I just saw this thread and have a question - I have been prescribed Artemisinin by my LLND and he has told me to take 2 pills, twice a day. Each pill is 300 mg. So that means my starting dose is 1200...
Hi Girlie, The refrigerated one is called Ultimate Flora by New Life - he suggested Innate or Flora, couldn't get either one of those up here so the health food store suggested the one I got. It was...
I'd agree with you, I'm sure there must be some others I can tolerate. A more correct statement would be that I have found out the hard way that I am allergic to many antibiotics.When I say 'I am...
Good to know, thanks - it sounded so high it unnerved me a bit. Yes three doses, but with 2 Florastor probiotics and another probiotic - 50 billion units x 2 a day for that one. The latter has to be...
Hi, I went and saw a LLND in Richmond on Wednesday and he put me on 3000 mg of Amoxicillin daily for 2 months (I am allergic to pretty much every other antibiotic). He also prescribed high doses of...
Thanks Pirouette, I started a spreadsheet last week detailing everything I can think of since I first found the bullseye rash back in May. I will also print out info to take to my family doc because...
Thx Girlie, that was really helpful....
Hi all, I can't seem to find an answer to this no matter how much I search the internet. Everything that comes up seems to be about how long it can take after you have been bitten by a tick to have...
Thanks all. Pirouette, I wish I could be on a waitlist to get in sooner but the logistics of flights and other things means spur of the moment can't really happen. It's only 2 weeks though, so not so...
Yes, I am flying to Vancouver to see an LLND Nov 15. Seeing as he specializes in Lyme, I am hopeful I will not have to do any convincing to him, as I still have the bullseye rash, and I have the lab...
I don't know if our doctors would consider guidelines from America. At one of my appointments with my Gp, I argued for a continuation of antibiotics (this was back in June) and he said no, not...
It will be interesting to see what my GP says when I see him next, as he told me it was Lyme from the biopsy and sent me to the ID guy. At any rate, I now have an appointment with a ND mid-November....
wow, that's a lot of info! I wish someone with your knowledge was walking into these appointments with me! But doctors seem to take offence at being told something they might not know. When my GP...
Williams Lake/100 Mile area. Vernon is def closer than the coast though, so will check it out, thank you....
Ha - the ID Doctor I saw informed me that EM rash can be 'many, many things'. I, however, cannot find anything that says that anywhere. And he has emphatically told me that if this next blood test he...
Thanks for the encouragement. One other question - I read about people sending blood work to Igenix - how do you do that though? Is there a way to get a tech to take blood and send it off when it's...
I am quickly learning that seems to be the norm. Sad....
Most of my prescriptions are covered under extended health from work, so I am fortunate that way. Oh, as to your question about what was ordered for the Lyme test, they would not tell me. I asked the...
I read a white paper on the government of Canada website last night about a moderated conference in 2016 that gathered many Lyme sufferers who relayed their story - it was pretty sad what people have...
Thank you. Sometimes it is just nice to be heard, which I can't say I felt with this so-called specialist. Mostly I feel like crap. I have 3 more days of Amoxicillin and then I am supposed to go back...
I have posted before but for a summary: I was camping in May and found a red bullseye like mark on my leg, about 3 inches by 2 inches. Went to the local walk-in clinic, Dr said it looked like Lyme,...
Hi and thanks for the reply. I kept saying all I had read indicated 10 days was not going to help if it was Lyme, but was told that's what was standard and they wished patients would not look things...
Five months after finding a large bullseye rash on my leg while out camping, I have had a biopsy and the results came back today positive for Lyme. (I was given 10 days of Amoxicillan as a precaution...
Hi, Glad to have found this site as I live in a remote area and don't know what to do next. May 23, 2017 I was camping and noticed a large (about 3 - 4 inches long, 2 inches or so wide) red mark on...
