How wonderful @Ace. My husband drove me for a full year to my monthly appointments with Dr. C in Mt Kisco NY (6 hour round trip). I was lucky to have grown up near there and when I started making the...
thanks so much, I have a local LLMD who added the Doxy and I don't see the specialist until late October. Was worried it might be too much and was worried Bactrim alone was not enough. Started...

Leah, sorry you are going through this. Your story is similar to mine - I agree with traveler in that you need to take care of your adrenals to keep your body functioning. After I found an LLMD in Mt...

Excellent advice to get levels checked by and expert. I was in treatment for lyme & Babesia but still struggling until I read about getting hormones checked on here or from a lyme book. The first MD...

Dave, If you decide to have the surgery I would avoid taking Prednisone. That is sometimes very bad with lyme disease. It exacerbated my lyme symptoms and made me psychotic - quickly resolved once...
Once again, if she had cancer it would be a whole different story. IMHO....
My left ear also seems plugged since lyme. Actually lost complete hearing twice which was very scary...now stuffed or pops in out. Very annoying but can live with it....
Right before my lyme diagnosis I had my septum fixed. I also had the extra tissue in my throught removed. Best thing I ever did. Used to have pnd but in reality think it was really reflux. No pnd no...
I watch RHO Beverly Hills and when I saw David tell Yolanda's daughter "he didn't sign up for this" referring to her illness I knew he wouldn't stay. I am sure we can all relate to the troubles...

Happy to see the progress you have made. Most of us have had those days where we never thought we would get better- I know I did. But we persevere and plunder on doing what we can to get better and I...
Although I am feeling great most of the time these days - still get migraines though...For me it is when the weather makes a drastic change. Like if a big front comes in before a storm I will start...

Traveler, so sorry to hear this, however he is a lucky man to have you at his side. Your knowledge of herbs and chronic tonic will surely help him recover. Just wish we had a magic elixir that would...
This just came across my twitter feed and I passed it on to two coworkers who have kids just diagnosed with Lyme. We have 1 doctor in the area who actually treats lyme - 1!...
I will check into essential oils thanks for the tip. They might be better than being covered with DEET!...
