I don't mind going ahead with herbal treatment... Just want to make sure it's not something else, but no idea what else it could be... Sometimes I think my life just sucks and anyone in my situation...
Yes it was based on LabCorp tests which they know aren't the best, and they were planning on doing the igenex test next. But based on those tests, they decided not too. The rejection of the herx...
I got another round of tests back and everything was negative, including all the coinfections, and since my c4a level wasn't high, my ND thought it wasn't a false negative. She thinks it's not Lyme....
Hi all, I've posted a few times here already but new here so lots of questions... Just wondering if all abx are as bad as doxy? I took it for two weeks (about two weeks off right now) and I...
I just signed up for Amazon Fresh, their grocery delivery... $200 a year but that's about $4 a week, worth it I think! Sadly my husband doesn't think so. I'm gonna try to start with gluten and...
I have an appointment Wednesday, as long as my test results are back by then! But they just had me go to LabCorp for western blot and testing for coinfections I think, so I'm not expecting much given...
Thanks for the responses! They started on the doxy before they knew for sure if I have Lyme, they said they were treating "presumptively." Not sure why only two weeks, I think that was just to start...
I forgot to add I've been off the doxy about 10 days, not sure if that would still cause herx reactions this long?...
I'm in the diagnosing process but Lyme is likely. The NDs think so anyway enough to start treating me; I took two weeks of doxy and pretty sure I had terrible herxing, and felt better the day I...
Thank you for the tips everyone :) having a really rough day, wish I knew why... My moods are so up and down right now. Sometimes I feel like there's a side of me that doesn't want to get better......
Go to the store with a one year old and four year old? Shoot me now. Not gonna happen. Sadly I'm supposed to avoid fermented food too because of high histamines or something so no yogurt, kefir, etc....
Oh and did I mention I can't afford this? I think I have $11 in my checking account right now. Can blame all the expensive vitamins and supplements for that partially... I have incredible insurance...
Well I got one think going for me, I drink my coffee black so no dairy or sugar problems there! I have a 4 year old and 1 year old that I'm home with all morning and then most nights I head straight...
Hi, another newbie question that I'm kind of afraid to ask because I'm pretty sure I know the answer... How important are the dietary restrictions I often see recommended? I have no problem (in...
I'm just starting this process, it was only a month ago I got a new doctor, who I didn't even know until I saw her was a naturopath and she suspected Lyme right away; they did tons of tests and I was...
Also, I recently started taking n-acetyl cysteine, but I'm just now learning about the detox process. Most psych meds were as good as sugar pills but lithium was one of the exceptions, I went into a...
I have a team of NDs that are being very thorough, I've had 25 different tests ($6,000+) done so far so I think they're checking everything! They suspected thyroid as well but it's fine apparently....
Hi all, sorry if this has been discussed, I've searched Lyme depression and there's so many threads it's hard to find what I'm looking for! I know Lyme can cause depression, and I'm hoping it's...
Ah, I didn't know I could order one myself... She was reluctant to send me to LabCorp's as I think she knows it's not a great test, she said she would test through igenix, but if the LabCorp test is...
I think my doc (LLND) just had me do LabCorp's as a preliminary because she was out of the kits for I think igenix? I guess we'll see, not sure how to go about this....
Hi there, new here... I'm not officially diagnosed yet but it's looking likely based on my history, symptoms and preliminary test results... I'm still learning about Lyme and getting literate so...
