WalkingbyFaith - Yes I'll have to schedule one. I had one probably about 8 months ago when I still had the eye pressure and they said I looked okay.. but it's been a while! Better safe than sorry...
WalkingbyFaith- I do have bartonella, so should I wait to take the supp for the biofilm then? My eye pressure will get worse (in my experience, abx, stevia, and supplements make the pressure a lot...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I actually am thinking now THIS could be a possibility of what's wrong with me.. So, all of my symptoms are gone besides the headaches, eye dryness, "eye"...
Girlie - I’m having an integrative doctor help me out with the herbs!...
Elvin - It’s not painful it just feels odd, very mild pressure but it’s always there and when I herx or have a flare up, it gets worse. My eyes get dry and it’s hard to keep my eyes open. It looks...
Girlie - Thank you! I've come a very long way. But I diagnosed myself... my doctors never gave me a clear answer to what it was, or just dismissed it, so I took my best guess, and did some research....
Anyone out there have completely recovered from ocular hypertension and eye dryness? Is it possible? It's my last lingering symptom, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I have bartonella and babesia,...
Also, I’ve been laying in the sun the last few days. Any chance that could cause a herx? From heat/sweating?...
It's odd though, I feel I've been herxing yesterday and today big time. But I drank on Saturday (so, 3 days ago). Maybe it's just a coincidence? It's been a while since my last herx too...
elvin- I ended up having two drinks, vodka tonic with lime, and it went well! Didn't notice any affect on my Lyme. Honestly, I felt a little better the morning after. My symptoms seemed better....
Rare Squirrel- Hahaha, I’d like to think that that’s what the case is! Only makes sense, right?...
Astroman- I’m going to stay away from beer just because I had yeast issues in the past.. probably will stick to vodka and some sparkling water...
elvin- I'll keep that in mind! And good for you. We all need a break once in a while...
I'm surprised most of you feel better or decent when drinking! I may actually try one tomorrow and see how it goes. But, only one. Not taking too much of a chance. Thank you all so much...
I haven't had alcohol since my symptoms began approx. 2 years ago. My only symptoms left now are eye and head pressure, eye dryness, and some minor sleep issues. (Also, ocular migraines when I herx,...
WalkingbyFaith- How long did the increased head symptoms last? Are they completely gone now?...
WalkingbyFaith- I'm starting very very low with my dosage once daily at night-- Going to slowly build up to 2 times daily (morning and night). Currently, this is the run down: 1 capsule Saccharomyces...
Woodduck12- I did, each one a couple of days apart...
Close to NYC in Westchester ...Dr. DC. Strictly abx, but he saved me and got rid of most of my debilitating symptoms. He believes in abx strictly, and to avoid processed sugar. I, on the other hand,...
Hi, everyone! I used to post on here quite often, but stopped for a while because I was on and off of treatment, switched to herbs from abx, and was just adjusting to everything. I began my herbal...
Thanks Girlie. He also mentioned the option of IV abx, but I hear from many people that that should be the last resort if you really are out of luck...
It's been about a month off of abx. I was taking 2, then 4 tablets of Nystatin/ day for about 2 weeks after that and I stopped that a week ago because I ran out and wasn't able to get another...
I also forgot to mention I have these tiny colorless painless bumps all over my legs too if that could indicate something as well. Not too sure. But, I will trying breaking up the pills and taking...
dacarte3 - She's the best, she's been helping me out a ton the last couple of weeks on here....
I've been posting pretty frequently on here... More and more things keep coming up :confused: So, long story short. My last two symptoms left are head and eye pressure (so I thought). I've been off...
That sounds super frustrating....ugh. Are you completely healed now? ...
I've only been on one abx each time. That does sound possible. I am thinking about IV abx in a few months if I end up ruling out y/f overgrowth. I know that rifampin has an IV option..maybe that will...
I have been getting routine blood work done, and there never is an issue with my thyroid (or so that's what it shows on the paperwork). Do you think I could still have a thyroid problem even if the...
Oh good, I was thinking this was a permanent affect from Lyme. I have cut out carbs, dairy, and sugar this past week and will continue to do so for a while. I did some research and found OxyPowder.....
That's great to hear! I'm glad you're healed and doing better ...
Still on the fence whether Lyme or yeast is the cause of my head and eye pressure.. whenever I have sugar carbs or caffeine I experience lightheadedness, and get this sort of panic attack that leaves...
Okay great I was just in need of some reassurance. The die off is bearable, so I think I will continue for the same amount of pills for a bit. Thank you so much for all of the info! I honestly feel...
I just stopped taking ceftin about five days ago.. I began to take Nystatin three days ago because I believe I have an overgrowth of candida in my body based on various sx (pressure in head/eyes,...
Okay thank you. Also, I just noticed this morning my tonsils have white patches on them. My throats was also sore yesterday. I stopped the ceftin about four days ago. Could this be causing this? Or...
Okay thank you I will look into that! yes, it can cause that kind of pain I would get some oregano oil and some dmso rub the OO topically whereever it hurts, then rub some dsmo on top of the OO. the...
ALSO, anyone know if yeast overgrowth can cause pelvic pain and/or discomfort? Even throw off your period? I know I'm not pregnant, but I just don't feel quite right. Sort of like the discomfort I...
It only makes sense right? When I took a break from abx in the summer my symptoms got so much better, but I wasn't taking an antifungal during that time so I was sensitive to food. That was pretty...
I will consider it. Does IV abx treat IH? Also, I am extremely sensitive to caffeine and sugar with Lyme (never had a problem before this all). Both of which leave me super dizzy and cause severe...
It could be. I was only on Mepron for two weeks back in June. It gave me PVC's so I stopped. So you are still on Mepron then? Do you think if I continue the Ceftin I will eventually feel less head...
Okay thanks for all the help, I will definitely begin doing that tomorrow ...
Hi! Thank you so much for all this info you've been sharing. I do feel like yeast could be the culprit, so do you feel I should pause the abx for now and start slowly upping my Nystatin intake? Then...
I've never heard of a GI binder, but okay I will restart the Nystatin. And yes I take the pill form. I was prescribed 500,000 units per tablet to take twice per day. Should I start twice per day then...
I have no clue. My LLMD believes abx are the best way to treat. He never mentions yeast to me. That could be a possibility ...
So sorry I am JUST reading this now. Instead of IV abx, I'm on Ceftin for this month. I went off of doxy because my mood swings, lightheadedness, and brain fog were all getting extremely bad the last...
My LLMD has prescribed me Ceftin to take 2x daily. I started about one week ago. The eye and head pressure is so much worse while on this abx. I also don't get tired throughout any point of the day.....
I may be starting IV abx in a couple of weeks.. I've had lyme for a little over a year now. My last lingering symptoms are head and eye pressure, and panic attacks (I only get attacks when I drink...
Thank you for this info! This is my first time hearing about this gene. I will talk with my doctor about the mepron when I see him in a couple of weeks ...
This helps a lot, thank you for the info! ...
I used to take Nystatin actually, I still have some left so I definitely will continue with it! ...
Thank you for the info, I will have to look into the caffeine problem more because I miss my coffee. :( Recently, I've had an intense craving for sweets, it's so hard to stop myself from eating them....
