Thanks all for your comments!!! How did I do it? Well, I have to tell you upfront that my condition was not very bad, although I remember I counted like 25 symptoms. One key thing for me was to keep...
Hi there, 6 years ago approximately I was diagnosed with Lyme and a number of comorbidities. I went through a rough patch. I was lucky enough to get diagnosed quite quickly and I was treated in...
Thanks Garzie and Girlie for your comments. The rash had almost disappeared last Friday, that is probably after three days since the bite (maximum 5 days since the bite). No fever, no other symptoms....
Thanks potsnpans and WalkingbyFaith for your opinion. My idea is giving her amoxicillin for 15 days (2 or 3 gr per day) at least. I am pretty sure that if we go to the ER she will get discharged...
We don't know as she did not saw any tick. In principle, since she first noticed the bite until this picture, would have been 4 days the longest possible, but it was probably shorter, like 2 days. I...
Thanks a lot RainyCloud for the tip. Dear all, please check the picture here: https://ibb.co/F739x7R and give me your opinion. Highly appreciated. A bullseye can be appreciated although it is quite...
Hi there, my daughter is enjoying a few days in a summer camp in the mountains and she just sent me a picture of what I guess is erythema migraines (I, myself, have (had?) lyme and she is fully aware...
Hi, sure you have to take care with non diluted essential oils. I also take OoO likewise trekkar does. I put 4 drops of undiluted OoO and I add like 3 to 5 ml of olive oil. I stirr it well and...
Over the months it affected my thyroids by increasing TSH. Upon stopping mino, my TSH levels went back to normal. I advice you monitor your thyroids function. Pillin....
It's been a while since my last post. I was given Pfizer vaccine last Thursday, no adverse effects other than some soreness in the area of the shot that lasted 48h. Did I doubt about getting the...
So boring the mask discussion. Why does poeple makes it a political philosophical or religious issue? Simply a nonsense. If you could ask those who died because of not wearing the mask, you would...
Astroman, fully concur. Yes, sir!!...
Yes Girlie, unless I can keep social distancing outdoors. Indoors (shared office or the like) sure. And ventilation. Lots of it....
Hi ChristianWithLyme, sure you can die at 92 or 95 years old because you were wearing a mask during this pandemic. How sad! Then your heirs will be able to sue the company making the masks and go to...
This political / religious mask debate In “some” countries is a nonsense. It’s a pity and a shame the hundreds of thousand of people that will die simply to not wear a mask. And counting... Human...
Sorry, but all this H2 story makes no sense at all. Don’t waste your money with this!...
Kudos then to have an experienced person! But completely disagree with the idea that a mask does not protect yourself. Simply does not make sense!!...
Hi Girlie, why masks should not protect you also? That is nonsense. Provincial Health Officer should think a bit more before talking. In Spain the Health minister has no education on science /...
Hi ChristianWithLyme, I am also a Christian with lyme (Catholic). I don’t think wearing a mask bears a risk. Fine, you can have some unnoticeable hypoxia, same thing as living at 1500 m (4500 feet)...
For the economy to run people must be alive. No people, no economy....
Some of the countries affected the most: USA, UK, Brasil, Russia. They have in common leaders that have neglected the threat. Big mistake. I am based in Spain and we have suffered a lot but the...
Please, do wear masks! This is a no brainer! Forget politicians (I am being generous here) and use common sense and a bit of science. Masks, social distancing, clean your hands. Only with this we...
I have taken monolaurine in the past. To be honest, not sure if it did anything. I was taking two scoops per day. Can try again. I was positive with CMV like 15 years ago, but not recently... I have...
Hardly... may be some stiffness in my neck and some mild headache... but headache I think is related to metronidazole but now that I am off, still there... But not sore throat or any other...
Hi Running wild, not fatigue, but I don't feel like doing things, like normally I do... Well, in your case was EBV in mine it may well be CMV... How did you treat it?...
Hi there, it's been a while since last time I posted. After being off abx for 11 months things have gone pretty well. Some symptoms still there but clearly on decline. During this period I have been...
Hi Heartsinpain, Take lots of kefir! This is what worked for me whilst in antibiotics for 18 months. Ideally with the empty stomach. I took very few probiotics in capsules but plenty of kefir. Pillín...
I concur fully with Luvstruck`s comments. I know first hand people engaged in a clinical trial that were given a few grams (I think it was 6 gr) of melatonin daily for a few weeks and it was safe and...
Well, pulsing here is probably not the word. My idea is to have a course of abx for 4 weeks while pulsing Flagyl. After this course I wanted to stop for a few months (3 or 4) to see how it goes and...
Hi there, I am off synthetic abx since the end of last November. This is exactly 4 months. Since then I have been taking a number of herbs following Bunher’s indications for Lyme and Bartonella,...
Hi saraeli, While I think essential oils can be very helpful (I take oregano oil) I don’t think they have any significant penetration through the skin. Actually our skin is a very effective shield...
Hi MartinK, I have been also doubtful as what amount of essential oil of oregano should I take. My approach has been the following: - I take it one week on, one week off (just in case of some...
Hi Girlie, yes, have a look. Of course, everybody reacts differently to abx. In my case I tolerated them extremely well, but in this case I had a rise of TSH. But good to keep an eye on it. When I...
Hi all, Ok, two months have elapsed since I suddenly dropped minocycline because my TSH went up to 8,01. 15 days after dropping it, my TSH was down at 7,06. Was that difference an error of the...
Thanks Saraeli for your comments. One thing I can rule out: endometriosis, because I don't have an uterus and I have never had it! I am a man. LOL. Yes, I though this can also be random Lyme /...
Hi there, it's been a couple of months since I have been having some disturbances (not really pain) in the upper right abdomen. It is not continuous but all of a sudden I feel this uncomfortable ache...
Hi xpeetzax, what I can tell you is that night terrors happened to me very often, with apparently no reason. But they were very scary and disturbing. I had some every one or two weeks. I started...
I have been on different abx combos + herbals for 15 months (the initial plan was 6 months though). I stopped abx 14 days ago (!!) and keeping the herbals now. So far so good. Hope it lasts many...
Hi KentuckyOconnor, when I started abx I did the following, diet wise, without hesitating: 1. Quit completely alcohol. It's been 15 months and I have not taken a single drop. And to be honest with...
Hi Girlie, correct, I am not saying there is a correlation yet, just saying that I am inclined to see correlation (because I want it to be). Need more data, for sure. I did another test 4 days after...
Hi folks, well, this morning I went for a blood work and I have already the results. I had to check my TSH, FT4 and TPO antibodies. 15 days ago and because TSH was above limits 8.1 (upper limit 4,94)...
Hi HeartsinPain, I have been on abx since Sept-17. A variety of combos of the following abx: amoxicillin, Minocyclin, Doxycycline, Azythromycin, Rifampicin, and two short pulses of metronidazole....
Hi there, as I have recently posted, my impression is that my LLMD will tell me to stop abx in the next appointment due in three weeks. I have been in different combos since Sept-17. All this time...
Girlie, regarding the discolouration of teeth I can tell you that indeed minocycline provokes it. Months ago I was quite terrified because in spite of good care of my teeth they were more and more...
Hi sierraDon (and the rest), actually I couldn't wait and I re-tested yesterday. I had stopped minocycline on Friday just in case it could be that. I have to say that I did the labs with another...
I am not referring to the reference range, but the inability to know if two measurements (even within the range) are effectively different or not (if standard deviation is not provided). That is my...
Does anybody know the error in the labs measurements in general? Are they provided in your case (not in mine)! All type of determinations go with errors (systematic or not). Measurements (any type)...
Thanks Girlie for the site. I will go through it. Regarding the interactions between amoxy and mino, indeed I realized those interactions but only just now. I trusted my Dr and didn't check at that...
Thanks sierraDon but I am based in Europe! :-) I will see what is around here......
Hi Girlie, you asked how we feel. Well, pretty well. I am not familiar with symptoms of hypothyroidism, but for what I have read, I don't think I have them. I have stopped Minocycline and will carry...
