Thanks, Lanie. Our 4 year old has celiac so our whole family only eats meats, veggies and fruits. We don't eat anything processed at all. Should we limit fruits? He has an appointment with a...
My 3 year old was admitted into the hospital earlier this week due to increased drinking, eating and peeing along with personality changes and blood sugar of 241. They immediately ruled out type 1...
Thank you both so much! We have an appointment for pediatric rheumatology at the university of Michigan. Her immunologist is concerned and is trying to get her in quickly, so I'm hoping that we can...
Hello, It looks like my 4 year-old daughter has Lupus. We're still navigating getting an official diagnosis, but here is what we have so far. Positive ANA (at 1:1280) Sed Rate of 69 Mildly low WBC...
And that does make me feel a bit better. Thank you...
Not really. I'm either working or chasing kids or running a farm.... sigh. I'm resting at the moment. No choice in the matter....
So I'm totally, completely unable to keep up my end of the work, house duties and child rearing. The house is a disaster, the kids a running a muck and it's all I can do to pull it together for 30...
Hi guys. Sorry for being so slow.... Lyme happened. Anyway, yes, Girlie, that's what it is. I'm not real familiar with it so I'm not sure how it works. Here's a link:...
Hi Friends, Two totally unrelated people have referred the same naturopath to me within 3 days. I believe that God guides you where you should go so I'm considering that this may be his prompting....
I doEPSOM bath every day. Maybe that's so I can get away from the 2 year old and 4 year old. ;)...
Before I knew I had Lyme and was diagnosed with a ton of stuff that I didn't actually have, I did GF. That helped, but no cure. GF/DF helped even more. Then I went to paleo and that helped a lot. I...
I love OPC-3. My dad was using it for arthritis and convinced me to try it. I've been using it off and on about 4 years now. Off when I'm feeling good. On when my knees hurt. Shop.com is where I get...
Thanks, mm. Hi Joe! Maybe start a new thread on that so that anyone who's already viewed this one will see your question....
I love this forum. Such a good discussion and so much to research now.......
I highly recommend the book, nourishing broth. Great science and awesome beginner recipes!...
Thanks, Girlie... we've had 3 miscarriages in 6 years after 4 years of infertility and I'm scheduled to get my ovaries out due to a significant risk of ovarian cancer (My mom and several family...
I started making my own. Vodka, a drop of olive oil, essential oils (lavender, peppermint, tea tree) and water. So far no ticks in the house and we're having an epidemic in our county this year. Last...
I usually get that right before a migraine. I've had that my whole life so I think that's separate from Lyme....
Hi Anna, We've had great luck with bone broth, sauerkraut and whole milk (raw) plain yogurt. Watch out for the sauerkraut and start slow. I had a bad herx on that. ACV did give me a herx so I had to...
okay. So this is not a smart a#$ question, but I know it's going to come off as one.... I've been wondering this for a while. I've read a lot of information about Lyme&co on this forum and on medical...
Thanks, guys! I guess I'll be looking into bart too! Wait! Time out! Borrelio! Are you telling me that nail ridges habe something to do with this?!? I have nail ridges and have always wondered what I...
Thanks, guys. I appreciate your responses. Mm57553, what is the title of that book?...
PS... what is bart again? I know it's one of the &co in Lyme & co, but I want to research it using the full name....
Thanks guys. I know that the toe issues and hand issues are related because if my hands are cramping and weak, then my toes seem to be as well. I also have an injury from about 10 years ago thday...
Thanks, Traveler! I was symptom free for 8 months so we thought it would be okay to get pregnant. Then right after our miscarriage in March, the symptoms started to return. So, unfortunately, I think...
Can someone point me to some information on getting pregnant and Lyme? My husband and I would like to have one more child. I'm having my ovaries removed in about a year and a half due to a severely...
This is fascinating. My family eats a boat load of salt and I swore that I felt better with the high quality sea salt. Maybe I'm not crazy......
Hi Friends, My Lyme seems to be back in full force. My stress level is through the roof (although I've left a job that was causing anxiety attacks so I'm much better after that) andI stopped eating...
And I suppose, to answer your question. I was not able to exercise on AP diet and never got enough calories despite eating a ton. It also gave me migraines...
Hi bmboerg, AP diet did a little bit of good for reducing symptoms, but it caused problems with cognition for me. So our family switched toa modified version of GAPS/paleo and that did WONDERS....
Thanks, blue. I've been debating starting... maybe I just needed to hear it from someone else...
Bummer. I'm in Michigan. We're also navigating debilitating MCAS and leaky gut with her....
My kinsiologist/chiropractor suspected parasites so hee sent me to this website http://www.parasitetesting.com. He's not affiliated with them, but really likes their products. I ordered from them,...
So I think I've established on my post earlier that my 4 year old has classic Lyme rash. Luckily our family doc dealt with this with me and I think he'll treat her while I wait to get her into an...
Thanks, PeteZa! I just saw your post... apparently I'm not smart with to click on page 2. Oy......
this is awesome! But my daughter is only 4 and we didn't find a tick. Although I've found them in my house and we had a confirmed case of Lyme carrying tick in our county last week. So the county is...
Thanks guys. Pirouette... did you look at the pictures? Does it look EM to you?...
Okay. Here are the links to the photos. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/jlingles3/20170517_130259_zpsszq1nuts.jpg The pictures aren't the best because of my phone so keep in mind that it's...
So my daughter's immunologist (for her MCAS) wants to "watch it" because it isn't dark enough. I explained to him that the picture makes it appear lighter than it is, but he's not all that impressed....
T, yes. Her will see her and treat her. I already called his office to see what he wants to do. PeteZa, I'm going to PM you so I can email it...
then what PeteZa? Click on the IMG thing?...
So I am not seeing an LLMD as my PCP has been more than comfortable treating me because the bloodwork was positive. She has three same PCP and I just called him to see what he wants to do. I'll...
Hi friends, Sorry I've been MIA for so long. It's been a little chaotic here. Right after my mother -in- law died, our daughter started having severe medical issues, then we had a miscarriage and my...
Hi Friends, So my 3 year old has MCAS. We're still in the process of finding out of she has lyme. In the mean time, the MCAS has pretty much put our whole lives in a tail spin. I know a lot of lyme...
Prayers to you!!!! And hugs! And more prayers!!...
So I was supposed to start a new herbal protocol for parasites last month, but I wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving travels since my doctor wants me on a strict diet with it. Well, the travels...
Hi cowbell. You said that you have a thyroid issue. Do you take this before, with or after your thyroid med in the morning?...
Hi Outscruff, I didn't have herx symptoms very much at all with my treatment this summer, but now that my lyme treatment is over my symptoms are pretty much gone. My doctor said that that alone...
Awesome! Thanks!...
I'll have to try that. I tried just broth today and it was an epic failure...
