I am currently taking LDN for lyme, but don't think that is enough....
Hi, I have been diagnosed with chronic lyme a couple of years ago and have been on and off antibiotics. I recently was tested for EBV and results were: EBV VIRAL CAPSID AG (VCA) AB (IGG) 130 u/ml...
I started LDN at .5 and slowly titrated up to 4.5 mg. At first, I had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, but it got better with time. I have now been on it for about 6 months and noticed a...
I have treated Bartonella in the past, but the Dr. recommended taking a break from treatment due to not being able to tolerate it well and being in graduate school. However, since my symptoms began...
Hi, Just went back to the doctor after experiencing numbness in my toes and extreme sensitivities in my fingers. She believes that either my immune system may be attacking my body while trying to...
The 6 capsules 3x a day was my LLMD's recommendation to take. Every time I would go see her she would tell me that I "baffled" her because I was so much worse when treating compared to not treating....
I just checked and I was taking 6 capsules 3 times a day for a total of 18 capsules a day. I started taking one capsule 3x a day and worked myself up to the full dosage...
I can't remember my dosing of the tonic protocol, but I want to say it was 6 or so capsules a day. I just had a bad herx I guess, where I was very fatigued, nausea & vomiting, etc. regardless of the...
Hi, I have tried the LB tonic protocol but couldn't handle that either. I have only tried that and an intense antibiotic protocol. I was told the Dr. in Atlanta uses a natural protocol, but I am...
I was diagnosed with chronic lyme disease about 2 years ago. My symptoms are very mild and I found that when I try and treat it, I feel a lot worse and cannot tolerate the antibiotics. I know that I...

I had an LLMD that discharged me due to the treatments making me worse. She would constantly tell me that she was perplexed by my case, so I am currently looking for a new one....
Thank you for your response! Are you currently treating it? I stopped treating lyme because I felt better off antibiotics than I did while I was taking them....
Hope you are doing well! What did the Doctor end up saying/how did they treat it? I was also just in the ER for SVT...
Hi, I was diagnosed with lyme disease about a year ago. As some of you may know, I was diagnosed "accidentally" as I did not have many symptoms and it was found through a high c-reactive protein,...
Thank you so much for the breakdown!! It is extremely helpful since my doctor had just mailed me my results with no explanation. I am sorry, I forgot to mention that I had a salivary cortisol test...
Hi everyone, I just received my labs from labcorp and they read this: Thyroid antibodies (thyroid peroxidase): <6 (range 0-34) DHEA-sulfate: 42 (no range given) Thyroxine (T4) Free: 1.10 (range...
Went back to the doctor today. She is re-checking my DHEA, TSH, T3, T4, Cortisol, Thyroid ab, and c-reavtive protein. Thinks my adrenal glads aren't functioning and is really worried about the...
Thanks for sharing Melimom! I as well have what seems to be all of those abnormal tests. How have you been treating everything? Has the weight gain gotten under control?...
I had just been on Nystatin for a month and a half to treat the Candida and ended it 2 days ago. It did help with the bloating but I am still having water retention/swelling in my fingers, hands and...
Thank you cd3764 for all of your help! I am going to my LLMD Oct. 8th and will hopefully get more answers from her then!...
I just called my doctor and she thinks my T4 and T3 levels are normal and that it could be my adrenals. I am still not convinced that I don't have hypothyroidism especially since it runs in my...
I just went through my labs and do not see that my TSH was tested. I also had my reverse T3 tested which was 14.1 (range 9.2 - 24.1)...
Hi everyone, I have had my thyroid checked in march due to my mom and sister having hypothyroidism. my results were: Free T4: 1.13 (range .8 - 1.8) Free T3: 3.4 (range 2.0 - 4.4) At the same time I...
Thank you for the examples! Those ranges match up with the ranges written on my labcorp results. I had these labs read my old LLMD who I was not too fond of. I brought all of my previous labs to my...
I have had them checked before I started treating for Lyme which was in March. My T4 free was 1.13 and my Tri-iodothyronine free was 3.4. I am thinking I should get them checked again since starting...
I notice the swelling as soon as I wake up in the morning. It just feels like tightness is my fingers and I notice my fitbit is tight on my wrist as well. Typically as the day goes on, it starts to...
Hi everyone, I just stopped taking Nystatin after being on it for a little over a month and am currently taking 4 LB tonic protocol pills 3x a day. I have finally been able to work out the past...
I was looking at that link you have attached and am planning on purchasing activated charcoal to add to my detox. Have you guys had any luck taking it?...
Thank you guys so much!!! I drink 6-8 glasses of water a day but will definitely add in more detox baths and dry brushing!!! I am in graduate school and extremely busy, so it is hard to get one in...
So as you all have probably read from my previous posts...my case is very backwards. I was "accidentally" diagnosed with lyme disease through blood work. My doctor noticed my c-reactive protein was...
Thank you!! Just messaged my doctor asking for it!!...
I was thinking it could be that so I started taking a yeast probiotic. I never heard of Nystatin, but I will look into it!! My diet has been a lot of fruits and veggies and leafy greens. I do need to...
Hi, I just started taking minocycline and waited a week to start Biaxin. I started taking both 2 times a day for about 2 weeks now. After every time I eat I feel very bloated and uncomfortable to the...
Oh wow! My doctor started me full dose (100mg 2x day) mino and I am only on my 4th day. I'm not sure if I am herxing or just feeling the side effects of the medicine-just dry brushed and took an...
Thank You!! I am only on the mino now and taking it by itself for a week in order to allow my body to adjust. I am planning on starting the Biaxin in a few days and giving myself time before I add...
Ok, thank you so much for all of the information!! I will try starting with one capsule 3x a day and see how I do. I already have the combo so maybe I will see if I can tolerate it before ordering...
Yea it is Green Dragon Brand. It just came in from ordering it online. She told me to work my way up to 6 pills 3x a day. Is this a normal dosage?...
Has anyone ever been on the LB tonic protocol along with antibiotics? My doctor told me to take 6 pills 3 times a day, which seems like a lot!!! I am also on minocycline and biaxin. Is that many...
Ok, Thanks! I had the co-infection testing done already through quest since they haven't been done prior to treatment. They all came back negative!...
I went to a doctor that my family had gone to in order to be tested for hypothyroidism and MTHFR since they both run in the family. As part of the routine testing, she included the c-reactive...
Ok, thanks! Yea my doctor is waiting for the rest of the results to come back before treatment, but stated she wants to try herbs versus antibiotics if necessary. Does anyone know how long the Igenex...
Is there anything else the CD57 can test for? My new doctor doesn't think I have Lyme since I haven't had any symptoms, can't remember a tick bite and never had a rash. I have a mold allergy and my...
Hey! While on the antibiotics I was very nauseous, occasionally throwing up, headaches/migraines, poor sleep at night, loss of appetite, racing heart and would get lightheaded when standing from...
Went to a doctor who had diagnosed me with Lyme disease after having a C-reactive protein level of 31.78 which led her to do further tests. I had no symptoms but she completed a CD57 and came back...
Sorry, just did! Thanks!...
Please email me with suggestions! Very unhappy with my Dr. now. Willing to travel as far as richmond VA...

Yea I agree as well and that is part of the reason why I am getting a second opinion. My doctor now is not good at communicating with me and explaining her reasoning. I haven't even been able to talk...
