I did not. I don't believe anyone ever answered my thread about that. I am in the Bangor Maine area. I also need to make sure it is someone who can take my insurance as I don't have the $$ to do it...
I was diagnosed with Long term, chronic Lyme back in September. I did not have positive blood tests but, due to symptoms, my doctor diagnosed me and did a month of Doxy. After the month was up, she...
I am currently self treating but, I have not had a test. How can you get an Adrenal test? I do not currently have a Lyme doc (waiting for my first meeting in April with a potential one). I have...
But, aren't the tests that they do and pull the blood from DNA? If not, why can't they just extract the DNA from the blood?...
Yea, you did misunderstand. Meaning ... doctors today test and they can't see it in your blood unless you had recently been infected. Does that mean that this guy got it right before he died or had...
Last night, I was watching an amazing documentary about Otzi - the Iceman mummy found in Europe. As they were studying his DNA, they discovered that he not only was predisposed to heart disease but...
Traveller, yes ... and I am always the one to be SUPER cautions. The reasons that this seems interesting to me is A) she is a medical doctor as well (in the ER at a very well known hospital) B) a lot...
Good Afternoon fellow Lyme Warriors! I wanted to share a really crazy experience I had this week. I recently reconnected with a friend from high school. She is a doctor in the ER at our local...
bump...
Hi folks, I bought the Buhner Book but I have a very hard time concentrating in order to read it. My brain goes 1000 other places when I sit down to read. Would someone be able to give a quick low...
The doctors/nurses at my local hospital are suggesting it, saying they have seen great results with Lyme patients .... So, I don't know. I mean, $40 a month, they say it takes at least 3 months .......
What herbals work for yeast? that may be an issue with me. Also, any thoughts on Protandim? I was just suggested this by my doctor.......
YES 3HumpedCamel. That is my BIGGEST pet peeve. Everyone tells me that I'm just not doing enoughof A, B or C. When I tell them all of the things I've tried, I typically get "well, keep trying sport!...
That is great news for you, 3HumpedCamel. Are you on ABX or herbal? Has anyone heard of Protandim? I've been told this suppliment is working wonders for some?...
Hi all, It's been a while since I was here. Since the last time, the disease has moved to my shoulders, hip and left knee (in terms of joint pain). I also have had more fatigue in the past month and...
I will....
I haven't been detoxing like I should because I have been super overwhelmed with work and health and trying to find a LLD up in my area. Booked my first APpointment for 2 weeks from today. I actually...
Over the last week or so the slight jaw pain (in my left jaw) has gotten worse. It's to the point where it hurts to eat. It doesn't ache or hurt unless I open my mouth to chew. Any advice on how to...
Sativa made me really sick. I had a CRAZY high reaction and then it developed into a headache and dizziness that lasted for hours. Needless to say, that one is definitely sitting on the top shelf....
Thank you, Traveler. I think my main challenge is finding which things (naturally) out of the GOBS of advised supplements, I need to start with. I have the Buhrners book but, since i have such a...
Hi all, So, for those who don't know my story, I was diagnosed by a doctor with Chronic long term lyme. This was after multiple years of weird issues and bloodwork that came back perfect. My main...
Rikky, I had the behind the knee ones too. I almost feel like those are the worst!! So hard to sit/stand. Blargh....
This symptom seemed to only occur when I was on Doxy for the month. Since being off, I don't get this as often....
Hello all, I have combed through all of these topics. I have bought the Buhners book. I have attempted to find a LLMD in my area and... I am struggling. I have a very difficult time concentrating. I...
Hoping to find others in the state to chat with/meet up with/share stories/share advice.... Specific to this state and what we are lacking......
I was "diagnosed" by a Nurse Practicioner. She put me on one month of Doxy and that was it. She said she doesn't know enough to go further with my treatment but, I'm unable to find a Lyme Literate...
I had just woken up. This time. In the past, I've been at my computer at work both other times I had the issue. This time, I woke up and got up to use the rest room and was so dizzy I almost fell...
Hi all, So, in my life, I have (now) had 3 very odd moments. The past 2 times, I went to the hospital with my symptoms because it felt like I was having a stroke. This time, It was the same symptoms...
We have a gentleman, who is a Chiropractor, in our area who has been diagnosing and treating Lyme. He doesn't diagnose with a blood test. He puts certain things in/on your hand and see's how you...
I have put on over 45lbs in the past year. I am in the same boat. Trying to get back in to my doctor to have them test my Thyroid differently than they did the first time.... but, in the meantime, I...
Hi All, Struggling with finding a Lyme literate doctor (who will take me) and who accepts major medical. The few that I have found have chosen not to accept insurance and are charging $400 per...
All over. Definitely. My mid section and thighs have bared the brunt but, it's all over. My body has NEVER looked like this before....
I have actually posted them on another thread and everyone said that they were normal. I'm not 100% sure it's Thyroid but, with all the lymphnode swelling and the fact that this is obviously related...
Hi again, So, my thyroid tests are all negative. However, I have put on 30lbs since March of this year. I have drastically changed my diet and excersize as MUCH as possible. I use to do 2 hours a day...
It almost feels like a Herx. Though, I haven't experienced the high ring/full ear feeling when Herxing before. The headache is also new. Any idea how long the Herx should last? Should I take more...
So, I was recently given my Medical MJJ card. I did some research and got a tincture of pure CBD oil. Low THC. She said most people take 5 drops per need. I did 2 in the AM and 3 at night. Each time,...
What do you know?...
Ugh. Still an issue with the $$. I'm so beyond frustrated with the cost of trying to heal my body. SO frustrated!...
@bluelyme - where do I order that? @Girlie - it's a matter of finding one that I can afford. They are few and far between where I live ... and the couple I have found are $400 per session and I can't...
These are all the labs I've had done .... Hard to know what to ask when my doctor isn't fully lyme aware either....
Apparently, totally normal for the regular test. I didn't do the iGenX tests....
Hi all, Do you see anything on here that screams abnormal? These are ALL the blood labs they have done, over the past few months. Creatine Kinase - 10/19/2016 RESULTS VALUE REFERENCE RANGE creatine...
Thanks 1000daisies. I didn't do IGenX yet because of $$. Everything I have had done, I've had done via regular doctor because insurance covers it. It's an issue of $$ for a lot of this. The other...
I am unsure if she did a coritsol test or not. I know she did a T4 and they did a Thyroid test a few months back. As soon as I get all my labs back, I'll post them and - maybe you all can help me...
My tests were all through LLMD. I have requested all of my blood work tests and I will post them on the forum when I get them from my provider....
Good Morning, Something that I have been struggling with this morning; every one of my blood tests have come back normal Not JUST the Lyme but, all of the minerals, liver/kidney/muscle/thyroid...
What if I don't know my co-infections. Like you, I was clinically diagnosed with Lyme due to Bells Palsy being in my past (when I was 10) and other symptoms. Doctor tests came back negative. One...
For Chronic lyme ... primarily joint issues/brain issues/fatigue, etc. Which book and which herb website to I go to!? Having a hard time decifering all of the threads....
Can you explain some of the acroynms you are using? Like BVT? Still new .......
The other challenge is the test. I tested negative on the tests here and it's $780 to get the IgenX test which would tell me my co-infections. Again, not something I have the $ for. Especially since...
