Yes, abx can cure the Lyme if caught in a timely manner. The problem is the damage done to organs, muscle, etc..as the result of having the disease. I work full time now. Enjoy my pre Lyme...
Thanks for all your support!...
Ok ,so this cruising girl does fine on the cruise ship. Didn't have to take but 1000 mg of metformin! Get home and while doing yard work find myself clutching poison ivy. Freaking, flooded hands and...
Thanks Lanie: The metformin is 500 mg in am and 500 mg in pm. I will be leaving from Puerto Rico , going to St Thomas, St Kitts, Curacoa, and Aruba. I love pizza and popcorn...waffles and high carb...
I am concerned that my fbs still is lowest at 120 and highest at 140 even after being on 1000 mg metformin for 3 months. I watch my carbs and since being on meds my a1c has dropped from 6.7 to 5.4. I...
Hello folks. Last week went for a1c check . I am down from a 6.7 to a 5.4! Metformin once a day did that. Dr increased dosage to twice daily. Not at all pleased with my fasting sugars though. I still...

Your story brought me to tears. I can soooo relate to all you said. I am new to this Lyme thing too. I am still trying to maintain my pre Lyme abilities...because people believe I am over it or...
Yep ,good stuff ,all of it true! Lab person who took your blood most likely not one running the test. I run the tests and all info above valid... 30 yr. testing tech....
I am newly diagnosed...just now put on metformin. I am struggling too. Just by reading this blog, found out my fusion drinks and popcorn not the way to go "healthy"'. I have a B S and run other folks...

Thanks again all and happy Thanksgiving. I am starting this journey weighing 170 lbs at 5ft 5. I sure would like to drop 40 lbs. last time I went on a low carb diet, I reached my 130 goal, but...
Thanks Lanie...I had Lymes disease in June; my sedate was in the 80s which means inflammation. My Dr ,brother ,says adrenal glands producing too much cortisol which causes sugar to rise. He is...

The 6.7 A1c. Is an oxymoron in and of itself. Most diabetics will tell You , less than 7 is what their Drs. Target is for their A1c. greater Than 6.5 is considered diabetic. I now have a meter and I...
:confused: Last June I was diagnosed with Lymes Disease. I feel my Pancreas has been affected, and can no longer produce enough insulin. I have no family history...but had an A1C of 6.7 recently. I...
I see now that there are different days beside each of those antibiotics. I'm praying just the 100 mg 2x daily is going to take care of it . I get discouraged to see so many people searching for...
I have not gotten tested...and yes the INR is what most dr.'s go by. Anywhere in that .8-1.2 is good as long as you aren't on blood thinner. Those folks need greater numbers to show that they aren't...
Do ya think I really need one of these? A little more frightened than I was. I was looking forward to getting some fishing in, but now I am afraid another tick will bite me and I will have to go thru...
The words you are not familiar with ,are tests to see how quickly your blood clots. When people are put on blood thinners, the results go up for the time it takes them to clot. That is a good thing...
Thanks to all responses, as noted from my last post, I've stayed pretty busy in spite of this lyme thing. As for coinfections, I got negative test results for Babesiosis , Bartonella, and...
I was diagnosed on the 27th of June. With the exception of having to call out sick on the 29th, I have been working full time thru this. Day after starting antibiotics, I could not walk. Since then,...
I am a newly diagnosed Lyme disease patient. I guess I am a lucky one. Despite not remembering a recent tick bite, no bullseye rash, or er doctors who do routine blood work then send you home, I was...
