Hi, I thought I would add my two cents (doesn't buy much these days). I also have Polycythemia. The symptoms are a lot like Lyme. I thought they were part of Lyme until my Doctor noticed my blood was...
Hey, has anyone had this symptom. When I work out on the Recumbent Bike or any type of Cardio machine my heart rate rises fast in the first couple of minutes to 120 then drops back to 80 while I...
Thanks everyone for giving your vaccine comments. I hope to get the Pfizer Vaccine this week. I appreciate all the comments both pro and con....
I thought I would add to the costochondritis notes. My first symptom was pain so severe I was in the Cardiac Care Unit for a week and they told me every day that if I lived through the night I would...
Girlie, I get it. I have seen in my local Lyme group such dissention. Some want to get the vaccine while others believe it is like walking the plank. People that have been friends for years are now...
This is a very charged issue for people that are already immune compromised. I get it being scared and wondering what is true in today's world. This is a scary illness and its hard to find what is...
I was going to say could it be asthma and or allergies. This time of year I get the throat clearing issue because I don't always take my asthma meds (try to stay away as much as possible due to the...
Thanks for replying Girlie. Yes they are testing for Lyme. Many of the people I know are long term Lyme patients and a number now have tried disulfiram. No one up to this point has had their blood...
Does anyone know how long you should wait after being on ABX or Disulfiram to get your blood tested. A friend of mine has just finished 4 months of Disulfiram and wants to send her blood to Igenx for...
Sam, I wanted to say you can do mold cleanup yourself. You just have to be very careful and Wear the proper equipment. I did my bathroom myself, including ripping off the walls and treating the...
Thanks Tim Tam. I know that I found just reading all your posts made me feel better. I have lived with my health anxiety all my life. Its not easy, as all of you know. I meditate and occasionally...
LindenLady, I am going to switch back for a while as a trial. I have been taking Cozaar for 15 years with no cough. Something changed in the last year. I changed pharmacy's and I also had pneumonia...
I was once told when you go to the bathroom take three deep breaths and breath to what ever pattern feels right. If you do this consistently it does help my anxiety. I also provides a good laugh in a...
I have IgA nephropathy and take losartan. I never had a problem with the dry cough until I started to take the generic form. It of course is 3 times cheaper than the brand name. I was once told by a...
I just wanted to say I think you are all wonderful. I got Lyme when I was 20 years old. In my 60's now. No one knew what it was back then. I had panic/anxiety attacks the likes of which I hope none...
Thanks for replying. I have found a solution for now. I use Kinesiology tape over the bulge and it stops the throbbing. In fact it is almost like it is not there. Don't know how it is on your skin...
I looked through the vein issues for Lyme but could not find mine. Has anyone had this happen, on my wrist I have what appear to be a vein (although it seems to have a pulse) popping up like a little...
I have also heard you should watch products that have alcohol in them that you might use. They can react with Disulfiram....
I believe you are right Girlie. I've tried many things over the years to help my kidney's and they have slowly declined, then treat the infections and they rapidly improve. If I want to ask a...
Girlie and Walkingbyfaith, thank-you for the welcome. It has been a long road as I am sure most of you can relate to. I find it very frustrating that a large number of MD's still don't believe you...
After coming to this site and finding information I have found no where else, I had to join. You people show amazing compassion and knowledge. I have had Lyme Disease I believe for 35 years...
