Hello, all. I'm looking into ketamine IV infusions for chronic pain. I've had chronic nerve pain for a long time, and my doctors highly recommend this treatment. I'm ready to give it a go, but I'm...
When I'm herxing, epsom salts baths really help me. I fill up the tub with warm water. Hot water could give you the shakes. Bring a heater into the bathroom if you need it to keep warm, and keep it...
Hello. I don't know about your specific issue, but Woodland Essence makes an excellent tincture called Bladder Support that is supposed to make it easier to use the bathroom. About the fast heart...
Hello, AmyG. Many people, myself included, are told they don't have Lyme because a test came back negative. I was told this even though the doctor *knew* I had it. She wanted to protect herself from...
Hello, Szabo246. That sounds awful! A PT told me that coconut oil is not only an awesome non-irritating lubricant, but it is also antibacterial. Might be worth a try. Another idea is to see an...
That sounds really hard. I don't have Asperger's, but dang, making any decisions about Lyme is hard! Lyme also makes sensory input overwhelming for me. Before I just really hated tags in clothes and...
Hello, BlackTara. I have heard that attorneys can help. Also, one of my doctors told me I always have the right to refuse a test. Granted, they may not be able to help me if I refuse all the tests...
Hmmmm. Lyme disease and mental health is a really difficult issue. I can give you my (unqualified) opinion, hope it will help! I believe that Lyme disease *directly* causes anxiety and depression....
I'm so sorry you've lost your kitty. Cats are so special, and they always seem to know when we are feeling sick and need comfort. It is heartbreaking to lose your cat. Lyme disease can be so...
Hello, BlackTara. Yoga, moxibustion (using what the acupuncturist calls a "belly bowl"), exercise, getting hot, and traditional Chinese medicine herbs all help me with treating the Lyme with little...
I'm also super interested in the tyrosine idea. It sounds wonderful. Can you provide some more information on how to take Tyrosine or get it into one's diet? Also, how does one apply the word of...
I can tell you about two (privately as per forum policy via email if you wish). One in NC does Vital Plan (Rawls) protocol. I've had kinda meh results with the NP there, but maybe the other...
I had to stop gluten. It made my joint pain go away almost completely....
Hello, all. I'm new here but have had Lyme for a long time, been in treatment for three years now. I use many of the herbs from the Buhner protocol. I'm too chemically sensitive to take a lot of...
For me, it's more about the amount than the type of antispirochetal, and I don't think there is any one formula because everyone is a little different. I'm sorry you're in terrible pain. I am too. I...
You may check out the Buhner book (Healing Lyme, second edition) p. 221 for herbs to help with anxiety. He also has on p. 222 homeopathic aconite 30C 4 pellets dissolved in half cup of water sipped...
I'm not 100% sure on ELISA, but if it is measuring antibodies/your immune response against Lyme, my doctor says you'll get a positive result on this kind of tests after you're getting better. Lyme...
I'm sorry to hear you're sick. Bad days never get easier just because they happen often, you know? Maybe there is something that triggered it. There are so many things that can, especially foods and...
