I was taking fish oil because I had high inflammatory markers on my blood work, but it seems to cause me issues. Maybe the really expensive stuff would not, but it is $60 a month. I slept great with...
Does anyone seem to have problems with various supplements. It seems that fish oil and magnesium rev me up something awful. I want to take them because the have so many positive benefits, but I can't...
It doesn't help that I just went through a divorce after 35 years of marriage, was dumped a house to sell, had to buy a new house, and adult children are not helping or understanding!! Ugh!!...
I need to look at this list. It seems like I am sensitive to so many things now....
Is anyone using BLt Microbial Balancer? My doctor had me start it last week. I started with 4 drops a day and I am two work up to 20 drops twice a day. I feel like rubbish, but not sure if this...
My neurotransmitters were tested and I as very high in glutamate. I took some supplements and it seemed to resolve it. I actually felt so great that I forgot I had Lyme. My Lyme doc put me on omega 3...
Does anyone have a reaction to fish oil? I tried it before I was diagnosed with Lyme and it made the anxiety a lot worse, so I stopped it. Fast forward three years and I started it again on July 8....
I am right behind you. How many mg. are you on? From what I understand it generally takes 4-6 weeks to notice anything. We are always waiting for something around here!...
How long have you been on it? I know what you mean. Anxiety is by far my worse symptom....
I hope I have the success you are having on Zoloft. I know what you mean about it getting dangerous. How did your start up go? I am doing okay, but I just don't feel well. It is probably a...
I have tried several ADs over the last three years and finally gave up. A few weeks ago I couldn't stand it anymore and asked to try yet another one. I think I feel bad from the start up. I am going...
I hope the Cymbalta works for you. I have never tried that one....
I had just weaned off Trazodone right before the Lyme dx. It was helping me sleep. I can't seem to figure out how to get any sleep....
I agree! :-)...
Yeah, I have asked millions of Lyme questions. The AD is the newest thing for me. It sounds like I need to hang in there for a month or so and then hopefully I will get some relief....
Bigcat, Was the first few weeks a little rough when you started? I know what you mean....trying to figure out why we feel so bad. So, it sounds like the anxiety is pretty much under control for you...
Thanks Bigcat! That gives me hope that an AD might help....
Thanks Traveler, When the anxiety and depression started and I didn't have the LD dx. I tried a ton of different ADs. I could not tolerate any of them. I was also put on Xanax, which never did much...
I will have mine tested at the end of the month. I have been taking two different Transfer Factor products in hopes of getting my immune system going. My doctor has had success with this protocol. I...
I just couldn't handle the depression and anxiety and requested a low dose antidepressant. I started 12.5 mg of Zoloft for one week and then increased to 25 mg 6 days ago. I feel dreadful right now,...
I have both low estrogen and progesterone. I have tried progesterone four times in both oral and cream in different amount and my body just doesn't like it. I have more anxiety and severe depression...
If I get up in the night, I take activated charcoal. Maybe I need to be more deligent....
I was thinking that backing off the Cat's Claw might be the best things to do. Since I am taking it in pill form, I will need to go to my previous dose....
Happy Hoildays to everyone! I held off making changes to my protocol until after Christmas Day. Yesterday I increased Cat's Claw and a Transfer Factor. I am also working on getting my hormones...
Interesting! Prevention seems like a lofty goal, but one I am hoping they shoot for. Right now I just wish the CDC and insurance companies would recognize the extent of it so people can get...
I have that problem and started using Swiss Kriss, an herbal laxative. It definitely does the job, if you know what I mean. I was taking 2 before bed, but I think I will back down to 1. I also have...
That was my first antibiotic and I am on it now again. I see my doctor on Tuesday to see where we go from here....
pmm73, I have those days like you are having right now. It sucks! They were from everyday for ever and ever. Now I get a few decent days a week. I pray I will continue to get more and more decent...
Of course after I post this, I have a raging headache and my teeth hurt! UGH!...
I definitely have chronic lyme. Once I started mapping out my whole health history with me doctor, I have probably had it for at least 20 years. I constantly would have strange, seemingly unrelated...
I have been treating Lyme, Babesia and Ehrilchia since late September and I am starting to see some positive improvements. People are starting to notice that I have moments where I am closer to how I...
Thanks Traveler! I have to be careful because I take NatureThroid at 5 am. It will be hard to find a 4 hour window when I am not taking something! YIKES!...
I am glad you found something to help with panic attacks, agitation, distress, and depression. I can tolerate most of the physical pain, but the psychological stuff is horrible for me. I have...
I just started using Pinella. The first two days I used 5 drops once a day and had a different odd head feeling. Today I decided to try only 3 drops and still feel weird in the head. I started using...
Crazy isn't it? It is always a "different kind" of lousy!...
I am finding myself more agitated and just grumpy....plus hot and sweaty all the time. My sleep is the pits! I am going to talk to my doctor about hormones next week. My estrogen and progesterone...
I had carpal tunnel surgery yeas before I was diagnosed for Lyme. Guess what? I still have the issues the surgery was suppose to take care of. 😟...
Thanks for sharing! This gives me hope that I will be better one day!...
I sent you the name of mine in Fishers....
pmm73 said... I've been getting nerve like pain through my teeth (even one that's already had a root canal). Seems to go away once I take Activated Charcoal!!! I need to look into that then!...
I am not a "younger folk" either! :-(...
tickbite666 said... I'm the worse one for encouragement.... I started treatment in March 2010. Most folks get better much faster. I'm a complex case still experimenting with both ABX and herbal...
tickbite666 said... No, it's not yet under control... still working on the last 20% That's the hardest part. You are getting there! How long have you been at this? I have only been taking antibiotics...
tickbite666 said... I also had tooth pain before diagnosis. Thought I had a deep cavity or an abscess and saw a dentist, who found nothing. He would have given me ABX if it continued, but it would...
I don't know what you mean. My teeth have been checked and the teeth themselves are fine....
My front teeth hurt so much! I notice the pain comes on and then I start getting anxious. Has anyone had relief from tooth pain? If so, what did you do? I have using clove on my teeth and that only...
I just wish I knew how to calm my central nervous system. Is killing the bacteria the only way? I have some supplements that help a little, but I am still on edge a lot....
I would be thrilled not to have the Babs co-infection. That means healing might take place a little faster. The anxiety/depression, teeth/jaw pain, muscle spasms in my shoulders, and insomnia with...
I have no idea. I didn't think the test meant much anyway. I am just trying to trust my doctor knows what he is doing....
My doctor was hesitate to start estrogen and progesterone while starting treatment for Lyme. I see him on Dec. 6th, so maybe we can address the hormones again. So many of my systems could be Lyme or...
