UPDATE: Had my appointment with the neurologist yesterday. This was my first time seeing one and have waited a year for this appointment. He diagnosed me with "Silent Migraines" (Acephalgic...
Hi everyone, Today I saw a neurologist for the first time and he diagnosed me with silent migraines. I've been waiting almost a year to get in to see this neurologist and finally had my appointment...
Yes, we checked for mold in the house by doing an air quality test. The results came back moderate for upstairs and heavy for the basement. We believe we found the mold that made the test result go...
I've been getting B12 shots from my LLND since July, when I began my Lyme treatment. My levels were 244 before starting the shots and my family doctor checked my levels for the first time since, last...
Georgia Hunter - is Costochondritis caused by Lyme Disease or just a separate condition? I think Costochondritis is what my daughter is experiencing....
Ok, so the only difference really is that the ascorbic acid could be a little hard on your tummy, therefor if that is the case you should take the ascorbate kind? That's my understanding anyways from...
Thanks everyone. Traveler, I really do not do enough for detoxing. The only thing I do right for detoxing is taking burbur + pinella everyday. I don't do daily Epsom salt baths, lucky if I do one in...
Does it matter which form you take? My LLND has me on Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) but people on the Lyme group on FB are saying ascorbate is better to take. One person said " Absorbic acid really is...
Last Monday I ran out of Samento & Banderol, as well as omega 3 fish oil, and haven't had the funds to pick up more. It's been a week now of not taking Samento & Banderol (started treatment in...
I've been taking a Vitamin Mineral Supplement since July that my LLND prescribed me to take when I started treating my Lyme. I've been taking it once a day and it is GENESTRA BRANDS called...
So is it a good thing then?...
Yes I'm taking probiotics once a day and it is the kind that needs to be keep in the fridge from my LLND....
I was wondering if my face is breaking out because of my treatment? I'm 5 months into my Lyme treatment (however, still haven't gotten to my max dosage of my herbal antibiotics. Working up slowly.)...
Yes, this is my main symptoms of Lyme Disease. I've had this symptom for 5 1/2 years now. Many doctor tests etc was told I felt like this because I'm a busy mom and it's "anxiety", for 5 years by...
Yeah I know I really need to do more detox. Need to start my detox baths again. I think going back to herbs once a day is a good idea. I felt better and noticed some improvements then. Once a day is...
Is it normal to be stuck at 14 drops of Samento and Banderol in the AM and PM and not increasing for a month or more because of symptoms? When I was under 10 drops, probably around 6 or 8, my...
I thought it was a myth that stress can cause grey hair? I have definitely been under a lot of stress... for most of my 20s if not all of them. I'm 27 now....
Thanks for the info CD. I'm due for a checkup with my family doctor sometime in Jan or Feb and I'll ask to have my full thyroid checked (Free T4 and Free T3) to be sure my thyroid is in check. I had...
Really? Maybe I should mention to my LLND about the grey hair I have. Plus my other post I made about the hair loss. She knows I have hair loss but not about the grey hair. They could still be both...
My TSH or whatever its called has been great and checked numerous times over the last 5 years with routine blood work trying to figure out what was wrong with me... then found out it is Lyme with...
Could a mould issue also cause this to happen?...
Wow... so it really is a lyme related thing? Does anyone have any info I can read up on about this? Do you know if once I get Lyme under control it will reverse itself?...
Sorry can't make the link clickable.......
I don't know if it is a symptom for many of you but it is for me sadly. Since I started feeling un well 5 1/2 years ago, I started noticing changes with my hair for the worse. It got dry, thinned out...
I'm 27 now, but two years ago at the age of 25 driving in my car to work, I noticed my first grey hairs in the mirror of my van. I was SHOCKED to see grey hair at 25. I pulled the couple out. It's...
I started taking herbs as well 4 months ago. I'm using Samento and Banderol and I'm only at 14 drops of each in the am and 14 of each in the pm. I have found it very slow going with increasing the...
We bought two HEPA air purifiers about a month or two ago - one for upstairs and one for down. Hopefully that helps somewhat until we can move but I know that is not a "fix". Mister Mike: What would...
Mister Mike: I thought that asbestos wasn't harmful unless disturbed and also that it was more lungs/chest it affected? Yeah, I definitely feel that the house is toxic in some way.. We are calling...
Pretty sure the asbestos was put on when the house was built. I thought issues from asbestos were more lung involved, not causing dizziness. No, we cant stay with anyone for a few months. We have...
The outside of our house is made of Asbestos (it is in the panelling stuff that covers our house). But I'm pretty sure as long as the Asbestos is not disturbed then it can't cause harm. We don't have...
On top of all that my OTHER daughter has complained of chronic belly aches and headaches the past few years. Even had to have an ultrasound on her tummy a couple years ago because of it but it came...
I had an appointment with my LLND yesterday and a lot has went on since I've seen her last regarding my daughter not feeling well like me. Ive mentioned it in previous posts but here is a little...
I only take mine twice a day, Am before breakfast and PM before dinner away from food on an empty stomach....
Update on length of treatment - our pharmacist called our doctor's office to tell her the guidelines they have for treating lyme is 21 days (3 weeks) 60mg 2x day, not 2 weeks. And guess what? She...
Traveller - Ok, I will request another two week from our family doctor. I'll make an appointment to see her next week before her prescription runs out. Thanks for the advice. About taking the doxy...
When she takes her morning dose of doxycycline it makes her very nauseas because the pharmacist stated to take with no food. The nausea reduces a hour after taking the medication so I'm just having...
If she has any symptoms at all I will be going back to my doctor for a second round of antibiotics. If the two weeks of antibiotics she has help 100%, then I will be talking to my LLND (which I see...
Thanks Healing98....
& thanks happyjo! I'm hoping she continues to improve on the doxy. These last 3 months have been hard/sad/heartbreaking to not see my daughter as herself....
I'm hoping the "regular treatment guidelines" will work for her new infection and all she will need is a couple weeks of antibiotics that her doctor prescribed. I will be taking her back to the...
Thanks so much for your post, btw regarding the doxycycline being an anti-inflammatory. We are not sure if she has Lyme but venturing this path to see. Her doctor prescribed her a course of...
So it doesn't mean that she is necessarily has Lyme or is getting better from Lyme just yet... it just means that she has inflammation in her chest that the Doxycycline is helping with it, right?...
I'm hoping she's not one of the ones who will experience a herx or really severe ones, we will see. :( Hopefully just improvement. The cardiologist said that also.. that he didn't think her chest...
finisului17: I hope its not just scaring the germs, but killing them! And yes, I'm having her detox....
Well, she did end up getting some more chest pains than just the one before the day was completely through. Laying in bed going to sleep at about 10pm, she got 6 more random ones. Still, I can't...
Seems way too soon for the meds to be doing anything though? My husband and I just look at each other like WOW! For the last 2.5 months she has been having between 7-30 chest pains per day (usually...
As some of you know, I've posted about my daughter not feeling well for the last 3 months now. She was bite by a tick very end of June, wasn't engorged, no rash and no symptoms started right after....
The negative side of this is she was only prescribed two weeks. We asked for at least three and she said she doesn't want to without a positive blood test. What we are going to do is, 1) watch for a...
Thank you so much for your answer, Traveller! That is reassuring to know she has been prescribed the right dose....
Her nausea has already settled... it happened after taking the medication and then lessened after an hour and is no longer nauseous....
