Canyon, I do have root canals, but it's so hard to tell sometimes what is causing pain. I believe mine was Lyme related because I've had several weird symptoms come and go (thank goodness they go and...
I've recently been really looking into the natural health benefits of honey and honey combined with cinnamon, and who knows if it could help with combating Lyme Disease?? Just be aware that all honey...
Thank you for the suggestions, Don! To recap on my Lyme journey -- I did 9 months of antibiotics, along with herbals, but felt I still had a long way to go. Then did several months of various herbals...
Thank you Deejavu and Traveler! I do have allergies, so maybe allergies/pollen is the problem. Thanks for letting me know that you don't think it's Lyme related too -- too many weird symptoms over...
I've posted quite a bit over the years -- you can click on my name to see some of my old posts. This is something new going on and just wondering if anyone else has something similar related to Lyme....
I haven't posted in a while because I have been doing so much better for a while now (yay me!), but lately I've been having some jaw and ear pain and wondering if this could be the Lyme acting up...
Just wanted to chime in that I also had lots of blood sugar issues related to LD. Sometimes it would happen multiple times a day and I would feel just plain sick when it would happen....
Great, glad you found the Iowa doctor! I would hate to tell anyone what to do regarding their health, but I doubt very much they will do much for you at Gundersen. I have no idea what difference it...
I sent you an email last evening....
I haven't been on the forum much at all lately, so not sure if Dr. Jernigan's at-home protocol has come up or if you're aware of that. He has a specific Neuro-Antitox (detoxing formula) geared toward...
Yes, the tip of my tongue was numb for about 6 years. Now it comes and goes....
Yes I have! Mine felt like muscle twitches, like when your eyelid twitches. Other times it was a definite weird vibration feeling. I'm assuming it's a symptom of LD and I've seen it discussed here...
Just for the heck of it I peeked in on this site today...I used to be a regular and then after I got better I would pop in from time to time to let people know what was helping me; but at that time...
Yep, the tip of my tongue has been numb to varying degrees for almost 7 years now....
I also had an elevated ANA at the beginning of my symptoms and due to family history of Lupus, was sent to a rheumatologist. He told me that I did not have Lupus, but in getting a copy of my records...
Deejavu, I still check in once in a while too...still feeling GREAT after completing Dr. J's protocol!!!!! Quick recap of my 2 1/2 year treatment which started after 4 years of no diagnosis:...
Yazzer, I have had crazy dizzy/vertigo spells like that when all of this initially came on, long before I was diagnosed and started treatment. I still remember vividly the feeling of not being able...
That is the million dollar question! Unfortunately, no one has the answer to that. We are not sure if people who have gone many years symptom free are "cured" or if they are in "remission." From what...
I may have missed something here, but I had never heard of the "Mayo Clinic Western blot" before reading your post. Did the doctor you just saw refer to it by that name? I went to multiple Mayo...
Yup, same doctor run-around here, for 4 long years. The first referral I had was to a rheumatologist. I had a 1.5 month wait and while waiting began to panic as symptoms mounted. Once while feeling...
I am allergic to mold as well and we did have a problem with mold behind our tub surround. We carefully pulled the tub surround sections out (my husband is good at this kind of stuff) and replaced...
Also wanted to say...although I have no problems with any foods, a lot of people here on HW that have LD also have gluten intolerance. I have a relative with this condition (no Lyme) and it is...
4lanz, Sorry I just now checked on here and saw your question. You really need to read the book for what, why and how to take the drops. From what I understand, you can now download an e-book version...
4lanz, I also did Dr. Jernigan's at-home protocol. Actually, I am still doing follow-up to use up the rest of the bottles of drops - I'm in month 10. I spent about $700 total, including the book. I...
So glad to hear you're feeling better - great advice!...
The speeach thing happened to me too...I'm now a firm believer in detoxing. I thought it was a waste of money at one point and quit doing it. I learned very quickly just how much it helps and will...
I took it with Doxy for 9 months per my doctor's instructions. I'd like to think it helped!...
I have tried GSE in combination with other things, but did the tablet form rather than the drops (because of the taste issue). After 9 months of antibiotics I did only GSE and teasel root for several...
Thank you, this will be interesting! I have done the Hansa Center's (Dr. Jernigan's) at-home protocol after doing antibiotics and other alternative treatments and feel great at this point. I hope...
I had just posted recently about the book Cure Unknown by Pamela Weintraub - excellent book. Although this is not necessarily a book about treatment, but rather about understanding what is going on....
Yes, spite posts are childish and unfortunately they do happen...there is a reason I added the comment to this particular thread because of a similarity and I'm not referring to doctors or a good...
Yes, yes, yes - agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying!...
Unfortunately, that is something that probably most of us here have tossed around from time to time. There is no one cure for Lyme Disease at this point, so what works for one may not work for...
Please be wary of "spite posts" regarding another thread that was started recently...I could be wrong, but this does happen on anonymous discussion forums....
Just throwing something out there that I haven't seen discussed lately. It may have been and I just missed it too, as I don't read every post anymore. When first diagnosed, the book "Cure Unknown" by...
Congratulations Borderlyme!...
Thank you, Cheezhead. Glad to hear you keep getting better as well!...
letgo, You haven't upset me nor am I upset about anything now. I did read the other post from Sicktoolong and I commented on that thread. People get upset on here all the time about something someone...
Here is a copy of my post in the thread that was locked yesterday: I have to chime in that a POSITIVE ATTITUDE is a huge factor in getting BETTER. I have told my story many times and so I'm not going...
I agree with ALL of this 100%. I have told my story here many times over the past 2+ years and have been to the very bottom myself. I also used to post here a lot more, but just haven't been on as...
I have to chime in that a POSITIVE ATTITUDE is a huge factor in getting BETTER. I have told my story many times and so I'm not going to tell it again here, but I am so much better -- I feel normal...
You're welcome, Traveler, and thank YOU for all of your help and support :)...
Some went away, some did not. I always had some before the Lyme symptoms came on, but I was covered in them for a while on my chest and arms and they were really popping up at an alarming rate!...
Thanks everyone for the kind words. All of you that went to the Hansa Center and posted your stories, and Deejavu with your sharing your experience with the at-home protocol inspired me to try it!...
When my symptoms initially came on I had tons of them on me. That symptom didn't continue for very long, but it was weird. Looking back I assume it was part of my Lyme, but I wasn't diagnosed for...
Thank you, Gary! I agree, I have found that HW is the most supportive and open, and has been by far the most help I've received in this journey. To be honest, it's the only support I've received. I...
Gary, Thanks for all the great information! Would you be interested in sharing which FB sites are the best in your opinion? I've checked into them, but found some to be "cult-like" in their opinions...
Carrie, I'm not sure what to believe as far as fillings and root canals. I, unfortunately, have bad teeth in my genetics, and have at least one filling in every tooth and about 5 root canals. I never...
Gary, Must be the alcohol based one's - it says 20% Ethanol (pharmaceutical grade). I didn't know there was a choice?? As an aside, I had started taking apple cidar vinegar each day prior to starting...
I am also doing Jerigan's at-home protocol and feel back to normal, although I continue to do it after finishing up the basic 6 month protocol. I don't post very much any more because I am doing...
