So, got my second Pfizer vaccine on Friday around 10:30 am. Only response that day was a sore arm later that afternoon but it wasn't too bad as I was moving it alot. Then woke up at 3:30 am feeling a...
We had 696 new covid cases in my county yesterday so I just am too scared to wait any longer-hopefully 4 weeks between Pfizer doses is good enough. I am going tomorrow morning for dose 2 but have to...
Huddie-I think I have read where a few people that have already had covid did have a stronger response to first vaccine than the second so hopefully that will be the case for you too. My friend I...
I get the anxiety, I was trying to wait for Novavax but that keeps getting delayed so I broke down and got the first Pfizer dose on 7/23/21. I could've gotten the second one this past Friday but had...
Thank you for sharing your vax experience! I have been trying to wait for Novavax but this new variant has me wondering if I should just take a chance and go ahead and do Pfizer. These vaccines make...
He is fatigued but he's also 76 years old and he's always fatigued when he gets back from trips to VA. No headaches or anything......
I took modified citrus pectin for possible mold toxins and I know everyone is different but it greatly helped me....
So my 75 year old dad was visiting relatives in VA and got bit by a tick a few days ago. No bullseye rash or anything. I told him he should go to the urgent care to get doxy just in case. Am I being...
All I know is you guys ROCK! I can't even tell you how much you have helped me with my Lyme/mold journey. I am forever grateful to all of you! This forum is the only place that understands me being I...
Oh, he also said not to close any vents off as that can cause moisture to build up. I am guilty of that as I have only one system so would close off vents downstairs to push air upstairs in the...
I just finished dealing with some mold in my house that I had no clue was there! When I got my hvac maintenance service done they found a little bit of mold in my hvac unit. He said it's quite common...
So I am getting my air ducts cleaned and they found MOLD in a couple of the vents. They took a swab of it and I want to send it off somewhere to test to see what kind of mold it is. Anyone know where...
My vitamin D was pretty low for a while but I got it into normal ranges by taking Vitamin K2/MK7 with 5000iu of Vitamin D3 every day for a bit. I really think the K2 helps alot, even my doctor was...
I am following this being as you now know, I too have the HLA gene for Lyme and Mold and am currently taking Modified Citrus Pectin to try and bind some of the biotoxins and get them out. My doc...
The HLA-DR test explained a lot as whenever I take antibiotics I herx terribly. Heck, everything makes me herx! I just can't seem to detox very easily so I am doing dry brushing, epsom salt baths,...
Thank you for the info WalkingbyFaith! Does the MCP give you alot of fatigue? I am having alot of fatigue and wondering if it's the MCP or just a flare or something. It's not sleepy fatigue, but...
What brand of MCP did you take and how much? I was taking the Swanson Pectipure but my doc switched me to PectaSol-C. I have only been taking two a day and wonder if I should be taking more?...
I bought the jarrow brand milk thistle recently. hopefully that one is okay...it had good reviews on amazon...
Has he had HLA testing done? Maybe he has trouble detoxing out those suckers like I do and they just keep getting reabsorbed. Is he taking binders? Have you tried oil of oregano? I have read good...
Everything makes me herx but I will say that I herxed pretty badly from doxy, way more than amoxicillin, so curious to see if you have a reaction to the doxy. I do have the Lyme gene defect though so...
Kat1000, what is the bio pure cocktail? I am in need of some good immune system boosters as I am currently on an amylose free diet and taking activated charcoal/modified citrus pectin for biotoxins....
Thanks Serfr, I will look into that as I could probably do that if it doesn't taste bad-sounds easy and a much healthier option. I didn't leave the couch all day today, just zero energy. Hoping to...
I haven't heard about anything in NC yet...of course alot of docs here do not think you can get Lyme in NC....
I may have no choice but to rest which is so depressing being this is the most beautiful weekend we have had in a while. I don't even have enough energy right now to make some breakfast. It's also...
What are your best recommendations for energy boosters? I dug holes and planted 3 shrubs yesterday and immediately after had so much fatigue I could hardly move. I definitely overestimated myself and...
Has anyone tried Mimosa Pudica for parasites? I am thinking of trying this:...
I drink coffee and had planned to give it up but as a headache/migraine sufferer I decided not to as I don't want to induce any caffeine withdrawal migraines. I only drink one small cup a day though....
My hands look like the hands of a very old woman! I don't wear nail polish at all as I don't want to draw any attention to them lol. I also have terrible eye bags that don't go away no matter how...
I just actually found a Tick Recovery UPM-750 product on Amazon, and if that's the product she is talking about that may be helpful as it looks like it is basically monolaurin. Just make sure you...
Yep, those are the same bands I tested positive on and that is considered even CDC positive for Lyme. If you don't want to do the antibiotic route, you should look into the Buhner protocol. You can...
Thanks! I wasn't sure what the IgG/IgM meant as far as treatment goes. I guess it's the same either way, either the abx route or herbals. I think she prefers herbals but she's waiting to see what her...
She is seeing a naturopath right now, who ran the test. I am curious to see what her naturopath says being by CDC standards she would be considered negative. I am not sure how Lyme literate her...
So my friend just got tested for Lyme Disease with a Western Blot serum test. Her results are below. Being she tested positive on band 23 I would say yes, she has Lyme as I am pretty sure that band...
I started having painful cramping during my ovulation and can't seem to lose weight. Being I am turning 47 soon I figured it would be good to get my full thyroid checked as well as hormones....
I guess since I am within the reference range I won't worry much about it. I am trying to cut back on my sugar intake regardless but I do have a sweet tooth! Thanks to you all!!!!...
I might give them a try and see how it goes. For now I will continue with the zinc as i want to see if that helps with inflammation as well. Anyone know much about my insulin level? I read online...
I do see where I had a free T4 back in October and at that time it was 1.10, range was .82-1.77 ng/dL if that helps......
Thanks Astroman! Looks like she didn't order Free T4. I read that if you take zinc and selenium that can help you convert t4 to t3. Do you think if I just took zinc and ate brazil nuts that would...
Also my doc sent me a message and said that the hospital did not send my c4a test to the Jewish hospital like they were supposed to. They did the c4 test rather than the c4a test she ordered. I am...
Hi Girlie! of course, I should've posted the ranges before, here they are: T3 total=1.1 range .6-1.8 ng/ml T3 free=2.59 range 2.18-3.98 pg/ml TSH=2.79 range .358-3.740 uIU/mL T4 total=10.70 range...
My doc ran full thyroid and hormone tests- these are my results: T3 total=1.1 range .6-1.8 ng/ml T3 free=2.59 range 2.18-3.98 pg/ml TSH=2.79 range .358-3.740 uIU/mL T4 total=10.70 range 4.70-13.30...
My doc ran full thyroid and hormone tests- these are my results: T3 total=1.1 T3 free=2.59 TSH=2.79 T4 total=10.70 Reverse T3 serum=17 Cortisol=13 Estradiol=184.1 Progesterone=11.1 Estrone=119...
So sorry to hear this! Try taking some activated charcoal or another binder to see if it helps settle it out a little...and definitely hydrate well...
I guess it's possible but the VCS positive results could also be from Lyme biotoxins right? I am not sure how to know which biotoxins it could be......
So at my last LLMD appointment I tried to explain to her my eye/head issues that drive me crazy (major eye fatigue/fog feeling/blurriness/hard to explain) and she said she knows what that is,...
My LLMD just gave me a prescription for this so I am giving it a try. She had a $40 off coupon so it came to $95. I have had terrible brain fog so I am hoping it does something. Did you ever end up...
So I actually just bought some Reservatrol/Japanese Knotweed (Gaia Herbs brand) and wanted to start taking it to see if it helps with inflammation/boost immune system but am a little scared to now as...
You can try modified citrus pectin-it's the supplement version of cholestyramine. Once I started taking it my headaches/migraines decreased so it does something for me. Astroman I think also has...
I am so sorry Girlie! I know that is quite frustrating and I also know how much you have been looking forward to the visit. I am glad to hear that other than that, it went relatively well and I am...
I actually have Lyme Disease and do suffer from migraines so came to check out the migraine forum and saw this post. When I contracted Lyme back in 2010 I never saw a tick or a rash. The ticks are...
