Wow, there are some really awesome people on this board. Thank you Dude. Dude, I appreciate you a lot. This is the second time you've really taken a lot of your own time to write out detailed,...
Sadly, I don't live in Virginia. :) Hey Dude--thanks so much for your input. Yes, the solutions you suggest re my son are all things that were considered before he made a commitment to the college in...
Hi guys--thanks for your input. As if things weren't horrible enough, I just discovered two of my little crested geckos dead. I believe that I forgot to give them water and the died of dehydration! I...
I think, more than anything, that I need connection from people who understand. As I've shared on this board, I recently stopped all antibiotics after going through a horrible period of suicidal...
Hi Lovemy3, In answer to your question, my gut tells me this is not a herx, but rather buildup of ammonia due to die-off. I was WAAAAYYYY worse when I was taking abx. Crying every day, suicidal...
Hi guys, Thanks so much for your replies. TheDude--thank you SO much for taking the time to scan those pages. I have to read them more thoroughly when I have more time, but my first response is to...
Hi All, So, I began taking the Borrelogen in combination with the Neuro Antitox about a month ago. Since then, it's been a roller coaster ride. At first I felt MUCH better. Then I experienced periods...
I experience the rage too. Just wanted to let you know that I sympathize....
Think I will try the coconut oil pull, as the irritation is still there, though lessened. I'm divided two tablespoons of ACV evenly between my thrice-daily drink for today, so we'll see how that goes....
Think I might have figured it out. Think I've been taking WAY too much ACV, and it has irritated the taste buds at the back of my tongue. They look enlarged, which I think is causing the irritation...
So, I've been on the Borrelogen and Neuro antitox for about 2-2.5 weeks now. My mood is Sooooooo much better, and that's everything! I was having suicidal thoughts 3 weeks ago or so, and now I feel...
I was EXACTLY where you are about three weeks ago. Then, on the advice of my LLMD, I stopped all antibiotics and herbal killing agents, and just drank a TON of lemon water for three days straight. No...
Yes, I've experienced. Becoming irritable much more easily with people was one of my first indications that I'd become re-infected after a bite back in March 2017. It has mostly resolved with...
Livingforhope, If you ARE on antibiotics, I strongly suggest taking an abx holiday. I was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago--ready to give up. My LLMD suggested a break from abx, and after skipping...
I hope you're right, Nottime4lyme. Unfortunately, anxiety and hopelessness made an appearance again this afternoon. But part of it might have been situational--I've got a LOT of stressors in my life...
Feel more awake again this morning. Slept the same as previous night. Very strange. No rhyme or reason--unless one of the diseases cycles every 3-4 days, and more critters being killed off those days?...
Yep, already through menopause. Don't worry--I fully intend to ride it out! :) Being sleepy once every 3 days or so is SOOOOOO much better than random crying, crippling, anxiety and suicidal...
I ordered it from this site: https://www.jnutra.com...
Hi Deejavu, So it's been several days since I started the Borrelogen and Neuro Antitox regimen. I started right in on the full doses recommended on the bottles. I'm also doing all of my...
Day 2 on the Borrelogen and Anti Tox and I don't feel wonky this morning. Head is clearer and the anxiety and depression are still at very tolerable levels. Still have a swollen pinky and a bit of...
You will feel better and better as time goes on. [i] I hope and pray you're right! I'll keep you posted....
Hi Deejavu, Yes, I did see the post about bone broth. Thank you! I still haven't tried mine yet. But I will. :) I might try making my own, as I just picked up crockpot cheap at a tag sale recently. I...
Hi there, So, I plan to start taking the Neuro-Tox and the Borrelogen today. I was going to follow the directions on the bottle because I'm not particularly sensitive to herbals. 20 drops three times...
Thank you for your input! I'm kind of afraid to drink it. It seems gross. Does it taste gross?...
I picked up some organic bone broth last night. Very expensive! How do I use it and what is it supposed to accomplish? LOL...
Hi there, I posted about going through this same thing last week, and people here recommended a break from antibiotics. My doctor supported this suggestion, so I stopped all prescription and herbal...
Hmmm...never thought to look for bone broth. I've gotta stop by the grocery store on my way home from work today, so I'll look for it....
Here's another realization I came to this morning. Sorry if it's too much information. :) I talked in my earlier thread about how I had diarrhea for more than 20 years. Literally, never a normal...
I do hate baths. I'm not filthy--I take a shower every day. LOL Just don't like to sit in warm water. But the epsom salt foot baths are a great idea, and I'm gonna try one of those tomorrow after...
I'm only doing lemon water and Alka Seltzer Gold right now for detox. I really, really HATE baths. Don't know why, always have. And hot tubs, steam rooms, etc. Are there other things I can do to...
Hi All, Thanks for all of the input. I'm trying to process all of the varying advice and make a decision. Here's what I'm thinking: I might stay off the pharmaceuticals for a while, and just take the...
So, I posted thread the other day about how I was dealing with suicidal thoughts, random crying, etc. on my regimen of Clindamycin, Minocycline, pulsed Tindamax, Teasel, Houttonyia, Cryptolepsis/Sida...
Oh yes, WalkingbyFaith--I have no doubt that these tick-borne diseases can mess up our bowels--in either direction. During the two years or so that I was in remission before I got bitten again, I...
Thank you so much for responding, Walkingbyfaith! I'm in one of those funks where I just need SOMEONE to acknowledge my existence/suffering. Just feels better knowing someone hears me, y'know? You...
Two steps forward, one step back? I posted about how good I felt yesterday. Looking back, I'd qualify it as going from a "1" to a "7" on a 10-point scale overnight. This was after skipping just my...
I HATE the head pressure. But in my eyes, nothing is worse than the anxiety and depression! I am feeling SO much better today! Could it really be this quick? I just skipped last night and this...
I hear you Girlie. It's so, so hard to deal with it. Thankfully I've been able to keep it together cognitively enough to keep working the two jobs. The lemon thing is a rare type of occurrence this...
What the heck? I could have sworn I left a reply but don't see it? I already took the Eleuthro--hope it doesn't keep me up. Hopefully Ativan will counteract. This really, really sucks. I HATE feeling...
Hi All, Deejavu and Girlie, my LLMD agreed with you. As soon as I told him what was going on, he recommended stopping all antibiotics. He recommended the Burbur Pinella, but I don't have any. I also...
Hi Denise, Thank you so much for responding. I'm having a VERY hard time at work today, which is not at all like me. I'm having suicidal thoughts in the middle of the day, crying at my desk, etc. I...
Thank you, Walkingbyfaith. Before you responded I did a bit of googling and ordered Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthro). Your list reminded me that I had been taking Kudzu for months and ran out about two...
Girlie--Thank you. I haven't actually talked to the LLMD about the suicidal thoughts yet, as he is more than a 1.5 hour drive away. Mostly been checking in with the naturopath. I am on a very, very...
Last time I talked with my naturopath, her advice was to keep with the antibiotics until I wasn't feeling suicidal anymore. Her feeling is kind of that if you're going to commit to the antibiotics,...
No, haven't done Mepron and Malarone this time around. Naturopath felt that Houtt., CSA, Sweet Annie, Teasel, Cat's Claw and Japanese Knotweed would cover all the bases. But I wasn't getting better....
Hi Girlie, I don 't have time or energy for detoxing. I've done months and moths of BOTH Mepron and Malarone. I'm pretty sure I still have the Babesia. I just don't have the will, strength, or money...
Guys, I just don't think I can do this anymore. The first time I went through this "dark night of the soul" with these diseases, and I started to come out of it, I said that I didn't think I could go...
I realize I wrote a bit of a novel. But anyone have any other input?...
Hi Walkingbyfaith--thanks for the support. Girlie--I WISH the doom and gloom would pass in a few minutes. Nope, stays with me for a good part of the day. In fact, it's 3:22 p.m. here right now and...
This is my second go-round with rock-bottom effects of this disease, though I've probably been sick for more than 25 years altogether. This board was a lifesaver five or so years ago, when I was...
Amoxicillin 500 mg orally three times daily for 20 to 30 days, I believe, is a potential regimen for early Lyme. After much research, I have taken fish tank Amoxicillin on more than one occasion with...
