I saw a rheumatologist about 8 years ago and he concluded nothing, tried some medicine just in case but it had no effect and that was the end of that. I should see a dermatologist I suppose given...
Hi everyone! I used to post here in the Lyme forum, convinced it was lyme but after months of herbs and treatments it appears that my chronic pain is not Lyme. Previous post w/symptoms:...
Bartonella seems odd. Typically its associated with bone pain no particularly in shins/feet...I don't have anything like that....
So right now I am on a solid Buhner protocol, if this is classic Bartonella after some period of time would this in theory expose the bacteria thereby allowing to me get a Western Blot test to show...
I seriously had 3 or 4 MRIs done on that region and nothing about my discs/nerves/etc suggests any sort of swelling or problems. Sure, the usual wear and tear but nothing that quite explains....
Meningitis for 20 years seems unlikely. Multiple MRI exams on the neck and working with a neurologist would, I believe, definitely discover that. Maybe our doctors are not great at spotting Lyme, but...
Going to try zeolite spray and charcoal powder to help detox....
CRPS was never mentioned by my neurologist. But being a male in his 30s would make it a very rare case I think. Plus my symptoms do not match exactly....
So what I am confused about detox, is that it implies dieoff. I just started on herbs again but generally I take nothing at all, but yet I still get these flares all the time. So what am I exactly...
I really havent found a good way to detox Girlie :( Nothing seems to help. What are some of the most effective/popular methods? What do you do? Btw, you been treating for 3 years? Abx? Are you better?...
Interesting. Perhaps I should use a different term, but I cannot think of one. Just hurts and hurts a lot, but I have chronic pain so pain is constant. Just that these flares always make my life...
I dont think this is nerve pain. This is not tingling, I had nerve pain before in my legs and this is way different. Its deep and horrible muscle pain....
Folks, This happens to me a lot. First my symptoms (http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3770741&g=3771487#m3771487) My most specific areas of concern is my neck pain, shoulder...
Yeah I answered all of the same questions from another forum members in a different thread. Tests are all negative and I got a 56 on the questionnaire :(...
I appreciate the words of wisdom regarding patience and long cycle, but again, who knows that I even have Lyme. I just have nothing else and all other tests/scans/examinations come up clean. Feeling...
Not interested in kratom due to its opiate-like behavior. I want long term natural symptom resolution not pain masking....
2-6 months wow. Long haul. I find that interesting in general. People take pharma drugs and we generally expect to see benefits within days. Perhaps that is just the difference, but seems like an...
Quick question. For those who have sought out treatment through herbs how quickly before you began to notice *any* improvement. For those who saw my previous posts, I suffer from severe chronic pain,...
Can I order these myself or has to be physician requested?...
PeteZa, well going to hope the core protocol will do something. Can you tell me what you have added beyond the core please? astroman: I can request Igenix for sure, seems like a reasonable price to...
Hmm, I never did those types of fancy tests. No mold tests for example. If I was exposed it would have been 2 decades ago, would the CD57 test show anything? I have neuro issues: sleep is terrible....
Well I suppose the question is whether I have any critters to begin with. All lab work is clean, no inflammation markers in blood and Thyroid levels are perfect. In fact past few years due to Paleo...
astroman: Yeah, everything you are describing I have tried in one way or another. Own a theracane and have aggressively tried to work out my knots with all sorts of ways. No improvement sadly....
I do not have candida, had a very extensive stool sample test - but another test confirmed leaky gut. I also eat zero added sugar and almost no grains. Yet my dandruff now is worse than ever before...
Fancy that, I always felt worse after massages. People love them and I continued to do them thinking I needed to stretch my tight fascia - but it never actually helped. What is the biological...
astroman, Nice to hear from a fellow myofascial sufferer and it is by far the biggest contributor to my poor quality of life. The dandruff, ED and sleep problems are bad, but chronic 24/7 pain is...
OK thanks guys. I have also what seems like uncurable dermatitis where no amount of anti-fungual or topical tea tree/vinegar/coconut helps. Wondering if that is related. I am going with capsules. It...
Is this a rather common affliction? Been busily reading Buhner's book and there is not a ton of references to this type of symptom. Joint/arthritis stuff sure, but nothing myofascial. 20 years I have...
I have the book coming and I got the combo herb pill from Green Dragons Botanicals which includes Knotwood/Cats claw/2 others? I also have another persistent symptom which may or may not be related,...
The test is $500! Can't find anyone that has tried it and people seem to be warning against it, even if I do two months of herbs that is still way cheaper as a way to deduce. I would just be so happy...
julymorning: Yeah I ordered the book myself but from the looks of it the herbal approach will not be cheap, especially given the time people are on it. However it also appears that within a month or...
I am back after a long absence. Still no diagnosis, but visits to neurology and pain management have ruled out all major diseases. MS, stenosis, diabetes, etc, all ruled out. Blood work is great, all...
Has anyone here tried the Buhner protocol for herbs?...
Hey folks, I doubt I am the first to share my story and follow it with the next to impossible question of whether I have Lyme or not, but I have nowhere else to turn. I am 31, have been living in the...
