My understanding is that the reason for juicing the celery is because it strips the fiber but keeps all of the other nutrients and allows you to consume more of the good stuff. They say one...
Has anyone jumped on the medical medium train? Biggest new fad is drinking 16 ounces of celery juice on empty stomach in the morning. Many people swear it has helped with their chronic illness, skin...
I’m very similar to you. I did 8 weeks of antibiotics for an acute bite where I had the rash and a few symptoms that accompanied it. I never really had a Herx or any issues while on antibiotics. I...
Are you no longer seeing her?[/quote] No, I am not seeing her any longer (for now). My case was acute. After 2 months of intense antibiotics, I did a month of herbal. I have been feeling really good...
My email is in my profile. I saw an LLMD on the outskirts of the Cincinnati area and would be happy to provide her name if interested. Email me....
I wanted to answer your question about the bite - it is not uncommon for the tick bite mark to continue to show up and last for months, even after the swelling and the rash go away. I was bit in...
Ditto! Always great to see progress made! Very curious to follow where these findings take treatment plans....
What is everyone’s thoughts on getting the flu shot if you have Lyme? Should I get it? Does it make symptoms flare?...
I have been taking calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, turmeric and zinc. Vitamin D is the only thing I take daily as even before lyme, I was Vitamin D deficient. All of the others I take every other...
Yes, I have continued to take probiotics daily. 112 billion a day, sometimes I also take the ones to prevent C. Diff as well. What is interesting is, I have mentioned my oral thrush to two doctors...
For the second time in less than 10 days, I have woken up at 3am with SEVERE abdominal pain, back pain, nausea and diarrhea. The first time it lasted about 30 minutes and then just suddenly the pain...
Alex - I am in the same boat. I was infected July 4th. I did 7 weeks of a combination of antibiotics (went on antibiotics ONE DAY after bite) including doxy, bactrim, plaquenil. Also did Artemisinin...
I have wondered the same thing. I was infected in early July and did 7 weeks of heavy antibiotics (did just doxy for 3 weeks then added plaquenil and bactrim for 4 weeks on top of an additional 4...
Should Lyme or Mycoplasma be treated first? From most things I read, if lyme is treated and healthy immune system, your body should be able to fight off mycoplasma. So whether I am doing antibiotics...
For those of you that did the combined herb protocol, did it work? Was it effective in treating symptoms. I didn’t have terrible reactions to antibiotics and I was on three at once so I think I can...
I am thinking of starting the Buhner herb protocol for Lyme. I just finished reading the second edition of his book - healing Lyme, but still have some questions on where to start. 1. His book and...
In regards to that article on a new drug that is shown to be highly effective - While i get why there is such sensitivity put into research before just launching a drug, I really do - sometimes I...
Girlie - has your LLMD advised that you take on an empty stomach? I know that is the instructions on most prescription antibiotics but my LLMD was very clear that I should definitely take my...
K07 can certainly email with any feedback they may have. I have seen others post with doctor initials and locations so I apologize if I broke any rules. THe forum moderators can certainly delete or...
Yes, I am located in Ohio :) I’m near cinci. There’s 2 integrative practices here that treat lyme. K07 - the LLMD I am seeing is actually in the Cinci area. Do you have experience with Dr. R?...
This was helpful and good to know! I am trying to find the best treatment plan for me. I will have been on 8 weeks of antibiotics at the end of this month and just feel I have more symptoms from...
Yes, I am located in Ohio :)...
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to ask if anyone has had success working with an integrative medical practice or doctor in treating lyme? Specifically one who is not listed as an LLMD. I am seeing an LLMD...
I now fervently believe Lyme disease turns on or reactivates Herpes infections, and it’s not a gentle process. It wreaks havoc on your body. That’s why my doctor believes if he treats the EBV, Lyme...
Hoagie - yes I am on antibiotics. I went on antibiotics the day after the bite/infection 5 weeks ago and have been on them ever since. Currently on doxycycline (5 weeks and counting), plaquenil and...
I have been monitoring my body temperature pretty much daily since I was bitten and infected 6 weeks ago. I have never had a fever and for the most part have been running pretty normal. The past 3-4...
Thanks, Sebreg. I appreciate the words of encouragement. How long did it take you to see progress on the cracking knees? For me, it's not like they crack when I am just walking straight. It it...
I hear ya. I am just wondering if that is really aggressive treatment for such an acute stage. In fairness, I have never had really bad side effects outside of that first week or two. And I never...
Were you treated immediately after your bite a year ago? It sounds like you knew you were bit, yet you still have lyme so I was just curious as to your treatment....
I could use some advice. For context, I am a 30 year old female, located in Ohio, who has generally been in good health all of my life. I have no immune deficiencies to my knowledge. I hardly ever...
Regardless of what you call them - THANK YOU FOR SHARING. As someone only in stage 1 of lyme disease and trying to treat as aggressively and quickly as possible to prevent the disease from turning...
What was the treatment plan they recommended for treating the bart?...
Girlie - I believe the plaquenil should only be 30-40 days. I will definitely make an eye appointment with my doctor for a baseline. Good to know about the Artemesinin. My LLMD did not discuss this...
Hi Everyone, I just returned from my LLMD appointment. I would like to share our treatment approach to get your thoughts. As a reminder, I have already been on 3 weeks of doxy (100mg, 2x per day)...
PDX - what is candida? Is that a co-infection of lyme? Agree about the antibiotics. Just 3 weeks in and it is taking a toll on my gut for sure....
Thanks all! It is a super weird feeling hoping to get put on more antibiotics since I don't love some of the side effects of taking them. But that is what I hope the LLMD I see tomorrow will do. 3...
Thanks Psilociraptor. That makes me feel better. My main concern is not being treated for co-infections until it is to late since my primary care doctor would only prescribe 3 weeks of doxy. I am...
Thank Kct and Mcspike. I’m curious to what my LLMD will do and say. Especially since I’m too early on from bite to be tested. These antibiotics don’t make me feel the greatest but if l can hedge my...
Hello, I am new to the lyme world. I have an LLMD appointment on Thursday. I am/should be early on in detection. Tick was found and taken off me July 4th. I had a rash form around the bite though not...
Any recommendations for an LLMD in the Columbus, Ohio area would be appreciated....
Hi everyone - I am new here and looking for guidance. Two weeks ago I found an engorged deer tick on my back. My husband removed it. My back instantly had a reaction. It swelled up, blistered and...
