Pre-game I had good results from Prozac, celexa, and zoloft. Each worked very well for about 6 months then I switched to another. I could have cycled through that trio again but I decided to go off...
Astro, how specifically does the limonene help you detox? I cant explain the details. In plain English: D-L supports phase II liver pathway. Including "desludging" bile ducts. Jarrow even states...
Sorry you're suffering from the a-bart. I've read others here say they had ER level herxes from it. My acupuncturist tried it and said it gave her heart palpitations that never went away. I had...
Astro, how specifically does the limonene help you detox? I've been skeptical about this detox business but thinking maybe there's something to it. I've always been sensitive to caffeine, alcohol,...
So many of us were intrepid outdoor adventureres before....... This. Are you saying that you're feeling worse since starting treatment with augmentin? What are adk peaks?...
Yeah, hiking feels so good for my body and spirit. Like you said, every step is different, amen. Think about how that works muscles isometrically also, and core strength and balance. Alas I can't...
Sounds like you're doing well! that snow jogging sounds intense. I think I'm ready to start back on the stationary bike. My resting pulse is consistently back to normal now (65 bps) for the past 3...
I'm feeling overall very good these days. I've been doing the type of exercise burrascano recommends; yoga, stretching, and resistance bands and pilates reformer. I look better than before I got...
Sure enough. I read an article on psychology today about Lyme related dementia. They cited this study saying Pure Lyme dementia exists and in one group in the study, stability or mild improvement was...
My wife has an apparent dementia. Well know more next month after she sees the neurologist and get the mri. Our new pcp is Lyme literate and ordered a western blot thru quest. (she didn't bother with...
I've used a-bab and eb-h6. The a-Bab was very strong and caused a herx, anxiety /wired. I've taken 2 bottles of the eb-h6 for epstein-barr. The eb-h6 didn't have any apparent effect. I've had better...
Have you had blood tests done to identify mold illness? Did you do c4a and c3a? Hla? Which ones and what were your results? Our house has a musty smell at times that I'm pretty sure stems from a dirt...
Congrats?? No point in retesting Lyme with Igenex. CDC positive from Quest is more than enough. Next step? LLMD....or are you leaning toward herbals?[/quote] Next step? Gosh, I don't know. Probably...
Wifey's test results back from pcp today. CDC positive with igM bands 39 and 41 reactive. Igg bands 23 and 66 reactive. From quest! Again, her only symptoms seem to be dementia related, memory,...
You might check user reviews online for folks using rifampin for other conditions. That might give you some idea if it's herx or side effects. https://www.drugs.com/comments/rifampin/...
Mareish, I hope you're finding some pain relief, that sounds like torture. Did you have these same pains at all before the azith and rifampin? Please keep us posted as to how this situation resolves....
Yep, that's largely true July. Most alzheimer's sufferers don't t appear to have insight in to their own condition. That applies with ftd as well. I finally found the Kris Kristofferson interview...
Could be genetic, my step- daughter and her family are starch-etarians. Their diet worries me as they're in their 40's, overweight and diabetic. Of all people, they need a keto like or at least...
Thanks for the discussion and helping me to foster some hope. Girlie, as for putting her through the spinal tap, I don't know. Id want to know how she might benefit before putting her through that....
Thanks for the info and encouragement Traveler and b99. There seems plenty of evidence out there that lyme could be the culprit. Blood test on Monday, results by Friday I'd guess. I've got the igenex...
Thanks Bluelyme, good blog you linked. A glimmer of hope. This is really rough. By and large it's like another person lives in her body now. Girlie, I'm not sure if you're asking me or Blue. But...
Just as I'm emerging from 18 months of Lymeco sick, my wife's descent down the dementia rabbit hole is accelerating. I've seen minor symptoms of dementia for the past 8 years or so but was in denial....
Shameless bump. Anyone?...
Girlie, I was dx'd with sleep apnea in 2013. I'm really not sure when I got Lyme as I never saw a tick bite. I melted down in summer 2016 so probably got lyme then. Or I got old and stressed and the...
Girlie, I have both obstructive and central apneas. If I don't use my cpap, I dream I've died, that I'm not breathing, then I gasp for air and wake up all in a tizzy. It's disturbing. This didn't...
In the morning, just as I begin the waking process, my arms and legs shake violently for maybe 5 seconds or so. This may happen at other times during the night b4 I wake up 2p ~3:00, but not always....
How long til the "herx" or whatever it is subsides?...
I react that quickly. I've not been able to get a straight answer if that's a herx or side effect. According to Burrascano, it takes 48-72 hours for the bugs to start dying off after abx. I get...
Ha! Still treating after almost a year. Took me 4 months to get diagnosed correctly as I never saw a tick bite. I've had 2 integrative docs that are marginally Lyme literate. I've made a ton of...
Yeah, I'm still struggling with relatively mild but residual symptoms. Mostly anxiety /agitation accompanied by what feels like a shortness of breath or discomfort in my upper chest while at rest....
Interesting. I've still not tried the serrapeptase yet. The reason I asked is that I'm a big chicken and a herx wimp. I'd probably be well by now if I could tolerate a herx better. I recently...
Caramba- I started out taking one with 8 oz of water on an empty stomach (because it may make some people sick) then when I felt great and noticed it helped, I take 2 - 2x a day on an empty stomach...
Oh no Pirouette, You have been so helpful to me with your hard won knowledge and wisdom. I'm so sorry to see you go. I only glanced at the moderator thread the other day so I don't know the details...
I got sick 9/2106 and melted down with extreme fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia........... I'm the sole breadwinner of the family. Thankfully I had good disability insurance as I was too sick to...
I'm sure this is old news around here, but we each need to find our own protocol that works for us. I'm super sensitive to many herbs, drugs, and abx. Artemesinin did nothing for me. Otoh, byron...
Thanks for the thoughtful reply Pirouette, I appreciate your time and effort. Hmmm, I don't think I have gi issues now. I'm not as regular as you but every morning I make 1 or 2 bm's. They're huge,...
Thanks Pirouette, I neglected to mention that I also tried Jernigan 's borrelogen. That didn't give me anxiety / agitation but rather brought pretty severe dizziness and a sensation that I was...
Hi y'all, I've been feeling very close to normal of late, at least 90%. I haven't tolerated most herbals or abx well. I have tolerated beyond balance mc-bab at a whopping 3 drops twice a day for the...
Thanks Pirouette, You've got some good ones on there. I'll not even bother to ask pcp for some of those tests that aren't available thru quest or labcorp, I'll save those for when I switch to a new...
I switched my primary care physician and after a long wait, will finally get a physical on Thursday. I have seen her once for a skin issue and am pleased that she said she's "semi Lyme literate" and...
Another life time canker sore sufferer. I stopped eating all nuts for a few months and I stopped getting them. Gradually added nuts back in to my diet and isolated the cause to be walnuts and...
Hi, if you've seen Dr. R. S. In downtown San Francisco, can you kindly send me a private message to discuss? Thanks, BJD...
I'll ask the question first so reading my rant is optional. Who has tried the iha formulation from Woodland essence? What is/was your response? I'm looking at it sitting here on my table and waiting...
Everything I take to kill bugs herxes me, abx or herbs. The herxes start for me within half a day. Sounds like you all take your antimicrobials for quite a while before herxing?...
Mike, I'm sorry to read you're having such a rough time of it. You seem like a really good man, the knd of guy I'd like to have as a neighbor or friend. Its understandable you'd be so upset about not...
I'm looking for a better doc in the area. An in-law of ours is a retired med school dean/professor and knows most of the local docs. He recommended several but they aren't accepting new patients....
Hi all, I'm curious as to how you rate your pcp. My wife and I have been with the same pcp for 10 years. As long as there was something easy like a sinus infection or a broken wrist, he was OK....
On the bottle says " helps to maintain healthy joints, mobility, and flexibility. Temporary relief from everyday aches, pains, and muscle soreness. Speedy recovery following exertion". It's no advil,...
You may be wise to start the Clarithromycin at half dose. I just started a similar protocol monday ; clarithromycin and cefdinir. I followed Girlie's advice and staggered the start and am glad I...
Well, I started the biaxin first. Side effects list says that anxiety and insomnia are possible. Guess what, I got them both after the first 24 hours. Glad I didn't start a at once. It's unpleasant,...
