I'd been doing pretty well in front of the computer until this week. Now it seems like the screen is exacerbating the problem. I've been able to hold on to my job up til this point, but that might...
Hi saraeli - It's hard to know whether the mold protocol is helpful, considering that my symptoms keep flaring up. Since I'm not treating for lyme, is it possible this is all a detox reaction? I am...
Girlie - I've done lyme and co-infections testing through Quest, as well as Igenex spot and IgG and IgM band testing. I've only ever come up with one positive band, negative on everything else....
I’m seeing a functional medicine doctor. He said I need to treat MCAS and mold first and if I’m still not improving, then we’ll treat for Lyme. All of my tests were negative though....
Detoxing is my main treatment right now. Otherwise, I’m on a couple binders, many many supplements, doing IV nutrient therapy and of course, very strict diet. I haven’t made progress so that’s why I...
So I’ve only been treating mold toxicity for about a month now but man, I am feeling hopeless and discouraged. I was an extremely healthy, active, vibrant young woman before I got sick. I have an...
I enjoy the sauna - not sure if it alleviates my specific symptoms, but I feel generally better afterward. Also good for meditation and mental health. My doc doesn't think I can handle glutathione...
I felt worse, then felt slightly better, then had a couple bad days again. I have symptoms every day - some days are okay, and some are unbearable. It does seem like the internal vibrations have...
Hi all, I'm currently treating for mold and MCAS and although it is early, I'm feeling discouraged by my lack of progress/exacerbation of symptoms. For almost 2 weeks I've been on: GI detox+ binder...
The doctor that ran the first Igenex test for me was an LLMD. Paid $1500 for him between two appointments, and he told me I was negative for lyme. I only saw the full results because I asked him to...
Girlie - I was IND on bands 23, 31, and 41 on Igenex IgM. IND on bands 23 and 41 on Igenex IgG. I've shown these results to several doctors and had all of them say they can't treat based on those...
It doesn't feel like a cell phone vibration, more like a large truck has just passed by and my body trembles in response. But it's all internal - you can't see me visibly shaking. I don't have...
Hi all, Had my follow up appointment with functional medicine LLMD last week. Tested negative for lyme and co-infections on all bloodwork (Quest and Igenex spot). Based on my results, he's putting me...
If my doctor does end up treating me for the viruses and not lyme, what can I expect? I'm guessing I won't go on antibiotics in that case, but will treatment take just as long? In our first appt he...
Hey Girlie, I'm not sure, I haven't looked up the viruses very much because I just got the results today. Trying not to overwhelm myself with info before meeting with my doctor again. I've posted my...
MAN, my health issues are really like an onion. Still pulling back layer after layer. I've been suspicious of lyme and co for several months and finally got to a competent functional medicine doctor....
Wow, Faith. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this. What test did you do with your doctor to officially diagnose mold toxicity? I'm down to the wire in the next few weeks and don't want to start...
Saraeli - most likely have MCAS. I developed allergies out of nowhere a few months into my sickness. A few reactions were so frightening I now carry an epi-pen. Did your MDDS subside once you started...
Thanks saraeli for your thorough replies. Do porous belongings include all clothes? I've read a few posts about washing clothes with vinegar or Borax solution. I think I could manage replacing my...
Ugh - saraeli, that’s what I’m afraid of. Doing all that work is going to be really tough if I’m still dealing with the MDDS when I move. Do you have any suggestions on how to alleviate it? Or do I...
Lightlife - I was already suspicious of environmental factors at my apartment in the fall, when they started doing construction (sandblasting old paint, scraping old wood, resolving termite damage,...
WalkingByFaith - I stayed with a friend for a couple nights and I’m going to check into a hotel for a few days to see if it alleviates some of my symptoms. Will have to figure out what to do for the...
@ Lightlife - yes, I flew cross country from PA to CA on 1/3. Could that have set it off?...
Hi All, I was treating lyme and bart for about two weeks on an herbal protocol from a homeopathic doctor. The regimen is pretty intense but I was doing well for the first couple weeks. I was home for...
Hi all - I've been sick for 6 months now and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with me. I’m doing a brain MRI on Monday to rule MS in or out, but I’ve been suspicious of Lyme for a while....
