Thanks, all, for your input - I'm going to try it. Keep reading that the 40 dose ends up being too much for many folks - even my doc said that my happen and is thinking 20 will work for me as I am...
Thanks for your thoughtful responses. Found out today the IGeneX faxed the results to my LLMD - she just didn't see them in her in-box on time for the apt. Son of a gun....

Have you had your adrenals tested? Could be adrenal fatigue - may be they can't take the extra "hit" your getting with the T3 and armour and they are "wearing down" by noon. Also you can look into...
So..went to my LLMD to get my IGeneX results. Blood was withdrawn and shipped to IGeneX on July 23...and my LLMD still didn't have the results. So I proceeded to breakdown and sob with frustration...
Hi DLVS, I've been where you are - thyroidectomy in 2006...took me three years or so to feel "normal"...are you on T4 only or Amour (T4 and T3) or ?? I had, I think, the opposite experience of most...

I only lasted 3 weeks on doxy - my doc decided she couldn't decide whether I was herxing or having a bad reaction to the doxy. I was sick most of the time - had a couple of good days in those three...
Thanks all for the support! Did blood work today - 13 vials! including 2 for IGeneX - and only panicked for a few moments. Proud of myself, actually. :) Still feeling awful...can't wait to hear the...
Fairly new to the lyme scene - tho I think I've had lyme for a while - symptoms got much much worse as of this March/April. I'm scared today and I have to ask - we can expect okay days and BAD days,...
Thanks WWJD20 - you coffee achiever you! I imagine in some people drinking caffeine leads to a craving of more stimulants, but not in my case. I have actually cut it out completely but its only a...
Giving up sugar is bad enough - but understandable. Why is caffeine a no no with lyme? MojoZ...
Thanks peacesoul...btw, why is caffeine a no no....I understand sugar and gluten but not caffeine? - has to do with adrenal function and combating lyme? or does it "feed" the bacteria too...?...

Thanks Achievinggrace - by step up do you mean the epsom baths, etc.? Wish I could take naps more often - working a full-time job doesn't help! CAN'T WAIT to turn that corner. :) Thinking of going...
Ditto on the random panic attacks - night, day, etc. - and they wear me out for a while after they happen. I've been tying it to Lyme...are you currently treating? The high blood pressure should be...
