Hi all! Hope you are all having a good day. I just have a question. A few years ago I had a lyme test done through Igenix. When I received the test back it showed a variety of test for the IGG and...
If you have taken antibiotics it could be that your gut flora is unbalanced. If you look in the New to Lyme start here, there is a post from Cajun girl (I think it is like the 10th post down) on gut...
Mike, welcome to the forum. You have friends here. People who will listen because we know what you are feeling. It is so hard to go through this with the denial of the disease all around us. People...
For me the leg weakness and fatigue were my worst symptoms. I started Buhner's protocol a year ago and have found Eleuthero used before 4 pm for fatigue and Muscle Tone by Woodland's Essence to be...
Joee and Nosila, thank you for the expertise of your experience! Those are the things I was worried about....
Thank you everyone, These are all great suggestions. For me the Bilberry and Stephania did not help with the light sensitivity. I am hoping the glasses will help until I go into remission from this...
For the last couple years I have noticed that I always need the sun visor in the car, even on cloudy days. The computer screen is intolerable at times as well as reading. I am now realizing that I...
aphysicalwrek, I have used Green Vibrance and each time I get diarrhea and terrible gas which makes me sad, because it is so healthy and I even enjoy it with some frozen bananas in it....
Hi Wesley, I am so sorry that you are dealing with all of this. I do believe that you are on the right track in suspecting Lyme, however. I went through similar symptoms for years without getting a...
Liamb, I am so sorry you are going through this. It is a desperate feeling for sure. It is very common with Lyme to have all the testing just to find nothing. And I think that makes the ordeal even...
I like Iherb. I wish they carried everything. Delivery is always quick and free- if I wait and order several things at once....
Oh it is awful! For a very long time just showering and then having to dry my hair was such a struggle. I do think it has gotten better since i have been doing Buhner's protocol....
bump...
Liam, I feel so bad that you are going through this. Please don't ever feel as though you are just complaining. We all complain here if you want to call it that because there is no place else to go...
Yes, I agree and am also thankful to the mods and regulars. I think one of the reasons why there is so much dedication to this site is that Lyme is the one disease that gets such negative attention....
Hi Emily, Kudzu is one of those that I had to take very slowly. For some reason the first two times I tried it I broke out with light hives on my back. I started it again a couple months ago, just...
I have experienced those things as well. Those symptoms are not nearly as severe however. I actually had forgotten about the numb bumcheek. The skin on my thighs and bum are always cold however. The...
Hello Lostcoast, I really don't have anything to add. It is a real nightmare for sure. One of the hardest things is being sick but most people just don't get it. Cancer, MS, Fibro all of these...
Welcome! I just recently started taking the capsules as I found the tincture for me wasn't working as well. I have to say I am walking a little easier and wondering if it may be the JK. As for the...
It almost always affects me three days before. It will last for a couple days and by the actual day of the full moon I am usually fine! :yeah: It makes no sense to me but I cannot deny how I feel! It...
So glad to hear that your immune system is "kind of" up and running again! :yeah: Givs us all hope that even after fighting the Lyme monster twice their can be healing! I'm happy for you....
3HumpedCamel, Thank you for this information. I appreciate your taking the time to post it! Its a lot to take in so and a little over this lyme head of mine so I will be looking deeper into it. Have...
3humpedcamel, thank you for sharing that! Girlie, The WBC is 5.7. It looked like it was within range. julymorning, thank you for the information!...
I just got some tests results back from my LLMD. The results say I have a "very high level" of Eosinphil cationic protein. I don't even know what that is! Can anyone help me? :confused:...
Liamb123, I see things moving all the time. It is pretty common I think. Also I hear things (not voicesi) and I smell things that are not there. Especially natural gas, burning electrical and...
I also use the Pinella and Burbur. I have found the best price through Natural Healthy Concepts and they don't charge shipping. I am not affiliated with it in any way. I get the bad headaches too. My...
That is really good to hear! I am happy for you =)...
I have been prescribed flagyl repeatedly for different reasons and each time the neuropathy got worse. There was a definite connection. I am finally getting some relief with Sida Cordifolia a year...
I have been doing Buhners herb only protocol. My llmd suggested Neuroflam. I am taking it but no results yet, although I just realized I wasn't taking the full dose. She said it works well. We will...
According to the LLMD that I am seeing, you should try to work through the herx by detoxing. She believes that you should detox daily and extra when herxing, which is pretty much what is taught on...
Wwelcome, Pugmom! I am so sorry you have lyme but glad you found it. Best wishes for healing!...
Hi Georgia, Thank you for the research that you are so diligent in and so willing to share with us! I am wondering if you have any information on the "light box therapy" used to treat SAD in the...
We have United Healthcare. They would not re-imburse me for Igenix but did take it off the deductible. I haven't been prescribed any med by my LLMD as of yet so don't know about that but I would...
Thank you for the article. It is quite alarming. I have been on this drug for 30 some years. I think maybe I will try and wean off of it. I just hope I can without any repercussions....
My sister just got C-dif after being put on abx in the hospital for an infected port. The Dr. told her to just be really careful when using the restroom. That she needs to disinfect the bathroom with...
Thanks, July. I don't trust the chemicals much either now that I have learned about the lies that are out there from the pharmaceuticals, but I have been on the prozac as well as another...
Huddie, I am so sorry! I believe it is really best for you with the plateful of lyme that you deal with but that sure doesn't make it any easier. I had to quit my career in fashion as well. It took...
Can anyone help? My LLMD wants me to get more sleep. I thought I was, but she feels I need more, so she is suggesting tryptophan. I looked it up and read a study on using prozac and tryptophan...
Wow....these people have no conscience whatsoever. This is only one of the organizations facilities. I wonder how many others are out there to put us at risk....
I am so sorry that it is flaring again, but am glad you are not letting it go. Hopefully others who deal with babesia will be along and can advise you better than I can. If you are able to read...
Honest to goodness, I just don't understand. Why do they fight so hard not to recognize lyme. I just can't believe it is insurance related because they pay out so much money for other diseases. (ie:...
Good for you! I hope it helps. According to my LLMD she says the rebounding is great for lymphatic. She also says that there is no need to jump, that bouncing is ok. Probably easier on the joints...
Huddie, I am so sorry you are going through this. I send up prayers for you. Marriage, motherhood and life is difficult enough without lyme thrown in the mix. =-( Hopefully your husband will see the...
Blue eyed girl, Welcome! I am glad that you have found us and hope that you will find the hope and help that you need through all the fighters on this forum. I have to agree with julymorning. Detox...
Catherinelymie, Welcome to the forum. I am glad you have joined us. I would have your heart checked just to make sure you are okay. With Lyme you can often come out a-ok on heart issues but still...
I have done what Traveler said and it does work well. Often times I find that each half of the egg will just separate from the shell. I also find eggs that are fresh are harder to peel....
Joanie, Good morning. I just wanted to let you know that a nurse I met said she was cured of Lyme through abx and cbd. She used a product called "Gold" something or other from HolisticHopefl.com. I...
Dismissed, I am so sorry you are in this position. Many are and it is heartbreaking. On the first page of the "New to Lyme" post there is a post by Cajun Girl that has info about prescription help....
Longjourney, Welcome I am so glad you joined! What wonderful news. It is always so good to hear of healing. It gives the rest of us hope! Thank you so much for sharing....
