Hello everyone (sorry for posting so many questions esp to Traveler and Pirouette) I've got a rash and my LLMD has put me on 25mg of Prednisone a day for a week and then he plans to wean me off...
Ah that makes total sense. Yeah since I've started Diflucan I've been feeling so dumb, headachey and just crap! And my skin's suffering too :( I hope you get better soon, maybe do the candida diet...
Hi, I've had this rash for a little over 2 months and it's absolutely driving me insane. I also have Lyme disease + co and my doctor thinks it's a fungal rash. http://imgur.com/a/4VR0a#4 That was...
Hi Traveler, honestly I've looked into it before I chose my current LLMD and there are barely any :( And like I said I'm really tight on money too so maybe I will just rest... Thanks for those links...
I will ask him what he thinks next time I see him. He hasn't officially said he won't treat me, it's just what I've gathered from the things he's said so far. And honestly I don't know if that's an...
Yeah I realised :( I'm going to ask him to put me back on until all my symptoms are gone. It seems like tinnitus will be the last symptom to go as it hasn't changed at all since the beginning. Not...
I was on Abx (plaquenil and azithromycin I think ) for babesia for 1 month and then I switched to rifampicin and ciproxin for bartonella for a few weeks. I was getting bad chest pain, and it hasn't...
Hi guys! I've had Lyme, Mycoplasma, Rickettsia, suspected Babesia & Bartonella for 1.5 years, treated for 7 months. I've come off abx for about 1.5 months due to a rash all over my body which seems...
It doesn't feel as inflamed today.. but My LLMD said I could go back on a low sugar diet so I was stupid and ate chocolate and indulged quite a bit. He made it sound very superficial so I was so...
I'm defs going to look into it. And maybe the tea too! Thanks for your reply <3 Hm yes I have used coconut oil! It only made it feel more..moist? And itchy. I think I have read a few of her posts! I...
Thanks so much for your reply Traveler. Seeing you reply always makes me a lil happier :) Did your rash ever go away? I tried making a paste of oatmeal a few days ago. It helped while it was on but...
Hi everyone.. I posted a few weeks ago about a rash and it's around the 4 week mark now and it's so much worse. I've been losing a lot of sleep at night. I sleep for 2 hours, wake up and don't sleep...
I'm going to call him now. I have about 1.5 weeks until my next appointment but I don't think I can hang on any longer :( I'm going to scratch my skin off! Thanks for your reply hun <3...
Hi everyone, I'm currently being treated for suspected Bartonella with Ciproxin and Rifampicin and have been taking this for about 5 - 6 weeks. I've also been diagnosed with Lyme, myco, rickettsia...
Hello everyone, I'm currently diagnosed (1.5 years sick) with Lyme, confirmed rickettsia & mycoplasma and unconfirmed Babesia and Bartonella. I started taking Ciproxin and Rifampicin 5 weeks ago for...
I'm terrified, but at the same time I think I need to do it..I've been so scared to do anything for 1.5 years and I feel like this will push me waaaay out of my comfort zone. I need to start looking...
Hi guys, I've been sick for 1.5 years and treating suspected Bartonella at the moment. My main symptom anxiety got better for a bit but then today I was walking to the pharmacy and it came back! It...
Hmm are we supposed to do a protocol on our own? Or do we ask our doctor for help? Because I'm already taking abx Thanks <3 Hi Girlie, I'm actually feeling a lot better compared to when I first...
I can't wait! I'm not angry anymore.. I was a few months ago but I just learned to accept it and I feel much better. I asked my doctor about herbals and he said he only uses them to treat patients...
Helloo, I've been sick for 1.5 years, and being treated with antibiotics for around 6 months. I'm officially diagnosed (positive test) with Mycoplasma and Rickettsia but my doc has also diagnosed me...
I'm trying so hard to resist sugar...aghhhh. But I will stick to it to see if it gets better. And I'll try some grapefruit seed extract too :) Lighterbeing, yes I will definitely ask to get them...
Haha I actually was wondering why different symptoms showed up when old ones disappear. Thanks for answering the mystery. Yes I want to cry right now. So many layers! I don't have any idea what to...
Hi Traveler, thanks for your reply. Yes I'm sure. I have eczema and scratch myself every day but I never get anything like that. And I don't own any animals either. Oh my another Co infection? I'm...
Hellooo everyone, I've been sick with Lyme, Mycoplasma and Rickettsia for 1 year 4 months, and on treatment for 6 months. 1 month ago my doctor took me off Lyme treatment because he thinks it's...
My doc said to me Babs and Bartonella wasn't able to be tested here so he must have considered it? But he probably thought my symptoms fit more into Babesia.. I'm not 100% sure. I want to ask him...
Hi!! Thank you all for your reply. No he said I had Lyme even though it showed up as negative in the PCR test but my symptoms show that I do have it. He said that now he feels like he's been...
Hi all, I went to see my LLMD yesterday and he thinks my lyme is gone because I've been on antibiotics for 6 months. I got better and then worse again after the flu. Since we can't test for babesia...
6 weeks?! Oh my gosh that's crazy.. Yes that's what I think too :( I hope you both feel better soon!...
Hellooo everyone :) I started getting the flu exactly a week ago..with symptoms being MASSIVE headache, runny rose, sneezing, watery & swollen eyes, sore throat. No fever. These all went away by...
Yes a bullseye rash definitely means it's Lyme! I was in your boat 2 years ago.. I had a bullseye rash with no symptoms and went to a GP and asked for antibiotics but was refused because Lyme "didn't...
Hmm I remember using shea butter a while ago for a body moisturiser but it felt greasy..tbh I like my skin feeling dry but now it's too dry so may have to give another ago. Ooh I think i'm going to...
Is your psoriasis better now? Yeah I found it weird that my LLMD asked if I wanted a stronger cream. I said no but now I'm thinking about it. Thank you for your reply <3 Hello, thanks so much for...
Hey guys, Over my lifetime I've always had mild eczema on and off and I usually use steroid creams to make it go away and keep moisturised to prevent it. I've had lyme, mycoplasma and rickettsia for...
Hey all, Sorry if I don't type this correctly as I'm typing with eyes closed at the moment. I've been on antibiotics for 2 months and I've seen a big improvement in my anxiety which was the main...
Hey everyone, What's your experience with Biaxin? I took it for the first time on Tuesday (750mg dose in 1 day) and I started getting a really bitter taste in my mouth.. Within hours, I was...
Ahh I'm such an idiot. I'll make sure to do that from now on! Waking up in the middle of the night with nausea's always been a symptom of mine..I've had it for a whole year now. It's just that one...
Yes I'm taking a probiotic every day with my morning dose. I'll definitely look into the enzymes :) thanks! Ah okay, that's a relief to hear. Are you feeling much better now? No I'm from australia....
Hi all, I started treatment on the 24th of November 2014. Before that, I took doxy for 6 weeks because I was waiting for my blood results to come back. The gas and bloating is getting quite...
I had a bullseye rash on my ankle with the perfectly circular ring about 2cm in diameter. It lasted for 3 weeks and the middle part also got infected and blistered. I went to the doctor but he said...
Hey the tests I got were PCR tests...
Thanks for your reply :) that makes sense! Yeah he explains everything really well... its just so expensive to see him thouguh :(...
Hi guys, I got my results back! I'm positive for mycoplasma and rickettsia but negative for Lyme. My doctor thinks there's a high chance the Lyme test was a false negative though.. I'm a bit...
Thanks for your reply. I've been with my partner for a year and I've also been sick for a year so I'm afraid it might be too late for that :( So worried...
Hi everyone, My test results just came back and I'm positive for Mycoplasma and Rickettsia. Negative for Lyme but the doctor is treating me anyway as he thinks it was a false negative. Anyway my...
Thank you :) yeah it kind of feels never-ending right now but hopefully I can start treatment soon! I honestly don't get why doctors won't prescribe a short course of antibiotics or why it has to be...
Oh.. I've been sick for a year. I got bitten a year and a half ago :( It's just I'm sooo anxious waiting for the results to come back! I asked for antibiotics when I first got bitten and got...
Hmm yeah apparently it doesn't exist in Australia so that's probably why he said ringworm. Hey, that's what my doc said too.. and then gave me fungal cream which didn't help at all......
Thanks for the replies everyone :) Traveler, I did show him this picture! And told him all my symptoms and he sent me off to do a $1000 test... And won't treat me further if i didn't do it...
Hi guys, I'm still waiting for my Lyme test to come back but my doc already started me on antibiotics just in case I do test positive. I'm just wondering though, for anyone that had a bullseye rash,...
Hi guys, I've been tested for Lyme but it'll take 6 weeks for the results to come back.. In the meantime, my doctor put me on 100mg Doxycycline for 2 weeks and then increase to 200mg a day. I'm so...
