Hi everyone! Thanks for the replies. Yes, I am only on biaxin 500 mg twice a day. I will ask my LLMD if I should see another doctor about my thyroid. My TSH seems to vary greatly. One day it'll be...
Hi everyone! I'm a bit down today. So, a bit about my history. Bit as a child in 2003. Recently got tested over a decade later and was Igenex IgG Positive and CDC IgM positive, so of course I was...
Ugh this is what worries me. I only did pcr for babesia because it was free through my insurance. Negative. I still have not herxed after a month on biaxin twice a day. I take plenty of probiotics...
I have not herxed. My first month of biaxin twice a day is almost gone, nothing....
THIS! I couldn't have said it better myself. I eat healthy and exercise to benefit my body because THAT is my overall goal, to feel better. Yes, I do have lyme, but I do not define myself by that. I...
Omg you are like me. By the way, the more you take pictures of your hairline, the more ocd you will become. I've learned this. The pictures and videos are justifications that you are not crazy and...
Ok glad I'm not the only one! Ugh I hope I don't have any coninfections....
Hopefully I made sense. People say they feel like crap from herxing while on abx. But not me? I forgot to take my abx for 24 hours and felt like poo ending at the 24 hour mark....
I've been on biaxin twice a day since a month ago and have not herxed during at all. I have actually felt better! However, I forgot my lunch box in my car with my abx in it (I take it with eating...
Fecal transplants are literally getting a lot of attention recently. It's kinda like getting IViG or a blood transfusion except it's poo. I find no discrimination in this practice compared to other...
Yes, I tested positive for lyme. I have been on biaxin for two weeks. My LLMD only ordered lyme western blot. All other testing was done through arup lab. Maybe I'm just paranoid....
I came across a blog with someone who has lyme and bartonella and they had pictures of stretch marks. I have had these stretch marks on my left wrist for many years now - maybe 4? I have never...
I am CDC positive on IgM too and then only igenex positive on IgG. The IgG being 41+++ and 39+ and 28+. I also got the bull-eye rash in 2003. How IgG is not cdc positive is beyond me....
I also am lyme positive and my second child who is only 28 months has neurological problems and stomach/gut issues. She is getting her blood drawn next week. Financially, we are in ruins despite me...
Thank you so much for that info traveler! It's all so interesting as I had the rash back in 2003 and have taken antibiotics for other things like uti's, acne and H. Pylori but I'm still IgM positive...
Thank you everyone and especially much thanks to rowingmom! These are my results: IGENEX IGM RESULT POSITIVE CDC/NYS RESULT POSITIVE 18 kDa - **23-25 kDa + 28 kDa - 30 kDa - **31 kDa IND **34 kDa IND...
How young are you? Pandas and pans is a diagnosis used only for pediatric patients. The dx for an adult is usually called something else along the line of immune mediated something. Have you had...
According to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, yes you should....
1) Leg weakness due to knee pain - 25 years old and can barely bend down to pick up my children 2) OCD 3) Irritability due to everything hurting...
I have severe DP/DR daily. I relate it to a marijuana high but is it not pleasurable. I'm a part of a DP/DR support group. A lot of people there claim that past marijuana/ecstasy use is to blame....
People have used L-lysine, olive leaf extract and oil of oregano for any herpes virus. People rave about their success....
And I believe the TH1 thing too. I've never had a cytokine panel done though, but I believe bacteria and viruses mutate our dna....
Hi! I have Hashimoto's with TPO elevated and celiac disease. We suspect Sjogren's disease as well. RA is also a concern. I have had lyme for 12 years. I feel your pain....
No, I am seeing a LLMD. He is who tested me at igenex....
Oh and by the way, I previously said when I was a kid with abdominal pain, they diagnosed me with H. Pylori. I had my blood drawn to see if I had any antibodies (IgA or IgG) to H. Pylori and... I...
Well, the nurse called me from my doctor's office to tell me that I am positive for lyme both IgM and IgG. I see the doctor in 5 days for treatment. Why 5 days? Well they offered to see me sooner,...
Stomach pain was one and still is one of the major signs especially when I was younger. The abdominal pain was so bad, I couldn't sleep at night. I had an endoscopy at age 15, and the doctor said I...
I would also like to add that olive leaf extract increases the immune response in general and practically all types of antibodies (autoimmune, viral, bacterial, fungal) will be increased. This will...
I don't get diarrhea. I vomit....
No, if you have IgM antibodies, then you have a current or recurring infection that needs addressed. The higher the titer is not notably remarkable as the healthier the person, the more antibodies...
Hey Sean! I'm hoping that you are feeling better. Love that you posted your results. As you can see, there is a chart below your ebv titers that allows for a loose interpretation. You will notice...
What is your platelet- 450ish? It's genetic. You'll want to start taking a baby aspirin daily as you get older. It'll help prevent a heart attack with your higher but not too concerning platelet...
99% accuracy using the FT-Abs test for syphillis. The 1% false positive are only due to autoimmune disorders. Lyme has never shown to produce a false positive FT-abs test. Now the vdrl test, that's a...
Oh, and if you are concerned about strep and the heart, ASO (anti-streptolysin O) titer is a perfect blood test which can detect antibodies to strep. Wooh, I hope I made sense. I'm all nerdified...
Hi! Cool never heard of and EAV machine, so I had to look it up. Pretty neat! There are lots of different types of strep bacteria, but the one we often hear about is streptococcus pyogenes aka Strep...
And just about everyone carries the EBV virus. It's questionable how to diagnosis reactivated EBV since antibodies remain from the first time your acquired mono. There's tests called the early D...
Ok, so this infuriates me. The elisa lyme test, which is the preliminary test, can have a false positive due to Epstein-Barr BUT absolutely NOT the Western Blot. The bands are the western blot test...
I would get TSH, Free T4, T3, TPO antibody (thyroid peroxidase), Thyroglobulin antibody, Cortisol and DHEA....
Mono and EBV are the same thing. Mononucleosis is the disease, EBV is the virus that causes the disease. Just like HIV causes AIDS. Anywho, it is important to differeniate between the titers of IgG...
Whattttt! That is ridiculous. I work at a lab and we draw all patients even if they have their own kits for different labs. We don't charge; we call it kindness draws. We are a non-profit christian...
I would suspect your immune system is out of whack due to antibiotic use. As other's have stated, use probiotics and antifungal treatments such as nystatin powder. Also, I would switch to using...
Have you been tested for H. Pylori? Either ask for a stool test or the breath test. Have you been taking probiotics? Also, ask for a c. diff stool test....
One thing to add (sorry so long), the worst pain usually happens when I'm driving in the car. It's also worse in the winter. I am constantly cold. Stress also turns up the pain level bad too. Heavy...
Hi everyone! *waves* I want to share my story and tell everyone that I am getting my blood drawn for igenex in two weeks, and of course I will post the results on here. Sadly, I believe my untreated...
