I had weird tastes in my mouth on and off while I was in the middle of being really sick. Jelly Bellies were one of the few things that took it away for me! If you have thrush (which I also had and...
I had very good success with Excedrin and a hot pack on the pain for about 20 minutes. The heat made me have a bart rash appear which stayed for a little less than 2 days, but worth it to get away...
PeteZa good article! Thanks! I didn't know there were different strains of Bartonella. Good to know. They only mention ticks and fleas in the article..... I actually got Bartonella from a spider...
So an interesting question came up in conversation with someone who's mother was bitten by a bug a few months ago and is suffering from odd symptoms that no doctor can diagnose. I suggested he have...
With Bart I've had just about every kind of foot pain you can have. I've had days of feeling like a sliver of glass is stuck in my foot, bruised feeling like someone beat my feet with a board, bone...
I've taken DE and Calcium Bentonite to help with detox and heavy metals in the past. I just have the hardest time consuming chlorella - powder or pill it makes me gag. I don't know why. If you have a...
Interestingly enough I am not allergic to peanuts, BUT after not eating them for over 18 months due to extremely restrictive diet, when I did eat organic peanut butter I felt awful. I had a very...
I worked all the way through my worst times but had to take days off here and there. Fortunately I have a desk job but do accounting and found that everything took so long for me to do and then I had...
I completely lost my vision in my eyes several times. It was always upon waking - looking through a foggy mirror is what it was like....barely could make out shapes and light was very dark....
Yes, I am also envious! When I was in full blown treatment I felt awful most of the time and only got a few hours to a day or so of relief before feeling awful again. For me, the further down the...
I just e-mailed you my ND's info. I had great experiences there and she really helped me get better. Best of luck! Jenny...
I was having these and the most noticeable "non-sweating" one that I would have was extreme heat coming from my diaphragm area of my torso. The heat was so intense that if you put your hand almost a...
Here's the muffin recipe with suggestions depending on your diet. They came out super delicious and I hope you enjoy them as much as my work staff did. I didn't tell them what was in them and offered...
Yes, when I traveled to France a few years ago, all of my food allergies stopped completely while I was there. For the first time in maybe 20 years, I was able to consume onions without issue! That's...
I have also had very good success with them. I found their pricing very competitive and everything gets delivered quickly and in good shape. I had an issue with one order (of MANY) and they fixed it...
I was completely gluten free for about 18 months and grain free for about 6 months of that due to issues digesting all grains. I started re-introducing grains and then gluten. I found that I could...
I love my ND and she's been wonderful BUT there are times that we disagree....remember it's my body we're dealing with here. Sometimes she makes her case and sometimes she doesn't, but she is ALWAYS...
I hope you have the great success that I've had! Love my CBD. This stuff has saved my life....
I was excited when I got a touch of the flu a few weeks ago. I have not had a virus in YEARS due to the Lyme. In my mind, I'm getting back to normal, my immune system is not so tied up with Lyme that...
Try arnica, too....they make a cream that works pretty good....you can get it at Sprouts. Look into magnetic therapy, too....sometimes Walgreens carries the wraps for a good price. That will increase...
I did bloodletting for a while and loved it. I believe your body creates new blood with new "soldiers" in it to fight the disease and for a week or two after doing bloodletting, I felt fantastic. I...
I've been using CBD for about 3 months now and am just so impressed with the results. I have been under tremendous stress and not eating right and not taking my supplements and not getting enough...
No, unless you find an eye doc that is familiar with Lyme (I found out my ophthalmologist had a sister with Lyme) you'll be hard pressed for them to find anything "wrong". When my vision started...
I've had the same issues the whole time I've been sick....my eyesight fluctuates, sometimes I need readers to see my work, sometimes I don't, I've had my vision completely disappear and go dark upon...
One of the greens that I've found that are low in oxilates and do not bother me at all are sweet potato greens. I grow them in copious amounts in my garden and they're super easy to grow and harvest....
I really hope this works for you! I've been on CBD for a little less than a month and am noticing some fantastic results. I really do feel as though I am being cured by this, not just that it's...
At one point I took Xanax at night before going to bed. My anxiety was ramped up so badly that I wasn't able to sleep which had a terrible effect on me during the day. I've always been a "sleeper" my...
I've taken both lumbrokinase (started with that for a few months) and Nattokinase (transfered to this due to cost) and I have to say it has helped. My blood was so thick and gloppy they couldn't even...
I've been on CBD for about 2 1/2 weeks now and am really happy I chose to try this. My pain is greatly reduced, nausea is completely gone, I have better energy and stamina, am sleeping better, I can...
Except for some of the bloodwork and a few pharmaceuticals all of my care over the last 2 1/2 years has been out of pocket. Arizona insurance doesn't recognize ND's so I couldn't do the out of...
Thanks Girle, Yes, I think that the timing was right for this. I've been static for about 5-6 months and except for having terrible, extreme pain for about 3 weeks in July (don't know what that was...
I've been doing CBD oil for about a week now and am very happy with the results. No major "wow" moments but more like "oh, my feet don't hurt this morning, that's new" kind of thing. My pain is...
At the peak of my battle with Bartonella, I was sweating. I mean, gross and copious amounts. Even my lower legs and the tops of my feet were sweating. All I had to do was do the tiniest amount of...
I also had this issue for a while - very thick blood...it would clot in the needle and then in the tube. They were having a problem doing my labs. My ND put me on Boluoke (Lumbrokinase) and within a...
Oh, no, oil pulling is not something I could do...the mere thought of it gags me. I am a gagger! Nope, just the wheatgrass. My teeth are whiter than ever and my receding gums are healing, too,...
Oh my goodness, yes I've done things like this, too. Once I filed a check for a large sum of money at work in my files for paid invoices. I thankfully was doing a self audit and found the check and...
I do wheatgrass pulling. My teeth were starting infection all over my mouth and jaw and I was having pain and swelling. I also had an ear infection at the time due to all of this, I'm sure. I started...
I've found that those symptoms would lessen as long as I didn't stay in one position too long....while at work, I'd get up every 20-30 minutes and walk to the restroom, copy machine, get a drink,...
If I have issues with constipation, I take magnesium oxide at night before bed with a big glass of water. The next morning, after several trips to the bathroom it is no longer an issue. Consider...
When I was at my worst with Lyme, I was unable to digest any type of grains or dairy. Maybe try cutting those out for a month or so and see if that helps you. Since I've gotten better and my gut has...
I use BC quite a bit along with diatomaceous earth. I use them both away from any other supplements/meds I'm taking by about 4 hours. I mostly reserve the BC for when my digestion is acting up or I...
Hi Laker, Just remember these feelings will pass. I have lost almost all contact with my friends because I didn't have energy to go out with them, so they stopped calling at all. My family has no...
Hey, wow! Thanks for stepping up Krimpet! This board is so awesome and I deeply appreciate all the mod's who keep it that way. You're in excellent company for sure. Jenny...
Peanuts are one of the "dirtiest" foods you can eat.....from the fact they are GM, to the heavy pesticides they use in growing to the high amount of molds in them and the fact that they are far from...
Yes, I get this as well....it kind of comes and goes for me....a few weeks ago I was like Shakira - my hip and buttocks muscles were going crazy! I never thought of it like a chipmunk but I've got to...
I get this sometimes, too.....also a feeling of having like a toothpick piece caught in my throat, uncomfortable to the point of almost painful. It usually doesn't last long - maybe a day or two at...
I was having thoughts of drinking....I am not and never have been much of a drinker. On occasion I'd have a small glass of wine or a mixed girlie drink but rarely finished them. But I've actually had...
I've gone through different periods of eating when nauseous....at one time all I could stomach without puking was ham and oreos....I know, weird....not the kinds of stuff I usually eat at all but...
I've been told by MD's that there is no Lyme in Arizona....so I can't have it.....pah...what a bunch of fools. I told one doc to check with their local vet to see what percentage of their dog...
Yeah, mine haven't totally resolved....they are still a bit swollen, especially towards the later part of the day. I'm also wondering...I've never been a salt person, so in the summer in AZ I pay...
