Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also sorry for the loss of your mother. Are you feeling any better?...
Thanks gabybee! I know the feeling all too well. Now I don't know how strong or serious your relationship was, but I tell you this, if my gf stood by me and had not given me further grief, I would...
God bless you Walking by Faith for responding! I am also sorry for what you are going through and hope God has a good plan for us. The thing is you at least were able to get disability. Since I had...
On another note... I am even embarrassed to talk about it....Has anyone else here with Lyme felt they have lost everything? I can't even put into words what I have gone through this year. For 8 years...
ok! so this fits perfectly with my theory that lyme suppresses Acetylcholine levels. REmeron also suppresses Acetylcholine, which would make lyme symptoms worse! its basically Huperzine A + EGCG +...
In my experience, when I started on Prozac this year when my emotional side of lyme emerged: Depression, Panic attacks and anxiety it did absolutely nothing for me, whereas in the past it worked...
You are right!...
My psychiatrist always made me feel the two were seperate issues while I was trying to explain to him that this was different because I never felt anything like this before. It is like my identity...
Sarah Jane I completely understand. Last year I had my life, a good job, fiance etc.... I left that country to be closer to my daughter. What a mistake it has been. What lyme does it find every...
I know what you mean. I am so upset... If I was going to know this was going to happen to me this year I would have never returned to this country. I was living abroad for 8 years and first moved to...
Yes, before I had Lyme I could walk or hike for miles and feel fine. If I walk a little bit, by the evening every muscle is extremely sore and stiff....
Before Lyme Prozac had always worked for me. I was on it off and on over the years for anxiety. Before Lyme I I hadn't taken it for 4 years. After I got sick, and came down with horrible depression...
I try to exercise and even lift some weights. It made me feel worse. Like I was hit by a truck....
That has been my major symptom. After coming down with flu symptoms and feeling awful for a month. I literally woke up severly depressed and have had emotional symptoms ever since. Besides this, I...
How are you after all these years?...
My symptoms started out the end of March as physical but a month later turned into mostly emotional. I have this debilitating depression that just does not lift. It is horrible....
Besides antibiotics have you used anything that helped with your symptoms?...
Has anyone used Stevia to treat their lyme? I recently bought Alcohol free Nustevia. I was wondering if this would be effective?...
Thanks! I was also just reading that band 31 can be cross-reactive with other viruses....
It it is not that I wanted to test so many times I just wanted to make sure since the second test came back negative and everyone here told me Igenex was the lab to do it, I gave it a shot....
Anyway, since June I have been tested 3 times. The first time from my doctors office the beginning of June. IGM 23 and 41 IGG 18, 66 and 41 The second time from North Shore University hospital...
Hi Trader! I completely understand where you are coming from. I always think the same thing about myself when it comes to dating and finding a nice girl. But let me tell you.. do not worry about your...
Hi Everyone, I am so confused because since the end of April my main symptoms have been neuro-psychiatric:severe depression and anxiety. My row with Lyme began the end of March with the usual...
Thanks I called all the LLMD recommended on the lists. They all charge an arm and a leg....
I can find a doctor to sign off. I will do just the IgM and IgG. Looking for an affordable LLMD will be the difficult thing....
If it makes you feel any better.... I am going through the same thing. Actually my main complaint with Lyme is neuro-psychiatric with horrible headaches and besides the depression, anxiety,panic,...
Thanks! Not yet...But which co-infections tests do you recommend. I need to get the funds to work with a LLMD doctor. They are quite costly. I went to a major university hospital in my area. I just...
Hi everyone, I just received the Igenex packet. I noticed on the form since I live in New York some of the tests are excluded. Which test do I request for?...
Yes I know. But I need to get another prescription for the meantime. I just vomited after taking the 200 dose of doxy with food. There has to be another way. I will look into Buhner's protocol. How...
Ok. I actually have an appointment with an ID doctor next week at the Northwell infectious disease center. I can get it there. I am still looking for better options and treatment that are affordable...
Yes I understand that. As far as I know I became sick 3 months ago then a month after that progressed into neuro-psych symptoms. But you do recommend upping my dose to (2x) 200 per day? That is where...
But do you think after two weeks of doxy (2x) 200 per day is not a sufficient enough dose to feel any improvement? I do not feel any better since starting that regime....
Thanks Girlie. I upped my doxy dose to (2x) 200 per day. I am just scared of taking antibiotics long term. Does anyone know of anything that gets past the BBB and CNS? What is the best treatment for...
Thanks guys now I am panicking and haven't felt more negative since being diagnosed. I guess my life is over. I was living out of the country for 7 years in a no Lyme disease area. I had a good job...
Hi everyone, I wrote to about my recent Lyme diagnosis last week. What concerns me is what happens to me and I am losing hope after doing my own research and seeing how the medical community treats...
Most labs do the Western Blot. This is from the Igenex website: LP1 LYME PANEL #1** (previously Panel 4090-Basic Lyme Panel) Reg: $285.00; Savings: $28.50 $256.50 Lyme IgG/IgM/IgA Screen IFA Lyme...
I would say take the Western Blot test then. Because if the Igenex is not that accurate either who wants to spend $4-500 for that test. I sure wouldn't....
Hi Emilee, I went through the same thing as you and was just diagnosed last week. I never saw a tick or did I have the rash. I was just sick and did not feel right for a number of weeks running...
Hi H Mommy, I was recently diagnosed last week after 3 months of hell. My biggest complaint is my psychological state which I have been in for the last 2 months. I understand everyone suffers...
This is very true and I am learning now that it is not such an east coast thing. Lyme is becoming an epidemic across the United States and around the world. It seems the CDC really deflate the...
Hi Scott, I am also on Eastern LI. I was recently diagnosed myself and I am also in need of an LLMD. I called around some places and many LLMD's do not accept insurance and want a lot of money for...
Thank you everyone! I am just really scared because as of now I am not functioning. I can't even work. From someone who had 3 jobs working 60 hours per week with no sweat... I am a mess. With all of...
Interesting. My questions for you would be with your experience... I know everyone is different but if I am in the acute stages will this become chronic? Does the psychological symptoms get better...
Interesting. My questions for you would be with your experience: I know everyone is different but if I am in the acute stages will this become chronic? Does the psychological symptoms get better over...
I was just diagnosed myself and completely understand you. These could all be symptoms of lyme. It took me 3 months to be diagnosed since I myself never saw a tic or a bull's eye rash and on top of...
Hi! Thank you for your response. Keep in mind I was living normally in Colombia for 6 years prior to moving to LA. I think I got it in LA since I was not in New York for over a year. I ask you this?...
Hi everyone! I apologize for this lengthy post but I feel by being as detailed as possible you understand clearly the situation. I am trying to figure out what stage I am in. I never saw a tic or had...
