Hi Shonna. I’m unable to send a private message to you, so please contact me through this forum. I used to see an LLMD in Marble Falls. TX. Let me know if you would like the info. All the best to you....
Girlie, How very sad about the treatment your father received. I'm so sorry. Why do doctors prescribe away without thinking about the consequences? Invictus67, I agree with Girlie to stay off of the...
Hi joe Nova, Yes, I do think it's possible that Lyme can affect you mentally and not physically, although fatigue is physical. My sister was bitten by a tick in Mexico and I "made" her get tested for...
It's so helpful to read everyone's input. To DISNEYLOVE, how are you doing? Did the vertigo go away by chance? I still have the dizziness although it's worse in the morning and seems to dissipate as...
To Disneylove, I've just been diagnosed with Acute Labyrinthitis....my story, in case it helps: I have currently been experiencing vertigo and dizziness for 4 weeks now. Mine began with a severe...
Hi All, I'm late (only by a few years!) to this thread but just would like to say thank you for all of your posts in case anyone is still following it, because I was beginning to get a little frantic...
Congrats, Traveler! That's a good feeling - thanks for sharing it with us! I hope this is a sign of healing!...
Thanks for your reply, Cherylfelice. I'm sorry that you're still feeling sick. It's so hard to know what's working, what's not or what triggers one reaction or another. Hopefully the knowledgeable...
Hello Cheryl, Just now reading this post about Serrapeptase. I also had a severe herx 3 days after starting on Serrapeptase (one capsule 24.5mg/day). At the time I was taking Samento and Banderol...
Dear Emotional, My doc started me on the Des Bio vials - the Borrelia/Babesia while I was still on abx. He had me take 1/2 vial every 3 days and when at the end, take the other 1/2 going backwards. I...
Hi myeezy, Have you had "Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) checked with blood tests? Check to see if yours is low. Mine is non-existent, below the norm. This can be related to exposure to mold...
Astroman, Thanks for your input. Interesting about TSH - ok, I won't pay too much attention to that, good to know! Actually, those test results were after being on NatureThroid for only 2 weeks, just...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with determining thyroid test results...I was diagnosed last year with Hashimoto's (and with Lyme disease 3 yrs ago). Your comments are welcome - thanks! The...
I would also try coconut oil. I've had severe tooth and gum pain, too, so it's definitely part of the Lyme bacteria attacking or perhaps a herx reaction to medication. Mine happened two or three...
Hi Krimpet, I also suddenly found out that I had high EBV antibodies in recent blood tests. But just prior to that it was detected while having an EDS (Electro-Dermal Scan) done by a very good...
Hi - I just wanted to say thank you to Iheartx and to Bellyfull for sharing your success stories with Bee Venom Therapy! Wow, it's so encouraging and fascinating. And I love, love, love the two...
Hi - yes, I've noticed more media awareness as well - Something on CNN today, but I didn't catch the story. But this is good news: There is a new data survey on the LymeDisease/dot/org website called...
Hi Jets, Yes, I definitely had the same twitching... one on my cheek that literally would lift the corner of my mouth, then release it. And at another time just below one eye - pulsating continually....
Hi LB, I'm sorry I can't provide any info regarding Ozone treatment, but I just wanted to note, after reading this thread, that I didn't hear any mention of your brother taking Probiotics. Is he...
Kp - that is wonderful news....how great that you didn't waste any time getting him treated properly. Thank you for your follow-up post!! Happy Thanksgiving....
Traveler, You are wonderful. Thank you for the advice! I'll be cooking for 9, but I'm on vacation that week and my sister will be over all day to help! Now I just have to try and not over-due the...
Margaret, I get heart racing daily and sometimes to the point where I have to stop and sit or hold on to something, feeling like I could fall or pass out (but I haven't, thank goodness). My doc's...
My opinion - It might be time to try a new doctor. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks (usually, ha ha!). Hopefully one of Traveler's doc recommendations will take your medical insurance, if...
Thanks, Girlie. I appreciate the advice! If I don't see any improvement with my current protocol I will definitely try the herbals. I did do about 5 months of Banderol and Samento and was doing well...
Interesting, Mpost, thanks - I didn't realize that Babesia needed to be treated with two antibiotics. At this point we're not sure if I have Babesia, but I do suspect it. To CD - thanks for sharing....
Hi Girlie, Ok, thanks. I see so many in the forum who know their specific infections and thought I was missing something. Take care!...
Thanks, all of you for your input! I will talk to my doc about doubling the dose to 200mg/twice day and will continue on it for a few months after I'm symptom free (looking forward to being symptom...
Hi, I know a lot has been discussed about Doxycycline, but I'd love to hear some input as to when I should stop. I'm nearing my 8th week of Doxy 100 mg/ twice a day. I was infected by ticks 2 years...
Welcome, Shmily Kate, I'm so sorry for the severe symptoms you've encountered since your tick bite. It certainly sounds like Lyme to me. I've heard only excellent things about Igenex lab tests,...
Congratulations, CD - and thanks to you and to all of the moderators for your time and wonderful input!...
Yes, the Doxycycline definitely make you sun-sensitive!...
Dear Smartone, Please do not give up...easier said than done, I know, but one day at a time. Let us all help you get to the bottom of why you aren't able to detox or feel better. I think that...
Hello, I recently had my follow-up appt with my new LLMD (who I'm liking very much) to discuss test results. He explained everything quite scientifically during the visit, but I left there completely...
Hey, PeteZa! Awesome that you were able to have a good day. It's almost like when you're feeling good you cautiously but quickly think "I'm back to normal!" And it's amazing. But then some Lymey...
Thank you, Pete!...
Wow. What century are we living in?...
Thanks for your input, Traveler! Thank you, too, Pete! An adjustable night guard might be the way to go - do you happen to know the brand that you're referring to?...
Yes, Jrpsf, I got it this time - this seems to help - thank you so much! I think you're right - I must be clenching my teeth at night. How strange! I guess I'll wait until I've settled in to the Doxy...
Jrpsf - Thank you for writing this great piece of information! I've just tried it, but couldn't really see the movement or jolt, however it's worse in the morning when I wake up - I can't even bring...
Thank you, Sarah....
I just got back on Doxy a few weeks ago, along with taking some homeopathic nosodes - Borellia/Babesia formula and a few days ago I woke up with TMJ pain in my right mandibular joint, as well as a...
Wow - thanks for posting, Traveler... this almost looks like "Progress" !!...
Thank you CD and Traveler! Hope this finds you both well :-)...
Hi All, I just wanted to write a follow-up and a note of thanks to all of the good input I got from you on this thread. I cut back on the MC BB-1 herbal drops from Beyond Balance down to 2 drops/BID,...
Hi Cheetah J, I'm sorry you're going through this. I can only tell you that , I now have the heart racing/palpitations almost daily. Mine started about 5 months into being on Banderol and Cats Claw...
Hi T.V., Just so you know, my doctor also told me that I had no need to worry after my tick bites because they weren't attached for more than 4 hours and according to his information they need to be...
Hi Flossie, Just fyi, while on Samento and Banderol, I decided to add in Serrapeptase after reading how it reaches the biofilms and I herxed with neck pain and stiffness and felt like I had a...
Thanks, Traveler Hopefully you know I was joking about going to the vet to be treated, lol! But I didn't know that the vaccine was once for use on humans and that it had a 30 percent risk of severe...
Ha ha! What sweethearts your hubbies are!...
Traveler - wow, you herxed for 12 months straight on abx?! Knowing then what you know now, your system probably could have handled them much better. I'm sorry you didn't have a good support group...
