A friend of mine has gained awareness about LD since my daughter started treatment for it in June. Oh July 9th her daughter was bit on her leg (by something, unknown). Today (13 days later) the bite...
Thanks Traveler! I have been playing phone tag with LLND's in Uxbridge, ON and one in Richmondhill, ON. Hopefully I can speak to someone this week. How do those clinics work? You just make an...
I did read the posts. However, where I live (Ontario, Canada) it is very difficult to get treatment without a positive blood test. Even when her blood test came back negative pediatrician wanted me...
The testing where I am isn't accurate to begin with, unfortunately. But, I was wondering what the timeline is like for getting the antibiotics out of her system and how long for antibodies to build...
My 3 year old daughter began treatment for LD on June 6, 2015. She was prescribed 3 weeks of 750mg/day of amox (split into 3 doses). She has been off the medication (but still taking her reg vitamins...
Hi Daddylonglegs, From my understanding they don't prescribe children doxy... my daughter is going on day 6 of amox + probiotics and grapefruit extract. My daughters white cell blood test also came...
In my 3yo daughters case, I noticed her "bullseye" 11 days after the bite. Her symptoms leading up was mostly body pain, headaches, and red swollen tonsils. 5 days into treatment: bullseye gone and...
My daughters EM rash was only present for 5 days and her symptoms (neck pain, feet pain, headaches) are going away... on day 5 of Lyme treatment but continuing for 3-6 weeks. Rather be safe than...
I am wondering if anyone can help me make sense of my DD (age 3, 30lbs) blood test results drawn the day before they started amox treatment for LD... whole blood test (reg not LD one) was normal...
My husband and I bought our beautiful home in the country before having our daughter for the fact that it did have a lot of trees for privacy (and lots of fruit bearing), the river we can hear 24/7,...
Treat him. Rather safe than sorry. However, I am not a VET here and I am just very vigorously learning about LD (3yo daughter was just diagnosed with Lyme 4 days ago). You've come to the right place,...
I have a hard time giving myself or my family basic Tylenol and Advil on a regular day (I prefer homeopathic) - so the initial thought of medication & for such a long period of time is something I am...
Sigh. I didn't even leave the house for anything but doctor appointments for three days. What stage of LD were you at when diagnosed? My daughter is 3 and they believe still in stage 1 (bullseye rash...
This isn't about medication, treatments or symptoms. It's about an aftermath of getting the diagnosis... something I never expected. I have lived in fear since my daughter started treatment for LD....
Thanks Girlie! We had another doctor appointment yesterday and her dose was raised to 700mg/day for 21 days. Then we will have another appointment with our family doctor around the 2.5 mark (and...
Thanks for the helpful information GreenBlue! Do you suggest a specific probiotic? How long has your son been on ammox? Yes, I am trying to educate myself... What a great community of helpful people...
Hi BarnGurl, Thanks for your response. Doctor just upped her dose to 700mg/day for 21 days (she's 3, 30lbs). How old is your child? What stage were they at when treatment started? And what has...
There is a local chiropractor that was very ill from LD... I booked tomorrow off work so I can have a meeting with him - I have heard from the community that he is very well educated and is always...
I saw a another doctor today... he stated that the only other possibility of the rash could be eczema... which as of today her rash does kind of look eczema like. However, the timeline of pictures up...
Thank-you for your response. As you can tell I am really just learning about all this and I am in a severe state of worry. I am going to another doctor to try and have her med topped up from...
She's on amoxicillin 600mg/day... Sore neck and visible bullseye rash on the back of her hand. Low appetite. Headaches. Praying the medication works......
Thank-you for your responses... I am truly a basket case these couple of days. I live in Ontario, and all I have been able to find is a doctor within four hours of me that does the igenex test....
Is this lifelong for her now or can it be cured (if treated in early stage)?! Also, thank-you for your response. I have spent the last two days pacing back and forth and trying to educate myself......
My young daughter started treatment for Lyme disease today. On May 25th I noticed a swollen bite on her hand (no tick) . On the 11th day a red large bullseye appeared around it. For several days she...
