Yep, there can probably be many different reasons and it is all specific to the person and individual case. Just important to not always assume it's yeast/fungal, as that's not the case for every...
Exana, I haven't come on here in a long time so it's strange that I did today and saw your post. I do not have any pelvic pain so I can't comment on that. However, constant burping was one of my...
Thank you! Any others?...
Bump...
Asking for a friend...are there any good llmds anywhere in Michigan?...
I just happened to see this post and let you know that I had (and still have) limbs go numb at night (specifically my hands and arms). I am pretty certain that for me this IS lyme-related. It never...
FYI...I saw Dr. B in Park Ridge also and he totally missed my Lyme even though I had a list of over 25 symptoms! He said nothing was wrong with me...was such a bad experience with him! Definitely...
Mister Mike...do you think it happened to you while your Lyme or Bart was flaring? This is new for me the last few months! It's bareable but still no fun......
Hi there! Anybody ever experienced (or heard of) getting random deep thigh pains because of Lyme or one of these infections? It comes and goes randomly, just feels like an intense deep thigh...
Or maybe Bartonella? I know GI issues are common with this. In my case, that's where my GI issues come from......
Hey Aly, Sorry I have no experience with Dr. H to share with you. How long have you been treating again? It hasn't been very long right, like a month or two? The only thing I can say (from what I...
I hope you can continue running and that it goes well for you. It's great you caught your infection so early! I was an avid runner before I got sick as well. I had just finished training and running...
What I've heard is that taking antibiotics prior to the Lyme test actually helps (it stimulates your body to produce antibodies and avoid a false negative) BUT Girle, you are right, you do need to be...
So far my experience has been good with him, and I know that many other people (who referred me to him) have had great experience with him. So, I'm working on the trust issue... I don't remember the...
Personally I think that looks suspicious. I never had a rash, but if I saw that on myself or somebody else I would definitely think it could be Lyme......
Hi there -- I tested Igenex & CDC positive for Lyme, but negative on the co-infections test. My LLMD has repeatedly told me I have Bartonella based on my symptoms, and that the negative test is not...
Margaret...weakness in legs is a Bart symptom? I never knew that! Ever since I got sick I've had major weakness in my legs especially noticeable when walking down stairs (and I have Bart). That's...
Yep! Lots of eyelid twitching for me (along with every other muscle in my body). Also have worsened blurry vision and floaters since I started getting sick....
Girlie...I think you can probably assume you have good gut health (unless you had reasons to believe). Not everybody is the same, and I think it's wrong to make blanket statements like "nobody with...
Healing98...yep, I will email you. I do think a fresh set of eyes would be good for you. I am sure some people have good experiences with Dr. B -- especially you because you had SO many symptoms of...
P.S. I see a wonderful LLMD with 30 years experience in Wisconsin (same LLMD as Alyrose). He really knows so much about Lyme & co-infections. And he is surprisingly much more affordable than Dr. B in...
Healing98, I'm glad you had a good experience. I had a terrible experience, and I'll share. I had been sick with tons of unexplainable symptoms for almost a year. I had seen all the typical...
That is who I had a terrible experience with......
Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend any LLMDs from the Chicagoland area (and that is from personal experience)....
I'm so sorry Margaret. Isn't it amazing the comfort though that your dog can bring you and how much we feel like we need them?...
Yes Fronton, take pictures whenever you can! Every time I see something that looks suspicious I grab my phone and take some pictures. I know that some people with Bart have those stretch marks that...
I am by no means an expert on this topic at all...but I thought Bartonella can cause all kinds of skin issues/rashes. I used to think it had to just be the scratches and stretch marks, but I've been...
What Traveler said is so true. For so long I used to think it was pointless to get tested for Lyme because I didn't have "flu-like symptoms" or "joint pain" (because I always saw that online). It's...
I don't have as much as I think many people do....
I DO! Nausea & GI issues were one of my very first symptoms. It was absolutely nothing else aside from Bartonella. Had every GI test done in the world, not diet related, no other issues. Also,...
I've had this (and other rashes, skin markings) show up just after hot showers. I told my LLMD about it and he said that happens because the heat stirs up the organisms/bacteria... It seems like a...
I'm really interested in this too. To be honest, I haven't exercised much the last year since I found out I have Lyme (well I take my dog for a lot of long walks so I guess that is technically...
I lost weight but have heard weight loss and gain can both happen. I was small to begin with...125 lbs and muscle--I was very athletic and in shape. I ended up at 105 and no matter what I did...
Sniogra -- I'm not the best at saying which symptoms are from which infection. I tested positive for Lyme and my LLMD diagnosed me with Bart based on my symptoms. He said I had many significant...
Sniogra -- I understand how you feel. I treated only Lyme for about 7 months, and didn't make any improvement (except that I was finally able to gain some of the weight back that I lost). My LLMD...
Awesome!...
I also see Dr. H in Waupaca, WI. For a few months while trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I saw a "LLMD" in Park Ridge, IL. I put that term in quotations because that is what he refers to...
In my opinion there aren't any in IL that are truly worth going to. Going into WI is a better idea......
Dancingbear -- I like your post. It's sort of like what I'm going through right now. I (like everyone else here) went from doctor to doctor, and test after test. Every test came back normal, and...
Aly, you really should be totally open and honest about your fears and concerns with the doc. He will understand and not judge you, and hopefully he will be able to help put your mind at ease and...
Catch scooter is the bactrim helping you so far??...
Aly I'm sorry you're feeling so worried...it's natural. I've been a nervous worried wreck for months now. It's difficult. Let me know if you want to talk!...
Yes so weird how lyme cycles. However I do have some symptoms that are consistently daily no matter what but I'm pretty sure those are some of my Bart symptoms. Did you have any symptoms that didn't...
I've gotten these in and off since the beginning (more in my core area). I literally used to think my cell phone was vibrating in my pocket and then realized I didn't even have my phone with me! Dr....
I forgot to mention a couple other things. Nausea has been a big consistent symptom for me since getting sick (but actually has never led to throwing up). Recently there was a day where the nausea...
Girlie...started treating Bart 3 months ago. But the first 1.5 month was slow and gradually working up. Then 1.5 month ago my doctor increased the meds....
So I never have noticeable or major "herxes". Lately though since starting to target Bart, I've noticed some very subtle changes. I've had some new kinds of rashes come and go. I've also had mildly...
Thanks candleinthewind for sharing your experience. It's really helpful. So did you try a few things without much progress and symptoms still persisted...then you finally found the right combo for...
I'm not sure. I don't have my next appointment scheduled, we were going to touch base on the phone and then I was going to schedule. I just called and left a message to talk with him though....
Ok...that makes me feel a little better. I've just been so worried that only some of my symptoms have improved and not ALL. I don't know what I should be expecting and in what timeframe......
