1hr 50m - reckons that high dose dapsone helped many into remission but the 40 that failed still had issues with Bart and Babs. - discusses combination of DSF + doxy, rifampin, dapsone for...
Didnt watch all of it but watched Dr. H. Some cool snapshots (but you'll need to watch 10-15mins to get the whole picture): At 1hr and 32 min explores abx combination against single abx controls that...
ahhh what a refreshing thread! Great to see everyone's hobbies. I'm an INTJ. Reading (non-fiction all the way; Business, Personal Development, IT) Web Development / Programming Copywriting...
Thanks Jova, im toying with the idea of jumping on the DSF train in addition to my hella aggressive protocol.. But I'm also feel like im stalling trying to beat Bartonella. Will keep you posted!...
Echoing WalkingbyFaith; Intravascular Coagulation is a very real symptom of Bartonella - I introduced CSA and Rifampin months ago and it seemed to p*ss bartonella off, increasing my IC - I still have...
Thats crazy... not to mention there would be a lot of false negatives too...
I agree with jb1994 - most of the times ive considered going to the hospital I was right in my decision - not that they found anything sometimes or that theyve been helpful at all - but usually youre...
Newbie question but does ADC need prescriptions/scripts? I got through to the checkout and then it had a section that said; "Please send your prescription through fax +1(760) 284-5903 or you can...
1 band positive is still a positive. A negative doesn't mean you don't have it. Lyme or any other co-infection - especially knowing all co testing have notoriously bad false neg rates. Go by symptoms...
are you talking about this? "Identification of new drug candidates against Borrelia burgdorferi using high-throughput screening" -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4827596/ If so, it was...
JovaLyme: I didn't read the thread but just wanted to chime in on something that struck me. You said you got bitten by something in Australia and wondering if Lyme exists here. I have the answer......
Hey Casen, welcome to the forum (although unpleasant the circumstances that have prompted it). I’m also of similar age so i know what you’re feeling. The ID specialist most likely wont be of any...
Hey Brandon, sorry your here having to ask the question - but i wish you a warm welcome anyways. As for your symptoms I will say they definitely sound like lyme and its co-infections - at least in my...
Girlie, do you have any other symptoms that suggest H. Pylori? I recently had the full gamut of GI symptoms out of nowhere, so tested for C diff and H. Pylori and nothing came back positive - still...
Agreed - Sebreg said it all. I also agree that you've been exposed to borrelia - if thats the case then its also highly likely you've got the other pathogens (bartonella / babesia + more and more),...
Lymiemomster Sorry to hear about your son. I tested for Bart and the rest through ArminLabs with weak pos for Borrelia and negative for Babs and Bart. Though clinically with symptoms of head...
The Jay: You mentioned that you still had vision issues, very much like myself. Can you explain what kind of issues you've been experiencing?...
Szabo: Sorry to hear its happening to you also. Yup, my health anxiety is all over the show lately - doesn’t help at all. thanks…I’m also on the look out and will update this thread if/when any...
Hey everyone. I'm having some new symptoms crop up seemingly out of nowhere which have been most unpleasant to deal with - especially while I was doing so well (around 75-80%+ on good days). I'm at...
Thanks for all the responses guys. I just wanted follow up and update this thread for anyone else finding themselves in a similar situation. After much thinking I decided to get the tetanus shot as...
Yeah I can also confirm the moons on all my nails are disappearing (the only ones left are on my thumbs). Not sure whats causing it though....
Doxy and Mino cause darkening of the skin. Either that, or i've found they make your skin more sensitive to sunlight....
Hello and a warm welcome to the community! It definitely sounds like a Herx reaction and not a coincidence. Have you treated for Bart/Bab before w antibiotics or just a few herbs here and there over...
Hey guys, need some quick advice - I've just been bitten by a pet dog. Small bleeding puncture wounds but not too serious - Not sure if the dog is up to date with injections though etc. I've been...
My visual snow is pretty mild - but its one symptom that really gets me down. I haven't seen too many recent posts regarding vision/eye problems here. Does anyone have Visual Snow and/or Floaters? If...
Yeah plenty. *Weight loss - lost about 6-7kg of muscle (legs, chest, arms). Haven't been able to recover it. *Vascular coagulation - veins are a lot more prominent *Eyes - dark and sunken. I always...
I second goshawk; air hunger, head pressure and night sweats are highly indicative of Babs. goshawk, how are you doing now? did you manage to get rid of babesia or put it to rest? Im 7 months in...
Basically as the title says. Ive been treating since August/September. LLMD says were focusing on Babesia and Bartonella (and some viruses) first. I'm on the following: *1. Plaquenil - 1 x 200mg...
Good to know things are improving astroman - great inspo for the rest of us trying to get back into the gym. Interesting about your left bicep... You think its permanently damaged or you reckon you...
Oh and ill echo the Herbal route if money is tight. Some have success and some, well... Buhner's Protocol is a decent start - Get his books on whatever youre treating; lyme, bart, babesia. Can start...
"I did not Herx, is that s bad thing?" Generally, herxing is a good thing because its evidence of abx effectiveness. The idea is to kill microbes and then detox to rid your body of dead, toxic...
I am almost in the EXACT same situation as you... im 70-80% on good days and every 3ish weeks i have a huge flare/herx which i feel like im dead for about a week or sometimes longer. I also feel the...
Anyone feel free to correct me if i'm dead wrong, but i think it roughly works like this: If the tincture is recommended at 1:5 @ 30 drops then a 1:1 would essentially be 5 times as concentrated as...
Agree with sandyfeet. sebreg, if you plateau, do you increased the dose or do you switch the entire herbal protocol? ie. if plateau on CSA at 90 drops/day, do you stop taking it and use soemthing...
Whats bad about sulfa drugs? I hope this isn't such a noob question. Girlie: What kind of lesions? can yo udescribe whta they look / feel like? are they itchy? On the early introduction of abx/drugs...
Hoagie Thanks for the kind words.. Its probably bart making me super anxious/depressive. Ive always been a black and white thinker - its not good. bluelyme You’re an inspiration to a lot of us, me...
I was doing some research and stumbled upon ALS and Lyme… and right now, I am crippled by the anxiety induced reading about it. I am terrified i might have it or will develop it. I am 5-10 months...
I usually find some after herxing massively. Random areas like my legs, arms, shoulders. If herxing is the sign of abx working, then its probably a good thing that im finding them after herxing. That...
No ideas about the 20:1 Concentrated extract. But Sida Acuta at 1:5 (60% alcohol) tincture can be used 20-40 drops up to 4x daily. Powder at 1-3 tablespoons in water (Hot water extraction is best)....
Sounds like youre on the right track. I also have those babesia/bartonella streaks days after herxing. hows it going now a month later? are you still just using sida crypto hout knotweed and hawthorn...
Started on Doxy in Feb/Mar 2018 until I sought an LLMD - officially started treatment in August 2018. Just coming short of 5 months now. Plenty(some?) herxing still, but im worried about my treatment...
OP can you elaborate on these 'growths' youre finding on your body? Are they hard? soft? fleshy? is it pure bone? Where abouts are you finding them on your jaw? Hope you get some answers soon....
Wow, I didnt think this post would get any response. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts - really made for an intersting discussion.... ive listed my response below to all members. Girlie: Thanks...
Ive been lurking a bit and decided to join. I like the community here. Ive been treating this for 3 months so not long. Lately ive been struggling, very depressed about the whole situation, a bit...
