ItisLyme, Yes, I do practice meditation. :)...
At the moment, I have stopped taking the CT and the Sida. I had my last doses Monday morning. Detoxing is good, I think. I have not taken a bath in while. They sent me into a terrible herx. I was...
The past few days, my world has been spinning...literally. I thought it was vertigo as it is related to head movement. I've done the Epley Maneuver a few times with no relief. After doing it today, I...
Lucky75, Welcome!!! I think testing should be in your near future. I never had temps, but my allergies, which had been non-existent for years showed up about 4 years before I was diagnosed. Brain fog...
Girlie, hahahaha!!!! At least you were ahead of the game. LOL!!! My kiddos changed ours while we were still in bed this morning...except for the one in the living room, where I've been sitting all...
Oh y goodness, bluebyyou, so many great ideas on that link. And for the crockpot!!!!!!! Added bonus!! Thanks so much for sharing. I haven't been on the main page yet, but you might want to start a...
Persephone, I'm glad I could help put a smile on your face. :-) My meals are pretty basic. One thing I do, when possible, is to make a bigger batch. For example, A couple of weeks ago I made chili. I...
Cool! Thanks....
I have elbow issues as well. Mine, for some reason, gets really bad at night. It will wake me up out of a dead sleep with shooting pain. I've been taking turmeric for inflammation and it seems to be...
I loved all the encouragement. Thank you. Hubby and I went to a home and garden show yesterday. We were also able get to the downtown market A very lovey day, but lots of walking and people. Last...
I was diagnosed with lyme a year and a half ago. Treated it, went into remission. Babesia showed up, treated it, went into remission. Lyme flared up, treated it, went into remission. Lyme and babesia...
I do almond milk with a good protein powder. Sometimes I put in flax oil. I read this in The Lyme Diet book. It has helped me quite a bit....
Thank you. Thank you for voicing the truth to your doc's office. It is frustrating that we have to do so much learning on our own, especially in the condition we are in. However, I am so very...
Mister Mike......too funny!!!!!! :turn: :turn: :turn:...
Glad you can get in. Awesome to stay on top of it. Keep us posted....
Runnergirl and Utah, I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what it would be like to be in treatment and not seeing results. Have there not been any changes, even little ones? When I was first...
Welcome, Wildlyme, to the journey. May you find peace and comfort as you travel this road. This forum is so full of love and encouragement. I'm happy for you that you have found it. There have been...
Borderlyme, So sorry to hear of your struggle. It's so hard to run in circles like that. I had severe back and upper GI pain that the docs were convinced was a gall bladder issue. I think they would...
((((HUGS, HUGS, HUGS))))...
I just love to drink it. Never thought about it for the lyme. Chaga sun-tea......takes it to a whole new level. YUM-O!!!!!...
These are great. :) I enjoyed reading them. I love the individuality of people. I am working on embracing the journey. It encourages me to see others have, at least in some sense, already captured...
After the horrible week you had, I'm glad you have found someone to listen. It must have been a breath of fresh air. hugs to you as you continue on your path to healing...
I'm curious what y'all do to get "life" done? What helps you to do your daily activities? Do you follow any type of schedule? Does that help? Does eating or taking certain things seem to help? I know...
I looked at the extensive chart and I'm now thinking babesia is definitely going on. I had forgot to mention I'm hardly ever hungry, and nausea is a regular part of my day. Those were both listed...
Saving the world is not a bad thing. :smilewinkgrin: Seriously what are the odds of that? It must be pretty small. I am assuming you caught it pretty quickly, being so aware of symptoms. I don't feel...
Traveler, thanks. It was a lovely, small, intimate wedding. We already had a great relationship, but going through a life event like that has made it even better. :-) I was sorry to see you are back...
Here I am...again. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I have a GREAT integrative LLMD and have had my ups and downs. I get symptoms, go to the doc, have treatments, feel better, live life...
Thanks for the encouragement. I have been battling hypothyroidism, but I've never gained weight this quickly. It's always simply been harder to get off. Doc keeps telling me, get rid of bugs first...
I'm in my 5th week of treatment for babesia. Lyme is not an issue at the moment....praise God!!!!! I'm really struggling with weight gain. I gained about 20# during lyme treatment(about 4 months) and...
Loved it!!!! Except #8.......my new clothes have come from gaining weight. :(...
Shelly71, Thanks for sharing. Sounds like good and not so good news.....but on the journey to recovery!!! YAY!!!! Thanks for the "prayer tubes". I hate that MRI tube. :sad: Keep moving forward....
I have healed naturally, but using a homeopathic LLMD. Not sure the cost is a lot less. I know there are some books, that I'm sure other members here will let you know about. Hang in there....
Dannarahn, I used to walk with one hand touching a wall. I totally understand the veering. I joke that it's like drinking without the giggling....and the hangover. LOL!!!!!! ;) The veering isn't so...
Beth, thanks so much. You're response made me smile...and laugh. I had the mind set that once the lyme was gone that was it. I was all done, so this kinda threw me. What you said makes sense. And I...
I have now been diagnosed with babesia. I'm trying to understand the symptoms that go with this bugger. The I'm not sure why. It is what it is. I can't change that. I know it will get better, just...
Elleon, I'm so sorry to hear about your nightrmares. I had them as well. I dreaded going to sleep. I wish I could help. They started about 3 weeks into treatment, and last about 5 weeks. It was...
I had air hunger with lyme. It went away with treatment for lyme. Babesia has now shown up and it is back. Though it is worse now than it was with the lyme. Elleon, that is a good way to describe the...
Delmar, So sorry to hear about your health. It will be good to get in with an LLMD. As Louise said, you are in the right place coming here. So much love, thoughtfulness, and good solid advice. Keep...
Thanks. So, this is kinda weird. I don't know if it was coincidence or really helped. I have been craving veggie juice. So I picked up some fresh veggies (well, as fresh as they can be for April in...
So drinking coffee would be helpful. :smilewinkgrin:...
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for headache relief. This "babesia headache" is brutal. And worse after I take my med. I actually took 3 advil today. I know you can take 4 but that always...
The first few pages were quite interesting. I was concerned while reading the "abstract" at the beginning I wasn't going to understand anything. LOL!!!!!!...
Oh Chappelle.....I totally get that. When my mood became a roller coaster I would make a face on the dry erase board in our kitchen to let my family know how I was doing. I scary face meant, if mom...
Overall it's just a crazy disease, isn't it? Louise, I really don't know a lot about lyme. I was bitten 9 1/2 years ago, had on and off symptoms...not having any idea what it was. I never went to a...
My doc cleared my of "active" lyme a couple of months ago. I really was feeling better until about 2 weeks ago, went back into the doc and looks like babesia has now shown up. She told me it's common...
I drink wine on occasion. I've never noticed a mark-able difference. What is ETOH?...
Hugs, Louise. My hard core die off caused tears of fear, anger and hopelessness. I was frustrated with my body and hated the monster that had invaded my brain. But I am here to tell you there is...
I'm sorry to hear of your incident. I'm glad you were finally able to get some sleep. With the exception of the left tingling arm, it sounds like what happens to my daughter with the onset of a...
sorry, can't help you out much here. Most green drinks do a number on me as well. Haven't found one that I can tolerate. Gave up spending the money. So now I just add wheat grass grass. haha!!!...
One thing I have learned through this is......listen to your body. I know it's REALLY hard when you want to work out and can't. But overdoing and paying for it later is never worth it, at least it...
