@gfields, could you please email me his name? and thank you, @tickbite666... I've passed on the info you sent! :)...
I'm asking for a friend... anyone know of a lyme literate doc in the Boston area? She is looking for her 7 year old daughter... thanks in advance!!!...
Not sure about the nerve testing, but I've had the EMG and even a muscle biopsy. I survived both, although neither were all that pleasant. But for starters, I'm sure they will do simple CPK levels......
My LLPA works with Dr. J. a couple of weeks out of the month... and was also treated by him during her own Lyme battle. So we are using a very similar protocol. Monday, Wednesday, Friday (right now...
Got it, Nosila!!! Thank you!!!!...
I'm asking for two different relatives.... does anyone know of any LLMDs in the White River Junction, VT/Hanover, NH area and/or the Bloomington, IN area? Please message me!...
tomorrow we're upping the ante and I'm starting a new phase of my treatment.... what are folks' experiences with Mepron, Artemisinin, and/or Enula? Feeling nervous... :smhair:...
I pulse.... I take antibiotics on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with two weeks on, one week off. Too early to tell if it's THE way to go, but I believe in my doc and her protocol.......
I'm really struggling. Started off this week with a bang with upping my doses of Ceftin and Bactrim.... had some nausea that eventually passed, but started herxing right away... it seems my typical...
and no... the severity of a herx does not reflect at all whether or not your treatment is working.... :)...
I think what you're experiencing is a mild herx from what I've learned from others here. And that's a GOOD thing... it means that all that detoxing you're doing is working! I'm sure how a herx...
Hey folks... Thought I'd check in with everyone, as I'm finishing up my second treatment week. We took last week off due to tummy issues... turns out it's the azithromycin that was causing all that,...
YAY! the heating pad works every time for me! :)...
Muscle cramping was one of my first symptoms.... they appeared mostly in my thighs, my upper arms, and my feet... I did have a couple of the abdominal ones also, and a couple actually in my tongue!...
Before I ask this, let me just say I know I'm thinking too much and trying to do everything way too perfectly.... I'm rebeginning treatment tomorrow, and just want to get it as right as possible. I'm...
oh, and the Myers Drip is magnesium and calcium and B vitamins... very often vitamin C is also included, but not where I go. :)...
Sorry it took me a little while to respond- busy week! ... the probiotic I'm taking is Custom Probiotics 6 Strain Powder... it's pricey, but so far, it's worth every penny!!!! :)...
After not writing here for a while, I'm happy to report that after weeks and weeks of stomach issues, my LLPA put me on a new probiotic, and that stuff is miraculous. I was back to normal instantly,...
I have magnesium & sometimes myers IVs every week or so, and have tricky veins as well. A heating pad placed on your arm for 10-15 minutes before sticking does WONDERS. And I like to keep it on there...
I am soooo tired tonight. And cranky as all get out. I have noticed, however, that there's a pattern to this. I mean, the physical exhaustion has always been a no-brainer... but the "emotional"...
I wasn't suggesting that the magnesium would kill the lyme... I'm wondering if would, however, make the Flagyl more effective than it was at killing the lyme... hmmmmm.... but I didn't know that too...
So since my body responded so well to the Flagyl after last week's scary diarrhea episode, my LLMD thinks it must have been C. diff... and now I'll be taking it for 10 more days, and then we'll pulse...
I'm taking it right now to treat c. diff, but it's also causing me to herx, as it does kill lyme in its cyst form....
Thank you so much for the replies and concern.... Shortly after I started this thread, I developed a fever.... so at that point, with Labcorp closed for the weekend, my practitioner suggested we go...
if you're looking for a good substitute, I have found this stuff... and oh. my. goodness. it's good. I like the maple caramel flavor (it has no added oils, and only a little maple powder adding...
Well, I started to feel better, and my bowel movements were normalizing. But tonight, the diarrhea's back and I have chills.... Sigh. While my practitioner thinks it's unlikely that it's c diff after...
Well, my tummy is definitely better.... and my practitioner is suggesting that we try again on Monday, as long as I have normal bowel movements by then. She said that if diarrhea comes up again,...
Thank you for all of the replies... Yes, I am taking a very good probiotic AND probiotic yeast as well. At first, I was convinced that we were jumping the gun by stopping the antibiotics. But my...
Hey ya'll... I started my antibiotic treatment yesterday.... omnicef + azithromycin + minocin (1 day on, 1 day off for two weeks, and every third week off altogether). So today was an "off" day. This...
Just back from my appointment with my practitioner, and we are ready to begin the "induction" phase of my treatment! I came home with 7 prescription orders. Three of these are antibiotics (omnicef,...
Thank you sooooo much for the warm welcome!!!! This is making tomorrow's appointment to begin treatment so much less scary. :)...
I am on quite a few supplements (some herbal) and hormones to boost different things lacking in my body, and I have been cutting out sugar and down on carbs.... which admittedly I've been quite...
I'm following this, as my doc works under Dr. J, and uses a similar protocol. I will starting treatment on Friday, and am quite nervous!...
yep, I have a good LLMD, and will be starting my treatment this Friday! I'm pretty nervous about it, but at the same time, anxious to get the ball rolling.......
Hiya Dave... I can relate to much of what you say... I did my first triathlon in 2012, but have declined over the last couple of years... the not being active is the hardest part of all of this for...
hello... I feel truly lucky to have found this group, as many I have sought out are just not very active, and there are times I feel so alone in this. I'm Lisa, I am 44 years old, and I was recently...
