I have to lose the weight. I’m in the food industry, and my weight balloons and balloons. And my lyme doctor, Dr. P. In Wilton, Connecticut, said that the heavier person is the less responsive their...
Oh, no! That’s not in 10 days! That’s over the course of a while. The last 15, we are the last two weeks or so....
Hey, all. I wanted to give you an update. The flare stopped. I call it a flare because, well, it subsided. It took a while, but I got back to that feel-good baseline. (And I've lost 31 pounds in the...
Hello, All. A little background. I have been doing really, really well. I see Dr. P in Wilton, CT. In Nov, he added Bactrim to my Tetra because of suspected Bart. I had a real hard time with it. A...
Hi, Girlie. This is the second cycle through this protocol. I've been on artemisinin for six on-pulses and the oil of oregano for 1 on-pulse. Tetra for all of it. Things did start getting hairy after...
Hi, all. Well my long stretch of doing well has come to an end. I am on a 17-day off Pulse. My schedule is five days on of tetracycline, artemisinin, and oil of oregano. Then three days off of...
Bump....
goshawk, Yes, that's what I was looking for. What about food? Should be 2 hours away from food? Thanks. Sm....
Jinna, I remember reading early on that binders, such as activated charcoal, is not a good idea when you're on antibiotics. Because they bind something (sorry, I can't remember) that gets in the way...
. NicHostetler, I read through some of your past posts. It seems to me we're similar, in that your downturn sounds very, very much like a herx. Now, the good thing is--JK, it's working! The bad...
Hey, all. Thank you for the kind responses. I thought it was herxing, as I do feel better today. (Of course, now that I saw that, which it all act up again!) I know I was Donald Downer when I wrote...
Hey, All. I wrote a week or two ago that things were going really well. I had felt great. I've been in pulse treatment (abx) for about a year, so that means 6 months' total of meds. My LLMD switched...
Just wanted to jump in here and give people an update. I'm still grappling with the increased tinnitus/ringing in the ears. I've had good days and not so good days. About half the time it doesn't...
july morning, has it subsided at all? Or gone back to its previous levels? PeetZa, were you doing the Red Root with all the other herbs, or was that afterward? Meaning was he taking Japanese...
Hey, all. I hope you can help a bit, as I'm at a loss. First, I've had Lyme, my LLMS suspects, for five years. And I've had tinnitus for years--at least two decades. It was so minor (soft) that it...
Hello, all. I'm hoping you can give me some help and, perhaps comfort, with what I think is a herx. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm taking herbals as well as antibiotics. Right now I'm on the...
PeetZa, well, at first we thought it was a discrete amount of time that I've been infected: I saw the tick and bull's eye in June 2015. But when my LLMD, Dr. P, did more testing, especially the...
Girlie, what are your Bart symptoms?...
Yes, that is my impression, too. That's why we pulse every two weeks rather than every few days....
Thanks, all. multifacetedme, I think what Buhner is saying that the spirochetes do adapt to the herbs, just like they do to antibiotics. I'm pulsing two abxs, and have started the Cowden protocol,...
Hey, All. A question: Do herbals (specifically banderol and samento) cause the spirochetes to go into cyst form? I can't find any definitive information on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!...
There is this paper from The Journal Of Environmental And public Health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/...
Just wanted to give everyone a follow up. I went to my doctor, and he freaked out when he saw how big the bruise was. He immediately had me get an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that there was no...
Hi, Traveler. Yes, I'm very careful with what I eat. I don't have anything with vitamin K. (I am switching over to Xarelto, though. You're able to eat anything and it won't affect your blood...
Girlie, good point. I have an appointment with my doctor (PCP) on Tuesday. I'll bring the photos....
Right?!!!!! I didn't, but it's sore. I see Dr. P on the 20th. I'll definitely bring these, perhaps even email them to him before....
This is the bruise that popped up on the inside of my wrist. Like I said, it hurts, as if I bumped it somewhere. I am on blood thinners. Smead http://i68.tinypic.com/2ldaqh4.jpg ...
Anyone know how to post pictures? Would like to share....
Thanks tickbite666. I appreciate that....
Hello, all. I woke up yesterday and found I had a strange large bruise on the inside of my left wrist . Now, I am on blood thinners, so I do bruise easily. This one looks particularly large and...
I guess what I found so interesting, if I could call it that, is the diversity of my symptoms that arose. For the most part I've been just mildly affected by symptoms until this off pulse. It was the...
Hello All, I have a question about pulsing--or more specifically, reactions to pulsing. First some background. I'm with Dr. P., and he's a big proponent of pulsing. I started with Tetracycline (1500...
Hey, all. In February I stubbed my toe, which caused my big toenail to start to turn black. It didn't hurt but it eventually grew out and the top half fell off about a month ago. Still no pain still...
Girlie, I can see that. By the time I go to bed (11 to 12), I feel fine again. It's so weird though. I started pulsing (today is day 2 of no-abx), and I have seen an increase in symptoms. Wonder what...
I know we have a thread about what is our worst time of day , but I was wondering: What is your best time of day? For me, from the moment I get up until early to mid afternoon, I feel my best....
And you are my inspiration, PeteZa....
PeteZa, of course, I spoke too damn soon. My feet are acting up now--burning. Oh well, it was a nice run! k07, I'm on 1500 mg Tetra, 500 mg Azthro, and 250 mg Malarone (Fri, Sat, and Sun)....
Thanks, Traveler. I included my doc's full name because when I used the shorten version, people said he was so well known there was no need to veil it. No problem, though. I will keep you posted on...
Trav, I always feel so good when you reply! About how long I've been infected, well, that's up for contention. The tick was June 14, 2015. Bullseye about a week later. But my doc (Dr. P in Wilton)...
Hello, I'm curious if anyone has any insight. For about a week or two, I've been feeling really well. Practically no symptoms. I've gone hours and hours suddenly thought, "Wow, I haven't felt [fill...
Peteza, did you have Bart?...
PeteZa, It's weird because my feet can go cold to hot in one day. It's so frustrating. Were your cold to the touch?...
cd3764, Thanks. Don't think it's circulatory, as my feet are warm to the touch. As far as detox, I take burbur, Alka-Seltzer Gold, and lemon water; exercise almost daily; sit in the sauna; and most...
Hi, all. I've searched this forum for previous posts on the topic, but it seems as if what I'm experiencing is a bit different from what I've found. My feet are feeling extremely cold right...
Thanks, Pirouette. I didn't know how the naming thing went. I will keep you posted as to treatment. (Hopefully well!)...
Hey, dbwilco, sure. I want to be extremely careful and respectful here, because he made it clear that every patient is different and every protocol is tailored. He did start me on an antibiotic...
Actually, he's in Wilton. Had my first appt. with him yesterday. Incredibly thorough. it lasted 2 1/2 hours....
Psilociraptor, thanks. How does myelin pile up and how can it be cleared out?...
Pirouette, Yes, exactly. Sorry. Didn't know all the terminology....
Pirouette, thanks. Just to be clear, I was first treated June 20th of this year by my PCP. On July 10 of this year I started my LLMD's protocol....
