Email sent, Szabo and Medical Nerd.......
Hey everyone, Let's TALK (old school, via actual phone calls!) Forums and emails are good, but we can cover a TON more info over a phone call, in my opinion. I've received some helpful info to my...
I will send along that email, Medical Nerd. I'm not sure about the epsom salt bath part, though. I think that will give you a big shot of magnesium but nothing else. I always just used a few specific...
Thanks! Yes, I'm not quite sure what to do about the apartment. From what I can tell, I don't see any evidence of current or past water damage. One problem here is that there isn't good access to the...
I'm recently back into this mold/lyme mess after a few years of being fine. What I relied on in the past (and gotten better) with Ackerley/Shoemaker protocols, so I am trying to stick to their...
Over the years, I found that I could pretty much avoid herxing altogether if I got right in my sauna after whatever treatement I was doing. You need to take water and electrolytes before, during and...
At any rate, it certainly seems like I need to get off my lazy, cheap butt and at least read a $10 book download...!!...
Well, how about reading his "Toxic" book instead? I haven't yet but am hearing good things about it. It's only $10 for the e-book download. If anyone who has read the book also springs for the $300,...
More updates: I got my HERTSMI2 results back, and I added up a "score" of 14. Aspergillus penicilloides was the biggest offender, at 240 spore E./mg. The amounts for the other 4 species were 11, 13,...
Garzie - you are reflecting one of my general concerns about testing, etc. from my previous experiences with all this stuff! I certainly understand the "general consensus" approach to lab results,...
UPDATE: I've sent off a Hertsmi test for my apartment, along with a nasal MARCONS swab test - still awaiting results. Next up is probably the Great Plains Mycotox and IGE Mold allergy urine test....
Hi SCGirl - I have a fairly thorough amount of experience with most of the issues you have mentioned. My email address is in my profile. Feel free to email me directly - then phone calls are the most...
Thanks for the idea. I am sort of an insomniac, and waking up in the middle of every night would be problematic. What I am trying to do for the present is to take two doses with an hour or so...
My best guess/advice would be to do a phone consult with Dr. Ackerley in Tucson, if you can't afford to go see her in person. She is the absolute cutting edge in successful treatment for mold/lyme...
Hi All, Thanks again for the thoughtful replies! And I am also absolutely guilty of being long-winded too !! It's been so long that I don't even remember if I herxed the first time I started CSM....
Thanks for the info, folks! I'm still working on it, and apparently I need to because I'm pretty sure I've been herxing for a few days now.......
I'm digging around trying to find the best approach to taking cholestyramine 3x a day. I usually eat two meals a day, and there are 2 times/day that I need to take supplements/meds etc. I'm trying to...
Hi Everyone - Here's an update: I consulted with a different ILADS-listed ND here in Georgia, and I'm very encouraged initially. I gave her a pretty extensive medical history, and specifically what...
Hi - Yes, they treated me for co-infections a while back. My current symptoms don't sound like they describe babesia or bartonella. I've been making a long timeline for my next LLMD appointment,...
Thank you for the info, Girlie. WalkingbyFaith, if you or the other respondents might email me (I THINK I just put my email address in my info) I could send you that bloodwork like you were asking...
WalkingByFaith -- how do I send you some PDFs? (And you other respondents too, if you're interested?...
DUMB QUESTION!! How do I Private Message members and can I attach PDF files to that? I've been searching around here for instructions, but can't find any so far.......
Hi All, Thanks so much for the replies. The C4a test was actually about 1 1/2 years ago. No other specific CIRS tests that I know of, but will PM you the results and maybe you can actually tell me....
Hi Folks, I may be dealing with more mold/lyme problems after 3 or 4 years of remission. I'm trying to figure out where to start again this time..... Background - Previously, I had about 8 years of...
