No, I haven't. But I'll def ask my doctor about it. Thanks!...
Thanks, Karen. I am hyper-sensitive to drugs and a little goes a long way with me. Always have been. I am only on 50mg but I swear it is taking a toll on me! I can't fathom adding another to...
Hello! Although I am not new to HealingWell, I am new to this particular forum. I have recently (several months ago) gotten on Pristiq for depression. I now seem to feel exhausted all of the time as...
Well, wow, I just don't know where to begin! I have been seeing a PA in my GP's office. I've started having dizzy and near-fainting spells back in November and now lower limb weakness and muscle...
I had no idea antibiotics could make you feel so crappy. I don't know if I can do this! Just started them this week. My questions: Why do we need to take so may antibiotics at one time? And why do...
Are you seeing a LLMD? If not, please send out a request for the names of LLMDs in your area (I know there are a couple). I think you should have the urine problem checked out TODAY by any doctor...
I am being treated by the LLPA in Asheville and I think she is wonderful. Let me know if you have any questions. She worked with the LLMD in Asheville for many years, and now works with Dr. J in DC...
Well this is just what I logged on to discuss with you all today - headaches! Mine begin at the base of my skull and spread up and around to my forehead and behind eyes. I have one daily, and I've...
I have had a couple of bouts with lower back pain recently - for no good reason unless it is Lyme. Just p-a-i-n. Not on abx yet, but soon will be....
Hi Greany1979. I wonder if you'd please email me by clicking on the envelope under my forum name and tell me who and where the LLMD is in Mississippi that you saw. I may be changing soon. Thanks!...
I am seeing the PA in Asheville. Email me if you wish....
You might go to Igenex website and get some info. I believe you need a medical provider's order. My symptoms hit me like a Mack truck overnight following a busy 4-day road trip. I woke up on July 30...
Thanks you all. But what I'm wondering is, does the CPAP help if you have central apnea? I don't even have obstructive apnea - I'm just have hypopneas, which is partial obstruction. Has anyone had...
I got up on July 30th of 2013 and could barely walk due to pain in knees. My whole body hurt. Began having sharp shooting pains in large muscles like thighs and upper arms. Hurt, popped, and creaked...
That is what I was wondering - if CPAP would work. It is going to cost me another couple of thousand just to go sleep with one at the sleep clinic. I can't imagine that the Santa Ana Winds blowing...
Hi everyone. I began having sleep disturbances a year or so ago. I would wake myself up not breathing or gasping for air. I would sometimes have to sit up on the side of the bed and deep breathe for...
Hi Akkami. So sorry you are having a rough time. (Okay, I typed that sentence three times before I got it right - I seem to be Dyslexic today!) Depression goes along with not having a diagnosis and...
You should really consult a trained counselor. Most insurance policies will cover some amount of counseling. If you don't have insurance coverage, then possibly a minister or mental health or other...
Hi Jackie - how are you doing?...
Hi Mystery1. I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time. I know the feeling of not knowing to whom to listen, whom to believe, etc. Sounds like you have a lot going on physically and...
I have not yet started abx; I am still building my immune system with nutrients and probiotics. It seems my symptoms have gotten a bit better. I was having trouble eating, too - dropping food out of...
I, too, have had issues with balance, poor coordination, the "dropsies," and poor dexterity. Sorry that you're having these problems, too, but it is reassuring to hear someone share about it, so...
Hi RoGo. I have been diagnosed with Lyme as well, and while reading your symptoms, I was amazed that we have many of the same symptoms. I went gluten-free and definitely felt better....
I am wondering if any of you can shed light on the effects of Lyme and/or coinfections on our reflexes. When I was examined the first time by my LLNP, I didn't have a gag reflex. I know for a fact...
Morristown, _________?...
Hi gingeranne8. Lyme is very individualistic and symptoms vary from person to person. However, you have some of the same symptoms as I, and many symptoms of others in this forum. I haven't started...
Hi gingeranne. I, too, am located in East Tennessee. I would be happy to share information with you about my medical provider if you click on the blue envelope under my name and send me a personal...
Thank you all for your responses. It is so reassuring that I am not alone! And most of all that I am not making this stuff up! I have had tachycardia also. I'm sure it is due to Lyme. I could spend...
My friend just sent me this article. Heart symptoms are some of my worst. In fact, I've had palpitations all day today. One of my first symptoms back in August when I knew something was truly wrong...
Thanks, MarieLS!...
Thanks Garden Peace. I've had vitreous detachments but not retinal. No probs with vision today, but think I'll go get eye checked since it's time anyhow....
Has anyone had any such symptom as this? I was sitting in a restaurant today listening to my friend who was sitting across from me, and all of a sudden there was a loud "pop" and a bright "flash"...
I understand, Asada13, and I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed. I,too, was recently diagnosed, and have yet to stop being in denial! I want another test (the third) just to make certain before I...
Usually people catch us off-guard when making comments like that. There are so many times, in retrospect, when I wish I'd said....... It's better to get into a habit of laughing and saying something...
An inflamed esophagus would explain why I felt like everything from my lungs to my brain were swollen - and all of that might have been inflamed. The air hunger was one of my first symptoms and...
Thanks for the reality check - I, too, am suffering from over-do from Thanksgiving. So far, I've accomplished very little this week and have felt horrible. Moving like I'm rusted and feeling like I'm...
Thanks, Dred. I didn't become ill until July 30th when I woke up and could barely walk. Then an onslaught of symptoms set in for at least a month. Now I am feeling much better but have episodes, such...
Mystery1, I too would be interested to know the LLMDs in Memphis area, but when I clicked on your forum name there was no email address available. Would you mind to email me the names? Thanks!...
airmanricemommy - click on her forum name over to left. Mystery1, I too would be interested to know the LLMDs in Memphis area and will email you if you don't mind. Thanks!...
I believe there is mold under my built-in spa tub and under the house. A professional is scheduled to come in a couple of week to look for and remove and mold. I have mold in my unattached garage (I...
Good for you for taking control of your medical issues! I, too, have what was termed "calcifications" in my lung. I wasn't allowed to see the x-ray....
Shann123 - have you seen a pulmonologist? Take a sample!...
Hi itsmeadam. One thing I've had to remember is that the "down" times will not last forever. They are not permanent. I usually get some good movies and books and just go through it, remembering that...
Hi Tommy. I am fairly new to the site as well. I will be interested to hear your test results, and I'm glad you found a physician who will work with you on getting the right tests. I am still in the...
Oh, my! I have all the symptoms you have except for the coughing up. I don't seem to cough or wheeze but have had terrible shortness of breath episodes. I have been exposed to mold in my home and my...
Wow, thanks. Great info to have especially since I am in the throes of testing with no confirmation of anything yet. I have had a high negative ELISA and tested IGM positive on WB at bands 39 and 41,...
Great - thanks ya'll! I have edited my profile so that if someone clicks on my name I should get an email. Non-techy person here..... Thanks again....
Thank you, countryair. When I signed up with HealingWell, in my Profile, I indicated that I wanted my email address shown in my posts. However, I've never seen it and I did sign up for an...
Yes, but according the the forum policy we cannot post personal info. Tell me what your symptoms are. My allergist finally agreed to send blood work to be tested for systemic mold yesterday - yay!....
I haven't figured out how to "private message" anyone or receive messages from anyone and cannot find it in the topics at top. Anyone?...
