Look into fasting and give it a try. Also, find therapeutic keto on reddit as it's exactly what you need. Find a local butcher that delivers good grassfed meat for a good price. I tried 5 different...
So I've been in and out of keto and carnivore a few times while trying to find a diagnosis and narrowing things down. Whenever I did them, I only used salt and pepper for seasoning. Now that I know...
Can you link research on this? I've failed to search for negative effects of keto so I suppose I shall start here. I'm just scared to death of antibiotics...
Really good comment. If it isn't too much an inconvenience to you, do you mind just emailing me? I want to ask a couple questions regarding your diet as I've recently discovered much the same with...
No but I will now :)...
Yes, I have an LLMD who tested me via DNAconnexions all came back negative. He then tested for MTHFR where I was heterozygous A1298c, its a super common DNA mutation from my understanding. He...
Hi all! I'll start by saying I still have no idea whether I have Lyme/Bart but have done enough research to know it's a clear possibility. Leaning far more towards Bart. Anyways, I've been on...
Thanks for the info! With Galaxy, did you just do this option: Bartonella ePCR™ Triple Blood Draw + IFA Serology Panel IgG?...
Interesting. I don't have money to throw around but for some reason, I really want a test to verify so I may do it. I can't say that I have. The only thing I've ever done for provocation was 8-10...
Thank you. :) I sent them to your email assuming it hasn't changed in the last few months. The streaks are still very much so there, just not nearly as noticeable. That's good to know! For me, my...
Thanks man. Two for Galaxy, sounds like a winner! Gonna see what Girlie thinks about the lower back lines and decide whether I even need to waste my money on a test. Do you/did you have the facial...
Hey Girlie! Okay, noted; will look into Galaxy. Do you mind me shooting it over to you just to get your opinion? They're much more faint than they used to be. I'm almost positive they used to have...
Hi all! I've been on a journey trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Although I came up negative on my WB IgG IgM Igenex test and negative for Lyme/Cos on my DNAconnex test, the possibility...
I guess another test wouldn't hurt to compare the two. Wish I had gotten it while I was doing all the nonsense with the garlic, andrographis and oregano lol. If that helps at all.. Thanks for the...
Darwayne - you mentioned you were negative on the Igenex WB IgM and IgG. Did you have any positive lyme 'specific' bands on either of those? Re: Doctors - maybe a good LLND would be helpful...or a...
Hello all! I posted here a few times not long ago in regards to Lyme and the best ways to go about dx'ing. I've come to the conclusion that I likely don't have Lyme as I did DNAconnex and Igenex WB...
Thanks! Interesting, I'll avoid the EO then. Girlie I did read that before posting just didn't fully understand it if I'm honest. Not sure if it meant the EO is just more concentrated or if the oil...
O I C. So with that said, I can use it for the same effect or is it too strong for consumption?...
Might be a dumb question but I found two different tales from the two different sites at the top of google search... Is there a difference between the essential oil and Oil of Oregano or is the...
Just now seeing this Mylyme. Thank you for the kind words and advice. Bart is definitely something I should look deeper into. I get the tugging/twitches in the same area. The tremor sounds horrible....
Thanks Sebreg. I've noticed it takes a ton of trial and error just trying to dx lol. I can't imagine treatment. I will mention it to my LLMD and get his thoughts!...
Bluelyme - That is insane. 33 damn doctors. Sad that these guys barely even consider lyme as common as it is. I even stayed at Mayo for a couple days some years back where they tested me for...
Missouri, Thanks for the input! My LLMD made it clear when I first saw him that he prefers avoiding abx which is part of the reason I wanted to see what you guys thought first. If I know I want to...
Hello all, 22 year old male here. So after making some initial posts, I took the advice from Girlie and some others consisting of seeing an LLMD and starting with WB IgG and IgM. My LLMD had me do...
Thank you for the prompt replies! I will check both out and select a winner tomorrow :)...
I'm currently trying to make myself herx to tell me if I have anything. So far, all I've done is Cat's claw for about 3 weeks with not much to tell. I'd like to try it with serrapeptuse as I assume...
So you suffer from Lyme? That's interesting!! I'll try sticking to paleo/keto and see if my twitching and brain fog improve. Do you think the twitching and brain fog from carbs/sugar is due to food...
Hey Goshawk, thanks for the info! I've already done DNA connex Lyme panel and just did the WB IgG and IgM with Igenex on monday. Although, I have to follow up because I did it with quest and my CC...
So, still on my quest to figuring out what's wrong with me and searching all crevices for possibility of Lyme/co-infections now that I'm informed on the diseases. Two things I've noticed with my...
Hey guys, Should've asked this in my last post but blanked my mind, I got Cat's Claw shipped in yesterday in order to try a little provocation. I took 1/4th the daily dosage (125mg) last night and...
Yeah I'll see what others have to say and appreciate your input. I'd rather just go with Igx and hope for a positive test seeing as I'm not positive for the million other things I've tested for....
Eek, good to know! Found the threat, reading now. Thanks! I guess if IGX doesn't come back positive, it may be worth buying a microscope. Oh so no-go on Fry then I guess? I simply found them when I...
Direct test through Fry seems interesting.. Any thoughts?...
Has anyone had good experiences with microscopy? I tested via DNA Connexions and came back negative today. I will be doing WB IgG & IgM through Igenex next tuesday but does anyone here recommend...
How old are you? Did your doc test your LH, FSH, and Estradiol? I had low testosterone all through puberty up until 20 years old. Was put on Androgel for 8 months, found another doc that told me to...
And while I have you guys with all your Igenex experience, is there anything recommended before the blood collection? Should I exercise? Should I not exercise? Fasting? I would like to swim and eat...
Thank you for all the replies! I did already get it done yesterday. The doctor did 25 minutes of ultrasound on 5 different gland locations. Before that, I swam for 30 minutes then got a 20 minute...
Thanks! Will do...
Doesn't hurt indeed.. Besides the deep tissue massage lol Sweet! Good to hear you got good results from it. That way I'll be able to get 2 sets of eyes from 2 big name Lyme labs...
Would you settle for just a deep tissue massage? I have a place actually right across the street from me that does some seriously deep deep tissue massages. They don't go easy. I think I will swim,...
Thank you! Duly noted, will do...
Heyo! I'm seeing an LLMD on Monday to first be tested via DNA Connexions where he will send me urine out I assume. It's $500 for the test plus his cost for visit so I'm assuming it's the "Lyme...
Interesting; I've developed a fair amount of jaw issues since the TMJ started and I'm going to continue to assume it's because of the TMJ and the first TMJ doc I saw (long story) but after 1.5 years...
Brilliant, thank you! Drinking less water seems like a great idea as well, less diluted. I know facial paralysis is a symptom of Lyme but out of curiosity, have any of you heard of it leading to TMJ?...
That makes sense... Awesome recommendation! Don't search too hard for it, I can look for it as soon as I get off work. About to hop back off the forums before I get behind. I could work exercise and...
Hey Sebreg! Didn't see your post when I was responding to WalkingByFaith. That's interesting and definitely worth checking out since if I do get the WB, it'll probably be without the LLMDs help (the...
Interesting. So if I did the latter, I'm guessing I shouldn't be taking houttuynia and cryptolepis at the same time? Bartonella is one I'm interested in looking into since I my lymph nodes swelled up...
Hey guys! In my previous post, I asked about the best tests for diagnosing Lyme (and coinfections). I got lots of great responses and one mentioned the provocation method. I did a little research but...
Hey sorry guys, guess I didn't subscribe to this post; didn't get the notifications. Thank you for bumping. Wasn't me Girlie, will send you a message!...
Probably should've posted earlier but what the heck. All my fellow east coasters are probably sleeping...
