Hi, everyone. Was hoping someone could lead me to a doc in my area. I was working with Dr. RW in DTX several years ago until he retired. He sent out notices to his patients and referred everyone to a...
I know this might not be relevant to everyone, but any advice or opinions would be appreciated....
Hey, everyone. So, my dermatologist wants to put me on 6-12 weeks of doxycycline for perioral dermatitis. That seemed a little excessive to me, but I let him prescribe it anyway. Now that I’m really...
Thanks for your replies, everyone. I just got engaged and my fiancé and I were chatting about my reservations regarding having our own child vs. adopting. It’s several years off, of course, but I...
Hey, everyone. I was just wondering if anyone with known Lyme has given birth to a Lyme-free child post-diagnosis. I know there are lots of cases of unknowingly transferring Lyme to the child...
Do you ever go to your doctor about a concern and then feel totally ridiculous when it turns out to be absolutely nothing? This has been happening to me (a lot) lately. 😂 In my mind, I’m always...
Hi, everyone. Hope you all are doing well. Has anyone had experience with long-term enlarged lymph nodes? I have one on the right side of neck adjacent to my jaw that feels larger than the left one....
So, my good friend has been having pretty debilitating health issues for the last two years. They’re increasing in severity as time goes by. Apparently, everything had a very sudden onset, and only...
I take it. 40mg a day as of right now. I was originally put on it for anxiety and depression, but I have found that it has helped my neuropathy quite a bit. It took a while, though; like two months...
Thank you both so much for your replies; it’s great to get some insight. I hadn’t even considered low estrogen. I’ll definitely bring that up at my appointment. Hopefully this new gynecologist will...
I’ve had problems with vaginal yeast infections pretty much forever (since I got diagnosed with Lyme, anyway), but now I’m experiencing a new issue that is worrying me quite a bit. I went to my GP...
Hi, everyone. Was just hoping some of y’all could weigh in on what has worked for you. Could be anything! Hoping to add a pretty strong Biofilm fighting component to my current protocol. Thanks! 👌🏼...
Does anyone do this regularly as a detox? I feel like I’m slacking on my detoxing and have been feeling more sluggish as a result. There’s this great place in town that has one, and they charge $1...
Side note: I've tested negative for Babesia, but I hear this is a common symptom of that. However, I've also heard it's a Lyme symptom. Is it more common for one over the other? Or pretty commonplace...
Hi, everyone. So, I've had this issue for a while. Maybe 5-6 months on/off. I'll get chills and feel like I have a fever; run-down, shivery, etc. But then I'll check it, and it'll be normal or even...
BVT? Is that Bee Venom Therapy?...
Hi, sebreg! Thanks so much for your response. As far as I know, just Lyme. I’ve tested for everything (multiple times over the years), and Lyme was the only thing that was positive. However, I know...
bluelyme, would you suggest a long course of abx first and then the Zhang? Do you feel like both helped?...
Another note: I’ve never been on antibiotics super long term. My LLMD suggests 6 months. I am hesitant to do this, but would you recommend it? Has anyone healed with JUST herbal treatment, or is it...
I also do Cowden, but not the full Cowden. My LLMD wants to put me on multiple, long-term antibiotics again, but I am hesitant because I’ve not been on abx for longer than three months. His other...
So, I know someone just asked a question like this, but it’s been on my mind so I decided to go ahead. I got diagnosed in 2015, and had eight months of consistent treatment. Felt a lot better, and...
Has anyone had great success with Dr. Zhang’s protocol? I was on it for a while, but the herxing really sidelined me, so I decided to take a break. I felt much better after I stopped (about a year or...
Any advice would be great! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday....
Hi, everyone! So, I just had a question. Does anyone else experience a dull, migratory pain in their legs at times? The only thing I can think to compare it to is “growing pains”; like when you were...
Girlie, thank you! That's kind of what I was assuming. So, you think they'd probably still be okay for me to take? Thanks for your expertise. I really appreciate it....
Does anyone who has used Dr. Zhang's protocol know about how long the herbs are good for? I've never thought to ask during my phone appointments. I found some extra that I forgot I had when I cleaned...
Looking to add a binder to my current protocol as I am without one. I’d like to try charcoal, but wanted to get a feel for which brand is the best/highest quality. Which ones do y’all use?...
It is interesting for sure, and trying to understand it fully seems to be futile. However, over the years, I have realized that there are many things in nature that are this was. Living things, no...
Same with me in regards to it coming and going. I’ll have days where I’m completely clear headed and have no problems focusing, and other days where reading is exhausting. It just depends, and...
Have you all found these symptoms (brain fog, dizziness, feeling off balance, etc) to be prominent in one disease over another? Like, is it more common to have neuro symptoms with Lyme over Bart or...
I’m sure I will, considering that it’s even a viable pregnancy in the first place. I have miscarried before. May be still too early to test at the moment, so I’ll give it another week....
Oh, and I forgot to mention: There’s a VERY slight possibility that I could be pregnant, but I haven’t checked yet. Not sure if that could factor in 🤷🏼♀️...
Hi, everyone! It’s been a minute. Just wanted to see if I could get some advice on some symptoms I’ve been having recently. Just for a short recap, I’ve been treating Lyme naturally for three years,...
Hi, guys! Just a quick question. I’ve heard (and seen) that Bartonella rashes generally look like stretch marks; or some version of them. I’m sure everyone’s are not the same. I’ve got this small...
I guess I have my answer if no one has ever used them before! Lol...
They've got lots of different powders for different things: https://www.sunpotion.com/ Lots of them are herbs/roots like He Shou Wu, Ashwaghanda, Astralagus, etc. But they've also got combo powders,...
Hi, everyone. Has anyone used any of the Sun Potion products? I’ve heard from a couple of friends who have Lyme that they improved their overall health (or at least made them feel better), but I’ve...
Hey, y’all. So, I’ve been having more nerve pain than usually (mostly in my arms, legs, hands, and feet). I was just wondering if y’all had any pro tips to lessen the symptoms! Any and all advice is...
Hi, astroman - thanks for the response. No, no bruising there yet. I usually do bruise, though. It’s just this weird tight, kind of pinchy pain that’s worrying me a bit. I know it’s only been a few...
Hi, everyone- Just wanted to have some folks weigh in on this. On Monday, I had my blood drawn at my regular Doc’s office for a Bart test and a CBC. I usually only feel pain when the needle first...
Hmm, that's a good point, Girlie. I guess we'll see how the test turns out. Even if it's negative, I'm more than aware that that doesn't mean I don't have it. I may have had it all along. Who knows?...
Hi! Thanks for the replies, guys. I don't think we've ever specifically targeted Bartonella in my treatment, no. However, I was told that the protocol as a whole would treat Lyme & Co. Not sure if...
Hi, everybody! It's been a while since I've been around. My name is Amanda, and I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme almost three years ago. I've been much better; treatment included pulsing abx and a...
Girlie, thank you for those. They're great. Traveler, is becoming reinfected common? For me, I can't even recall when or where I was bitten. I've been to plenty of places that it could have happened...
I'm sorry for such a negative post, but I'm becoming very discouraged despite my treatment going well. I've been in treatment since late December and already have some totally symptom free days. I've...
It was actually my LLMD who said that you can get rid of the bacteria. This may be his opinion, but I will ask him during my next appointment why he thinks that and his experiences with past patients...
Thanks, Traveler! Maybe you can clear this up for me, because I've heard mixed reviews. Even after you are healed, you always have a chance of relapse? Like, you still have Lyme even after you are...
Hi all, For those of you who have recovered and have been symptom free for a fairly long time, did you go back to eating foods that you ate before you were infected? Like gluten, sugar, dairy, etc....
LB, What is oil pulling? Do you have any resources I could go to to learn how to do it? Or do you have it done by a professional? I was also looking into lymphatic drainage therapy. There is a spa in...
It's been a little over a week. This is like, the 9th day. I had been drinking lemon water fairly consistently but that was all....
