Update from my doctor: she also thinks it’s NOT the flu (because I don’t have typical flu symptoms, like respiratory). Instead she is giving me some new meds to see if it might be caused by a...
1000dasies thanks so much for all of this! This is definitely helpful, at least for a bit of potential clarity haha... I figure I might list my symptoms more fully here - first to see if you think it...
@1000Daisies could I email you to ask more questions? Since your email address isn't available on this website, you could send me an email (my email is available) and I could reply? Thanks!...
I take NAC, vit C, and an immune booster (Immucare, I think it's similar to the Buhner one). Can't tell how much any of them help though! Haven't considered ozone but will look into it, thanks!...
Hm, interesting. Definitely not absolutely sure it's a flu virus. What's weird is it usually begins as aches – first I interpret them as the typical Lyme aches, but then I realize they're more...
So after almost two years I’ve been doing fairly well - just some achiness here and there. But for the past 6 months I’ve been having these recurring flu like symptoms - fever, flu achiness (I can...
Thanks all. I believe it may be the Tinidazole that is causing the discoloring. Doxy has caused in the past, as well as Ceftin (which I'm also currently on), but both were cured by the coconut oil....
For the past few months my teeth have been yellowing and graying, with a film constantly over them. I've been doing coconut oil tooth pulling regularly every morning, and wheatgrass pulling every...
Thanks Girlie. Taking it daily for a week on, then a week off. Just started last night though so not 100% sure if it's connected...let's see!...
Just started Flagyl and had a terrible night of sleep. Tossing and turning, almost as if I was half-asleep the whole night. Wondering if this is a typical effect of Flagyl? Have been feeling great –...
Very nicely said @Jinna!...
Sun and rest and earthing help for sure. But also the water itself seems to have a pretty positive effect – the days I have gone in the water I feel MUCH better; when I skip it for 2 days or more I...
Am reopening this because I've also had this amazing experience over the past few weeks. Have been in Italy visiting family. When I arrived I noticed first and foremost how the SUN made me feel much...
I'm glad I did it since I had suspected mold. My previous doctor refused to have it done. It cost me around $700 though, I don't know if my insurance will cover it, my doctor said many won't. There...
My Mycotoxin (Realtime Labs) report just came back, I tested positive for 4 strains of mold: Ochratoxin - 2.03500 (present if greater than 2.0) Aflatoxin Group (B1,B2,G1.G2) - 1.65600 ppb (present if...
Thanks Trav. I will see once I start the immune boosters what effects that has. I also get some new test results back the end of this month, which may be indicative. Also, you mentioned binders....
Good questions. I will be taking immune boosters soon, they are on their way (delivery). So we'll see if that helps. What kind of viruses are you thinking? How could viruses be affected by all this?...
Sure, Traveler. Although was wondering in general from ChickNorris and whoever else what they do, as obviously different things will help different bodies. This is a theory in progress, but the...
ChickNorris, any strategies you use to reduce the awfulness?...
The Vitamin D is an interesting point. Anyone else have experience with that? For me, it's strange, because prior to Lyme I always loved the rain, one of my favorite weathers. So I have trouble...
Thanks Traveler. Well I work at home too, so that affords me many benefits and I am able to adjust as needed. What specific kinds of detox do you find helps most with rainy/cloudy days?...
So I recently started drawing a correlation between warm and sunny vs. rainy and cloudy, and how it affects my symptoms. At first I thought the sun was just lifting my mood, but now I THINK (as...
My ability to build and strengthen muscles has gone up and down repeatedly over the past 5 months. Sometimes, I can feel them finally strengthening. Then a few days later, it goes backwards, and it's...
Thank you ARBIII. I've heard about Dr. A, too. Will try to see if I can get an appointment with her. Good to hear your insurance pays for the tests. Does it pay also for the visits with Dr. A?...
ARBIII, did you see my questions above about Dr. PB?...
Hey, wondering what his approach is like? How does he prescribe antibiotics? Does he pulse? What kind of testing does he perform? Also, he seems a bit integrative/holistic, but to a point? Do you...
Looking for any direct experiences with this doctor....
LymeDocSearch, it may be better for you to re-post this as a new post with a separate title...that way you'll get more people who may have knowledge to answer your question. The title of this post is...
Let us know when you do, I can send you some recommendations...
Hi Traveler, yes I just finally was able to speak to them, they were very useful and offered some good suggestions....
Montgomery County, PA. I could also give you the name of the town in which his office is based, but don't know if it's appropriate to be so descriptive here....
bump...
bump again...
Some of this this may be obvious, but – I'm filling myself with Vitamin C (1000 mg or more), raw garlic, sea salt gargle, and bone broth. And like you said lemon – several full lemons a day in hot...
Perfect, thank you Traveler I will give them a ring right away!...
Good advice Traveler!...
May continue to bump this for a few more days in hopes that somebody who doesn't sign on to HW often sees it....
Doing plenty of detoxing, anti-inflammatories, supplements, herbs. But I think it got me at a time when my body was particularly weak. I'm working through it – the most painful part has passed – but...
Never in my life has the flu (or anything, for that matter) been so painful as with Lyme. The influenza muscle aches + Lyme migrating muscle/joint pains (reemerged from the flu) + leaky gut pains +...
Unfortunately I personally don't have capacity to travel much beyond the general area of Bucks / Chester / nearby counties around Philadelphia. Thanks for the recommendations though!...
thanks for the bumps...
OK, will do so tomorrow then. Thank you....
I've had lyme for about a year and never had a fever. Recently I've been having leaky gut problems and returning muscle aches. A few days ago I contracted some sinus stuffiness / throat irritations,...
Anyone have any direct experience with a good LLMD in the southeast PA area? I've had Lyme for about a year now and the current protocol I'm on isn't working, so am looking for a more integrative...
Wondering if anyone has been to him and has comments/advice? Feel free to privately email me. Thanks....
P.S. I don't know the science much behind it, but apparently other than the enormous amount of probiotics (I take supplements, but they have had little effect on me compared to the kefir), I have...
Joee, it may very well be what's given you that boost. It's not just my experience – I've read before that others have had the same effects. It's been the first time in 7 months I have started...
Hi Drez, I had trouble with dairy – even raw milk which is supposed to be better. But kefir grains eat the lactose in milk, which makes it easier for the bodies to process, from what I understand....
Looking for an LLMD near Philadelphia PA. I'm about 80% recovered but need somebody who can really help me get that last boost. Preferably would like a doctor who practices approaches that are...
