One note for people who use britas: make sure you are replacing the filter every 1-2 months. I have friends who replace the filter once a year. Replace them often, otherwise they won't be actively...
Just curious if anyone else experiences the same thing as me. About once every 4-6 weeks I experience one night of what I can describe as intense flu like symptoms: body/neck aches, very bad headache...
It started before, I was very careful while on DSF to avoid any additional neuropathy...
@saraeli yes I just recently started going after the neuroinflamation but only since last week so we'll see if that helps at all. Going from a supplement standpoint and slowly getting active again...
@dcd2103 No insurance unfortunately, but I am in Canada and it looks like there are some instances where IVIG can be covered. How often would you do the treatment? once a month? Early on in my...
Thank you @dcd2103 for your response! This all makes sense to me. I will say though that I am pretty confident that there is no infection left after all treatment I have done. It seems more and more...
Honestly feeling a bit discouraged. I finished up the double dapsone protocol (Horrowitz) and I am not feeling any better, perhaps a bit worse off. Before this treatment I did DSF for 8 months, 4...
Thanks everyone for the replies. I am going to shop around at different pharmacies because looks like the meds are required. @Girlie, were you ever able to look at your at your paperwork regarding...
Hey everyone I am going to start the double dapsone protocol next month. Dapsone, Rifampin, Doxy, HCQ. Along with serrapeptase, oil of oregano, 5MTHfolate, NAC, ALA, berberine, and obviously plenty...
Hey Horsegirl. Sorry to hear about your struggles. These stories are all too familiar :( I am in Toronto too. I was seeing a LLND (Dr. K) in Mississauga, saw some improvement but plateau'd. I am now...
Hey KeyLyme, Have you tried walk in clinics? I know Dr. McShane mentioned some of us Canadians found a doctor in a walk in clinic who was willing to help. It may take 4 or 5 different clinics but...
Hope everyone is doing well today. So I had a little brain fart moment, for the past 3 weeks... My doctor told me about not taking doxy with any dairy product or anything containing calcium. I don't...
I live in Ontario but see a LLMD in Plattburgh NY which is near Vermont. I would recommend her, if you want more info send me an email. L....
See what your LLMD says. I was kind of in the same boat as you. Although I wouldn't advise it for everyone, I did a juice and raw food cleanse for a week leading up to my Abx which had me feeling...
Where in Canada are you located?...
Hey MrRex, I am 23 as well... had moderate symptoms for 3 and half years before others emerged. Just like you, I had unexplained fatigue, depression/anxiety and trouble thinking. I just lived with it...
Hey Maine, I am definitely consider myself still a bit insecure from the early years. However people view me as being relatively confident which is kind of funny! Regarding the head games, it is a...
You are right pickle, it's simple but enlightening advice. And you right as well Margaret, it is hard not be thinking about them at my age but if it's adding more anxiety and taking up a lot of...
Having a real hard time with my anxiety right now, hoping some fellow lymies can give some insight into this. This isn't totally lyme induced, but it does make my situation worse. I just really need...
Lymebabe, Yeah from what I've heard any type of colon cleansing is great for detoxing! Though I've read in a few places that coffee enemas are better, as the alkaloids in the coffee stimulate the...
I'll add the activated charcoal in there as well! Bluebyyou, totally. I definitely will keep up with probiotics!...
I've always been curious as to what people here do for detox. I've picked up a few things here and there but not anyone's entire detox protocol. I start antibiotics later this week and plan on doing:...
These stories are great. For those who still stick around here once getting better, you are our beacons of hope! But it makes sense, once you get healed, you want to pick up where you left off and...
I am a big fan of him. One of the best Canadian lyme docs until he got shut down. Have a link for this lecture by any chance? L....
Thanks guys. Looks like I can save a bunch of money then. Oh and I know, I've heard that Dr. M doesn't hold back. I'm prepared for a rough time. L....
Hey All, So I just got back from seeing Dr M. in Plattsburgh on tuesday, had a great appointment. I definitely think I made the right choice going with her. I am excited to get started on antibiotics...
Hey Bluebyyou, I have definitely experienced that before. I once did a coconut oil cleanse and it produced some of the worst candida herxes I have ever experienced. When I brought it up with my LLND...
Don't let the "doc" get you down. Get yourself into a LLMD/ND asap. Sounds like a herx to me for sure, have you been detoxing?...
Ah I hope it's working well for ya! I'm in Southern Ontario....
Just saw this now, thanks Thrive! I will be filling out an application soon! Cheers....
For the few Canadians here: I know this may be wishful thinking and is an oxymoron, but is there any good insurance companies out there for lyme? (Lol) I am going heading down to see Dr. M in...
It could be a herx. The water should be warm not hot. If it is indeed too hot you may be killing off lyme bacteria (which you don't want to be doing in a detox bath!) So try dialling back the heat a...
bump! There has to be some Ontario Lymies who have looked into this!...
Yes! Chlorella is a very good detoxifier. It is known to bind to metals in your body and send them on their way among other things. You should never cheap out with chlorella (or Spirulina) from south...
I left out a couple things in my original post... I know I will still be responsible for the doctor's fees but hopefully the antibiotics would be covered by the Trillium Drug Program. Also I really...
Thanks Rowingmom. I have heard about canadadrugs.com and that is always an option need be. I have gained a lot of interest in herbal protocols especially Cowden's and Buhner's. I still want to give...
Hey all, first time posting. I was diagnosed with lyme by an Ontario LLND in August 2013. Also IGenex IgM positive, Canadian ELISA negative. Started treatment with said LLND in September but I have...
