughts too! When I've got more time tonight I'll come back, b/c I have a question...
lovemychildren mom I hope that you stay. I'm really sorry things haven't been good for your family. I think rowing mom and heather's dad would probably be the first to say (from knowing their...
and lovemychildren, sorry too about the toll it's taken on you. I have to get my son off to preK right now, so I can't get long here (like I so often do ;) ) but, I can relate to the marriage stuff...
Simela1 and lovemychildren thank you for your replies, yes, I do think she was trying to say "p-- or get off the pot". (I hate that expression!, so crude sorry!) but I think that's what she was...
hi all, can I vent here for a moment. my son had his latest llmd appt. last Monday. He's doing very well; went 4 weeks symptom free, and previous to that has had the last 3 months+ with only 4-5 days...
and... his foot this morning after school. :( In a real lyme typical place and way. Crap. Can I say crap here, b/c crap. man, 5 weeks it had been without symptoms! But you know what? I'm going to...
thanks Traveler for those kind words!! yeah, my feeling is it probably isn't lyme this time, (oh, I did miscalculate; it's been 5 weeks symptom free, but that's still good, b/c he was getting joint...
thank you achievinggrace! It's hard, but true I need to not stress out about it. The fact is I should be counting my blessings that he's 99.+% symptom free, and trust the rest will come with...
