I moved to Western Kentucky about a year ago and have been struggling to find a Lyme doctor in the area. I’m willing to travel to the Nashville area as I did travel over three hours to see my last...
Thanks Clam Digger for your response. I think it’s time to look into this further!!...
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the confusion. I am very much nearsighted. I wear air optix night and day contacts with a negative 9 power or at least that is what the box says. Recently my eyes...
I’m not sure if this is Lyme related but I noticed several months ago that my eyes were changing. Everything close up is blurry and I recently started getting headaches in the sinus/temple area. My...
I’m looking for a LLMD near Hickman, Kentucky. I just moved from Minnesota and need to establish care asap. Thanks for your help!...
He will always have it but once the vertebrae in his spine fuses as a result of his body fighting the spinal fluid the pain goes away. He took very strong prescription pain killers for about 20 years...
My husband has had AS for 30 years. A person can have the gene but never get the disease. It is genetic and mostly affects men. It usually starts in the twenties and is extremely painful. My lyme...
ATP Fuel worked well for me....
I am currently on month 3 of the Cowden Protocol. I had a bad time about a month ago but have been doing much better. However, lately I have been getting weak legs and feet in the evenings only....
Thanks gfields! Deep down I do think it is the job making my symptoms flair but I really want to stay working if I can. I think I am going to take my boss up on his offer this morning and work when I...
About six weeks ago I decided to start a new job. I was feeling so good...about 95%. I was taken off all antibiotics and put on the Cowden Protocol. I really thought I could go back to a fairly...
The first time I was on lyme treatment I wasn't told about detoxing. My symptoms got so bad that I thought I would die. To summarize, my body and my mind shut down. I couldn't work in my office and I...
My blood pressure has come down too but is still normal. It used to be 120 over 80, now it is 106 over 66. The doctors said the same thing about my blood pressure....it is coming down because I am...
Thanks for all the comments...I needed some additional feedback. The only potential symptom I have that may be related to my low heart rate is getting lightheaded. It doesnt happen often so it could...
For many years my resting heart rate was in the high 70s. Once I started treatment in December it starting coming down slowly but steadily. It is now in the low 50s. Both my gp and my llmd think it...
Well I made it through the weekend and my pain and nausea are getting better. My llmd called Monday night and told me to stop my three lyme antibiotics. She was surprised the pharmacy allowed me to...

Thanks PeteZa! Silly question...can bone broth be bought in a store? At first my pain was do unbearable I needed something for pain. Today it switched to severe nausea. I have never experienced...
I thought about that too but the symptoms seem to get worse right after I take the hydrocodone not the abx. I just hate this...I was doing so good. How long do you go on a liquid dietwhen you get...
Thanks Denise! This is my first time with diverticulitis.....it is awful! They figure I got it from eating too many nuts. I also am on a very restricted diet so I eat a lot of nuts when I am on the...
The last couple months my treatment has been going really well. I would say I am about 90% better. Symptoms only show up when I over do it which I try not to do. Then early this week I got really...
I too am impressed you are working 60 hours a week but I cant help but wonder if that is affecting your treatment. Personally my symptoms increase when I work too much. I know this might sound weird...
Sayyadina, I definitely have the fatigue you mentioned in your post. Today I did some cleaning at a rental house from 9 to 3. I was so exhausted mentally and physically I had to go home and take a...
For the most part my treatment this time around is going well. The first time I was on treatment for 6 weeks and this time about 2 months. The symptom I am having the most trouble with is the loss of...
I had most of those symptoms and was tested for als. It was one of the scariest time of my life. My first treatment for lyme did not go well. I found a llmd a couple months ago. The first thing she...
ko7 - no I don't believe I pneum before. During my initial visit with my LLMD, she suspected that I had methylation problems. She wanted to run more tests to confirm her suspicions. Traveler - the...
I just received test results from my LLMD in the mail. I have an appointment with her tomorrow but wanted to know what you all think before I see her. On a side note, I was Igenex and CDC positive...
Have you ever tried a stool sample? I had a rare bacterial infection 3 years ago that caused strange symptoms. It was found with a stool sample. It was resistant to most antibiotics so it took a long...
Roxy, Your story sounds a lot like mine and I feel for you I really do. In the beginning there were days all I would do is cry and think my life is over. Then something would happen to give me hope...
Leg weakness and pain were some of my first symptoms. I have not been able to walk by myself since December. I dont leave the house alone anymore because I cant walk when I get to where I am going....
Is anyone having throat problems as a symptom of lyme disease? I have been getting a mild to moderate sore throat on and off for about a year. Sometimes my voice changes with it and sometimes I have...
Overwhelmed, Although I can't speak for anyone else with lyme disease, I can personally relate to your story and I feel your pain. I know I have treated my husband badly at times maybe not to the...
I have been taking epson salt baths mostly every night and started probiotics the same day I quit doxycycline. I have only been to the infectious disease doctor once at the request of my GP. It was...
