Garzie, So helpful and very much agreed. No way around it abx make us feel worse before better. I think it's why most (all?) get PTSD when they are suggested. I swore I would never take them again...
Girlie, Your growing family makes me so happy. We've all come a long way. Love that you got to Hawaii and got to witness a heart moving ceremony surrounded by such love and natural beauty. I would...
Garzie, Thank you. It sounds like you tolerate antibiotics very well. I do not. I was nodding in agreement at so much of your post, as I think many of us agree -the misdiagnosis, the winding road,...
Thank you Garzie, I appreciate you responding makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing. I know taking antibiotics is a hard choice for many of us who had too many in the past and who don't want...
Girlie!!! Whilst happy to be reading anything from you again, and so sorry you had a UTI on holiday. A big smile came across my face re: Your son's (I won't write his name) wedding!!!!!! So happy for...
Sara, Thank you! Just hearing your opinion helps me feel better, as well as the reminder that many of us have/had setbacks and the herxes will pass. I appreciate you weighing in! The e-coli colonies...
Noxon, Hi. Yes, I've had glycemic issues since getting Lyme. Similar to you - fatigue, hunger and light headedness if I do too much. My numbers have been high in the past. Even before lyme I eat...
Hello yeah it's been a while, not much how bout you? Lyme dr thought I was in remission -I was well over six months without a relapse. Until... Long story but have been sick for almost two months....
Thank you for this - you have given me inspiration. Even before LD I was very into wellness and exercise so sleep/diet/exercise was not a problem. For me stopping exercise was depressing. I'm not...
The kinds words were effortless. Thank you for the link. I noticed you are back to weights. May I ask when you were able to do that and what you can do? Before LD I was very into bodybuilding and...
Hi Garzie! You made my day. I'm so happy. So impressed by how much you know. I'll get full results tomorrow but you have lifted my spirits and I'm now more hopeful. I'm not exaggerating when I say...
Girlie!!! Hello old friend. Yesterday I talked his GP into a longer Rx. He will take Doxcy for 14 days then we will get him to Kansas clinic. I get full tick report Monday. What I received so far is:...
I'm so sorry Forest, and you have a right to vent and if this forum provides a place for you to release then that's a good thing. This. is a group that understand all the interlayered symptoms that...
So get my son on Doxcy? Predominant information pending and available Monday. As of now report has uncovered: TICK TYPE: Amblyomma spp. Amblyomma tick SEX: unknown TYPE: nymph Status: Partially Fed...
Thank you. ONE MORE QUESTION: If doctor won't prescribe more Doxcy but I have some from 2017 (has been in fridge) is it safe take? Possibly inert? Or toxic? ================================ Edit -...
Thank you so much. I'm supposed to hear from tick lab today as to whether: tick fully engorged, carried LD and cos. I'm pretty sure I know the answer. I totally agree with you about the gut. Gut has...
Thank you Saraeli, He has done the Doxcy course, but new protocol is only one dose/two 100 mg pills at same time. Doctor won't prescribe more. I've been putting salve of: activated charcoal,...
Forest, I'm sorry. I read that Lyme loves soft tissues and can create dental issues. I remember shortly after being diagnosed I had to have crowns, oral surgery, etc... I never had dental issues....
Forest, Hi. Sorry you are going through this. I agree, I like hearing stories as well. They make me feel hopeful. My son and myself both had late stage LD. I was diagnosed with thyroid, fibromyalgia...
Hello old (and new) friends. I can't believe I'm back here again. No offense. I hope all of you are on the road to wellness. As some of you know, like many of you, my son and I went through late...
Sunfun, Hi. Looks like you are pretty well taken care of with the wise advice given here (and so nice of you DJV). I just want to offer my two cents. My son and I were on the Jernigan herbs for a...
Girlie, Hi. Not sure. I want to space it out as well. Not sure I'll do eight weeks with how the numbers are going in NYC. Today I'm having another headache so need to balance out a bit more. Maybe...
Ice baths??? You guys are so much braver than I am. How long and do you do them outside on a 99 degree day? That's a joke. I can't imagine an ice bath....
Thanks! I've seen specials on WF and have done breathing classes by someone trained in his method. Just ordered the first book you mentioned. Excited. Your sharing this has given me hope. I was...
Deepsleep, Thanks. How long have you been doing it. Sounds like the cold water may be the secret ingredient. I'll start today. Will check out the book - thank you....
Garzie, I'm so impressed by your fitness routine. Question, and you don't have to answer if this is too personal but are you a male or a female? Your mention of socializing, driving, etc... is really...
Chick, Great to hear your vaccine experience. Sounds like it is a positive one. Lucky! I agree, we've all probably had relapses/herxes that are worse. It does feel like a relief to have gotten it and...
Please keep us posted. I'm so fascinated by this. Are you also doing the cold water part? I don't do that part as much. Interesting about the toxins/herx - I wonder what that is about but I would...
Garzie, Your post is so helpful. Thank you. So you do fast walking and then how much weight do you lift and do you limit the reps/time? I really want to build back up. I take vitamin C but for some...
I concur. I had two root canals/crowns before knowing about LD. Every time I go to dentist it would herx from a few weeks. Doctor explained how LD loves the soft tissues/gums. I also had head pain...
Well your mouth to God's ears! I hope second one is better. Thanks for sharing about your experience and your friend's. So nice you are doing it together. Let us know how it goes. I loved "I felt...
Yes and it's awful. Before LD my passion was exercise. I would lift every day for an hour, then do cardio for 45 minutes, then walk home, etc... love it. Now nothing. All I seem to be able to...
I love this post. In the beginning of Covid I watched a special on Wim Hof. There is also someone who does WH breathing classes at local meditation place I do virtually. When learning about Hof, I...
Astroman, Sounds like you are back to base line and did great. Glad you also had a nice pharmacist. I find that many know about LD now. The issue is they think all LD is the same. I hear all the time...
Not whining at all. Many are feeling as you do. The virus will be over and you and your husband will travel. I miss traveling so much. I just want to see my mom. She is in a nursing home in a major...
Astro, You are doing just fine because you still have your sense of humor. I literally LOL'd (correct usage of the word) at "you swim right?" I've heard the Wim Hof method (cold water) is showing...
Deepsleep, I totally agree with you. The way the unvaccinated are being treated isn't fair. Where we live you are treated as ignorant and like a leper in unvaccinated. Everyone is lumped into one...
Girlie, Not sure when it is official. I think September....
Deepsleep, I hope you are right but not really convinced that is the case with this virus. Before LD I was very healthy and fit. Can't workout like I used to have still strict with: diet,...
Girlie, I think you are making the right choice. I've been reading more and more that spacing them out if much better for anyone with LD. Also read a few studies (I believe they were out of UK and...
I am forever impressed with how much you all know, and your dedication to research. I appreciate you all....
I had zero arm pain. We're all so different....
Well it is mounting an immune response. I also think it sort of scans the body and goes to all the weak/LD points. I'm super sensitive and could feel it going to different areas but quickly gone. You...
Thank you. I'll research a bit more. Appreciate the links. Horse paste? Oh my......
How do you guys get Ivermectin? What is it used for, meaning what is it's intended use? Anyone herx from it? Thanks. I may want to get some to have on hand....
Astroman, I was thinking about you yesterday. I'm sorry your arm is sore. That is very common. My meditation teacher advised thinking about the vaccine as a healing frequency that could be saving...
Astroman, Hi. Please let us know how you do. I'll be thinking of you. I was so anxious over this that I worked myself up. I didn't want to do it but I am beyond relieved that I did. Yesterday was one...
Thanks Bailey, your mouth to God's ears. Sorry your family had Covid but glad they are ok now :) Onward and upward for us all....
Bailey, Hi - and hi to everyone else. Thanks for checking in. I meant to update you guys. I'm good but I still have a headache and today is day six. It's also not all the time. It's tolerable and I...
OMG so sorry for the TMI. Sorry you had a stone and hope that everything is resolved. My brother often gets bladder infections. So guys can get them. He does D-mannose, oil of oregano and an herbal...
