Welcome and thank you for sharing. I am sugar free, gluten free, and low dairy. But I have found that if I cut out my morning rolled oats and evening quinoa, I get cranky and lethargic. I always...
I've been treating with abx and herbs for 11 months. Around 7 months things started getting better. The last 4 months have been better overall with a few really really bad spells every few weeks....
Good point about the alcohol. He does already take A-BAB and A-L tinctures and has had no problem with the alcohol in them. Like you say, it is a small amount, so probably worth a casual yet...
We have been treating my 8 year old son for Lyme, bartonella, and babesia for ten months using minocycline, amoxicillin, A-BAB, A-L, and Artemisinin as "killers". His physical symptoms have eased a...
Deejavu, thank you for answering! I've been doing 30 drops 3x daily for two weeks now. I will just keep on trucking at that pace. Thanks!...
Astroman, my monthly labs have always been healthy, but I certainly don't want to stop getting them if I step away from my LLMD. I was unaware you can get them done yourself, so thanks for the...
Deejavu, What is the max daily dose of Nuero Antitox Cns/Pns you have taken? Thanks! Heidi...
Just wondering who all is self treating, and if you feel successful? I've learned a lot over the last year, researching EVERY DAY. I'm wondering if I can save $600 per month by skipping the LLMD....
I think you are fully justified in seeking out an LLMD. Your symptoms all sound very "Lyme and Co-infections" to me! I've had all your listed symptoms and more, and have been diagnosed with borrelia,...
My 8 year old son experienced this. He never had muscle twitches before taking mino, just fatigue, achy joints, painful feet, and anxiety. When he started Artemisinin and mino, he soon developed the...
Hello Everyone, I have read through many threads about detox, and have quite the detox regimen already in place for myself. (Listed Below) I have two questions for the group: 1) What is your current...
My LLMD in Northern California filled out the disability paperwork, no problems. I wonder why yours won't? Seems odd....
I'm right there with you and do not have any obvious advice. As for your specific questions: 1) For me it has been an up down thing. Before I started treatment and during the first few months of...
I do experience eye issues similar to what you mention. I get mild eye issues a few times a week: pressure, dry eyes, tired/heavy eyes. Aside from waiting these symptoms out, oral liposomal...
Yay! Congratulations. I love hearing this kind of news. I have been on the fence about grains in my diet...but hearing your post, I am officially cutting grains......
Lyme from ticks. Bartonella from fleas. Babesia from fleas. Most likely....but it's hard to be completely sure....
I just use our normal tap water (untreated from a natural spring on our property). I think the distilled water recommendation demonstrates thr "most perfect" method of taking the formulas...to avoid...
My biggest symptom of Lyme and coinfections is anxiety. Has anyone here with Lyme had any positive learning experiences by looking at, or participating in the Anxiety - Panic Disorder Forum on...
I've been on A-BART for 8 months. I ramped it up fast, and I've been doing 80 drops a day (40 x2) for 4 months. Before starting A Bart, I was already in a continuous herx and nearly completely...
Well that may be good news. Perhaps indicating that this all is very recent. If you do think it is Lyme, I suggest finding a Lyme literate doctor as soon as possible. Maybe even find someone else...
Hi bansh, No fun, No fun at all. So you are undiagnosed, and untreated...yes? If you absolutely are not able to pursue a Lyme literate doctor, this forum has a lot of wonderful information. Just...
When I first started treatment, I pursued treating babesia first. After a week of babesia treatment, I had all the psych symptoms you listed above to a debilitating degree...it was so bad I even...
Hello and welcome! I'm sorry your daughter feels so yucky! My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Lyme and coinfections in August 2017. She had symptoms since she was 3 or 4, but we knew nothing...
For me, about 5-7 days prior to the start of my period, all symptoms get steadily worse. Then about 1-2 days after the start, symptoms start to level back to baseline. The worst symptoms for me...
Both my husband and I have these red pin pricks you speak of, and they appear to be semi-permanent; some fading randomly, others still remaining after many years. We both have Lyme, Bart, and Bab,...
My hands and feet get tingly, pins and needles. I also get palpitations, and stabbing pains in the chest. Sometimes a big palpitation will be followed by a brief lightheaded feeling, but never...
This is wonderful. Sometimes a post like this is all I need to make it through the next few trials. We can do this!...
Solaris719, Thank you for those ideas. I will give them all a try! I drove for 10 minutes yesterday, had a 90 second panic attack, felt like an eternity. I was instantly sweaty, but I pushed through....
WalkingbyFaith, Sorry for the delayed response. Yes I am treating for bartonella. My current antibiotics/antimicrobial list is: -A-BART 80 drops per day -A-BAB 80 drops per day -Artemisinin -Biaxin...
I was told by my doctor that Lyme is like a prescursor to coinfections. Lyme needs time to really set in before the coinfections can begin their work. Because of this, I would assume that if you...
I can relate. I used to get the ice melting sensation in my brain. I always described it as feeling like lactic acid had built up in my brain. This symptom is now minimal (maybe once a month if at...
Your new mantra sounds just right to me! I have PTSD from thinking "I am crazy" for so long with no justification. I was so convinced that I had gone crazy that I requested to be evaluated by a...
Thank you WalkingbyFaith. Good to hear. I will just keep at it :)...
tonyaraven, I've had the waves of panic since I started my Lyme journey in April 2017. My husband recalls that I was literally in constant panic for about 6 months. It was very bad. I asked to be...
Hello all you wonderful lymies! I'm hoping for some input on managing symptoms while driving. I've been feeling a bit better lately and have been pushing things a bit to test my abilities. I haven't...
Overall, this has been happening for me as well. With the exception of the very last symptom that pushed me over the edge....anxiety. That symptom is holding tight. Makes sense that healing would be...
I was told bartonella. I have it too :(...
Occasionally I experience a similar sensation if I get up from lying down, or stand up from sitting, or bend down then straighten back up. For me, it's short lived and seems to wear off after a few...
Hang in there dear friend (which probably sounds like one of the most unhelpful phrases to you right now...if so, I completely understand that!) Try not to be hard on yourself. When I feel like...
I use Researched Nutritionals, TriFortify Liposomal Glutathione. The watermelon flavor is pretty tasty! It works well for me! Reduces headaches, brain fog and blurry vision....
Girlie, When you had your vision checked, did everything come out normal? Thanks!...
SickKitty, I have also had much eye trouble due to bartonella. My eye symptoms include pressure, pain mostly near the back of the eyes, blurry vision, temporary blackouts lasting a second or two...
Hello All, One of the most beneficial aspects of this group for me is reading about successes, big or small, long-term or short-lived. So, I want to share with you that after 8 months of treatment, I...
Welcome Rynos123, We walk such a similar path. My family (two adults, two kids) got Lyme, babesia and bartonella from our dogs and horses. We have been suffering the same symptoms you describe...and...
Thank you all for your comments. Lots of good information that I will be thoroughly researching. I am seeing my LLMD today (it has been two months since last we spoke) and I have added all your...
Deejavu, I have never heard of the brain detox methods you mention. I have asked my doctor about ammonia build up and brain detox. I was told a lot of the brain detox methods don't work and the...
decarte3, Thank you for explaining that term to me. I do mean symptoms of the brain such as cognitive insufficiency, brain fog, short term memory loss, random anxiety, and dramatic mood swings. I am...
PeteZa, That link was very helpful. I plan to fully explore all aspects thoroughly. Thank you!...
PeteZa, I feel the same about work providing a distraction from it all. I so badly want to work, as it is my confidence and passion in life to be useful. I actually struggled through the worst of my...
Thanks Traveler, I appreciate your input, and honesty. Walmart is not an option for me either. It was actually in Walmart that I had one of my passing out episodes. No good! I will look into State...
