Thanks, Girlie! Got your email as well regarding my request. So thanks on both accounts!...
Thanks Sarah! Email received!...
LASEK, What is CSM?...
logmoss82 Thank you so much for the information you shared. I was treating with an LLMD until a few months ago. We were tapering off prescriptions to go herbal but then the medical board is now going...
[b] Hi everyone, Need help finding a new LLMD, naturopath or Chinese herbalist to treat my Lyme & Co-infections and issues caused by it all. I was seeing Dr. F in Chapel Hill but her practice is...
I think you can still have a lower number of bacteria and still have Lyme & Co. Perhaps just a different degree of it in ones system. A really good immune system before contracting it may be a factor...
No offense anyone but this one always makes me laugh! Especially if you're a very visual person! Who is the most popular person in the nudist colony? The guy who can carry two cups of coffee and 12...
If you tested positive for Lyme & Co and you are symptomatic then you have Lyme. I know I had this wishful thinking at first but I know I have it without a doubt. For me I think it may have something...
Not everyone Herxes. I have been in treatment for almost 2 yrs and haven't herxed that I am aware of. Some believe it's necessary to know you are killing off bacteria and some feel a slow gradual...
I have them as well. Not sure if it's Babesia or Bart. ONe causes the larger and one causes the tiny pin prick variety I have been told. I am also on Rifampin but so far they are still there. I...
Me too The Sal! I am looking at different clinics including St George. I need to do something different but don't have much in the way of money so if I do go to one I'll have to do a lot of fund...
There is also another really good LLMD in Chapel Hill I see. Dr. JF. She does not take insurance however as many of them don't. I haven't heard of any LLMDs around here that take any insurance. I too...
The portable Infrared sauna I have came with it's own camp style chair. Get a small one so it will fit in there if you have anything similar....
I can't stand to get overheated it makes me feel awful and cause my symptoms to flare! I feel best and sleep best when it's colder. Getting overheated like being in a hot room just makes me have...
Best wishes to you both! I have been considering going to this same clinic at some point myself but it's the high cost that scares me. Don't know how anyone can afford it. Something like $30,00...
Lovingmama, Not sure if this will help but I know quite a few of us are using a good quality CBD oil that has helped greatly with anxiety , depression , seizures, GI issues and the list goes on. I...
Thanks fellow Lymies. Sorry it took me so long to get back to this post....I kept forgetting!!! I do Ok for the most part but will forget 1-2x a week. Will try the techniques you all recommended. I...
How does everyone ensure that they are taking all their med's and herbs etc when they are suppose to. I have almost all my med's down stairs on the kitchen counter, got a pill box that I can put meds...
NicHostetler, I had that same strange tingling yet sensitive to almost painful sensation on the left side of my face all the way around my left eye and into the scalp. It came and went. But I will...
I drink approximately a gallon a day when I remember. Feel much better when I do. I have one of those really large water jugs that I carry all over the place with me. That's just to make sure I drink...
Yes Evanston! I get the lonely part. That is the part that sometime sucks the most. The symptoms and stuff would be somewhat easier to deal with when there is a good support system. This can really...
Have you been getting guidance from a non profit group Lyme and Cancer services. If not they can help tell you what to do to prepare ahead of time and all sorts of other things. I have just started...
Evanston1, So looking forward to hearing how it goes for you. I have been seriously considering going there myself if I can raise the funds. Way out of my budget but I don't want to spend years going...
Interesting. Strange that if you touch it is ends up somewhere else though. Yes hives are a possibility. I'd just keep an eye on it & try to not scratch it and see what happens. Anything for the itch...
Do the rashes go away or are they getting bigger? Does it hurt when you shower? Since it seems that if you touch it and then touch another area and it ends up there you may have a skin fungal...
Sometimes I think what we experience is Lyme & Co induced Sensory Integration Disorder. Some are just born with being wired that way but for us I think the infections and inflammation cause us to...
Did she get the tests through IGenex? She may need more extensive tests through a lab like them. They seem to be more accurate than some of the typical labs used and may provide her with clearer more...
I've dealt with sore knotted muscles in my back and neck for years. Really sucks but with regular massage, infar red sauna, lemon water, baths & other detoxing it's tollerable for now. This is one of...
Holly S...!! That is hilarious!!!!! Laughed so hard our dog looked at me funny! I'm with Pirouette " Crikey!"...
Just be aware that many of the LLMDs here in the US do not take insurance. You can however take to receipts from seeing your Dr here and send them into your insurance. Sometimes they will reimburse...
I've dealt with a low body temp but felt bad and had no fever for years. At first they said it was thyroid (before my Lyme & Co diagnosis) and had me on synthroid for about a year and a half or so...
I am exploring my options and looking ahead. I have already undergone a year of treatment here at home but have had limited success. So I am considering other options out there. Does any one know...
We are all asking questions constantly. We have too, so no need to feel bad over that. I think we all felt that way for a bit then quickly realized HELL NO I am not sorry!!! We have to to take back...
Jinna ! Our sex drive will come back OMG thank god! Yay! I still try to garden when I feel up to it or do something creative in some very small way it helps. It took us this long to feel so crappy...
Ha very true BabsBunny!, I just either omit or replace some of the things in the recipes I can't have the book lists. It has just been useful to give me ideas and a direction to go when I am tired or...
I know that this is old thread but none the less I'll put my 2 cents in. I was having a lot of joint pain and in years past ( before i knew I had Lyme) I had gotten a steroid shot in my knee as it...
Oh I meant to tell you that I also use a lot of recipes from a Lyme cookbook I found. It's the only one specific to lyme that I found. It is the " Recipes for repair" cookbook. You can find it on...
Serfr, Really great art! The creativity is still within us I believe. Our brains and bodies are just really busy fighting the fight. Kinda like a coffee cup that is overflowing with too much...
Oh my! Your are reading my mind. Has someone been watching me not create? I have really drawn much or painted in many years. Like you and feel my sense of creativity / spontaneity is trapped ( but...
Thanks for the Info fellow Lymies. We are like green snow flakes. No two of us are alike!...
I have a few of those racket balls that my Chiro recommended I use to roll on. And this great long solid foam tube it does wonders too. Not sure, perhaps the info above could have been mixed up with...
I just found this information fellow Lymies: "Recent study came out that Lyme is the only living organism that lives off manganese rather than iron. In order for the bacterium to survive in our...
Well we know that Lyme & Co causes a lot of inflammation in the body I suspect that some of these stems associated with headaches, dizziness, eye problems, brain fog, ringing in the ears, and feeling...
Oh yes! I agree feels like severe ADD. " Oh wait there goes a chicken!". Like I was saying severe ADD. I often will forget a answer to a question I just ask , will ask it again and then other person...
I make steal cut oatmeal w/ cinnamon, granny smith apples, a bit of stevia to sweeten and walnuts. Very filling with the protein punch. I dice up the apples in the water to cook a bit while I am...
To be sure can you get your DR to order lab work with Igenex? They can request that the lab tests for the Lyme bacteria and co infections. I'd search for a good LLMD in your area who will be much...
Hmm I don't really have shortness of breath or gasping for air. However, I do find that I breath shallow and sometime feel like I "forget" to breath. So weird. I do find that I sigh very frequently....
I am already doing Magnesium supplements but don't noticing it helping any. It was the Manganese that I was referring to. Wonder if supplementing with the Manganese would draw them out more and make...
