Thanks, I will definitely look at the resources. The nurse looked at me like I had two heads when I told her about my ear. I'm used to it after going through so much with the bacterial infection. I...
I am new to this forum. Not sure how my anxiety started, but it was one of the first symptoms I noticed when I was eventually diagnosed with a co infection of Lyme called anaplasmosis. The people on...
I was on the Lyme forum for some time about a year ago. Through lots of support there I pushed for testing of co infections with Lyme and was finally diagnosed with anaplasmosis, one of the bacteria...
Thanks everybody. I guess I'm not technically giving up. Yes, giving up traditional docs and moving more toward treatments similar to you all. I was moved by HeathersDad how he and his wife have...
Thanks for this HeathersDad. You've encouraged me to not give up on myself for the sake of my athletically talented daughter who had a bullseye rash last summer. She has exhibited no symptoms yet,...
I am throwing in the towel. Sick of docs and meds and being sick. The panic attacks have calmed down, but I'm not sleeping again. I'm off all traditional meds for sleep and anxiety and I think that's...
i developed a cold last Thurs night. By Fri I had a low grade fever and I can't seem to shake it. It's Monday and I would normally have been over it. I can't go 4 hours without having to take...
Very nice. Makes me want to write a letter to my Governor!...
Mtlassor, my panic attacks happen mostly while driving too. I thought it could be motion triggering it, but I've also had them while sleeping, talk about freaking out. I've never mentioned my sense...
willing to travel out of state....I prefer a medical doc, as I do a lot on my own naturally. Please email me. My email address is viewable. Thanks!!...
Timid is exactly the word I should have described her as. I feel more confident now about my reluctance and will search for a ll doc like yours. I've heard I may end up in NY or NJ, but if that's...
Thanks Speyfisher, Lol, I have fought every single doc over antidepressants since my symptoms started over a year ago. I finally agreed to see a psychiatrist who agreed with me that I don't tolerate...
Bluebyou - Yes, been dry brushing and epsom salt/clay baths, coconut oil swishing. Took all the supplements LLND recommended for liver support, probiotics, etc. One thing I find weird is she had me...
Ended my prescription of rifampin and doxy Jan 3 and by the 7th I started getting headaches, insomnia and panic attacks. It's different this time though. The pain is more concentrated around my eyes....
Mine has gone away, but I'm still taking abx. In addition to being treated by my LLND For anaplasmosis I also have a psychiatrist treating my anxiety. With my intense sensitivity to meds he is the...
These helped my extreme nausea that started after 5 weeks of doxy and 1 week of rifampin: digestive enzymes, nux vomica and ginger tea. I'm told I may be experiencing "dying off" because I'm tired...
I'm taking doxy and rifampin in the am and pm, along with tons of supplements and probiotics. Having a terrible time with nausea...any advice would be appreciated. Now just venting.... Feeling really...
It's weird how there isn't much out there about it. Cheetahjade, are your symptoms similar to mine?...
My LLND went over my igenex labs with me today. I had the co infection panel which resulted with negative for all except HGA, which was 40. She said the infection is acute, meaning recent. So I'm...
I was going to make a new post, but when I saw yours I wanted to encourage you to find an LLND or LLMD, whichever works for you. I see my LLND tomorrow about my lab results from Igenex. We spoke...
I can relate totally. I'm an accountant and the number swapping just started this week. My fingers on the adding machine and keyboard number pad are doing exactly opposite of what I intend. Triple...
I thought my chest pain was from anxiety. The anxiety meds don't really help it, so after reading your post, I'm realizing it could be babesia too, which still isn't confirmed because the lab screwed...
I remember my LLND said it was ok to take it after the blood work, but completely forgot, so you just reminded me. I noticed in your signature that you experience dyslexia. Did it go away? Mine is...
I'm trying to rely to Maui...my technical ability today is challenging me :-) I have 2 weeks of doxy left that my non believing doc prescribed (because I made him) and I took for one week and stopped...
Ugh, I just wrote a reply and it disappeared. First sign is goosebumps, then sweating, rapid breathing, full body tremors. The panic depends what I'm doing. While driving it feels like I'm frozen...
i just found out yesterday igenex delayed starting my labs because of a billing issue. Which is odd since I gave them carte Blanche on my credit card. In the meantime my vision is getting worse and...
Hudgens you described exactly how I was feeling. I am thankful for the breathing I've been doing over the last year as a stress reliever because that and about half hour of time got me thru the other...
I've only seen a panic attack once when I was at the store where the paramedics had to take this poor woman away. I worked with the rescue personnel who dealt with her and they told me what happened...
Whew, thanks for that, I will definitely, but I have an idea it may be too potent. I'm so sensitive to meds of any kind....
This week I started using cannibis (sp?) oil in place of lorazepam for the horrible insomnia and anxiety I'm experiencing. I take it about an hour before I go to bed and I sleep like a baby. I also...
I have my first LLD adapt tomorrow with a naturopathic doc. I received the igenex kit yesterday and I'm nervous she is going to say, yep you have severe anxiety and depression, send me away with a...
IHL, I am new to all this and only beginning to have symptoms that affect my life. I am losing my eyesight and may not be able to drive. I have never been very social, so I don't get invited anywhere...
Thanks all for sharing. My vision distortion is constant. But I drive a lot and I read a lot of tiny numbers on paper and the computer all the time in my job. There should be a rule against using...
Dragonfly....I saw your post after I posted and was going to post on your post and saw you posted on mine. If that sentence doesn't mess with your vision....anyway, I wanted to tell you I've been to...
Thanks for sharing. I understand what you're experiencing. Especially waking up each day thinking something's gonna blow. Tonight my chest hurts right in the middle where my heart is, like a...
The symptom that brought my attention to the fact that I may have lyme disease was my vision--otherwise I would have believed the doctors that I was depressed and anxious. At first I thought it was a...
Thanks Margaret, yes I would love to know about more videos. I watched Under Our Skin yesterday and cried through the whole thing. It was the loving support of the husbands that got me. When my...
Wow, Justinj, I made the same call today. I just posted elsewhere here about starting on doxy (yesterday) for three weeks then going off for two for the test (they told me two weeks). Anyway, I have...
It looks like the search I did awhile back gave me a doc right in the town I live in. In fact, I was a patient many years ago with the same doc for thyroid issues I was having. Yes will probably be a...
Thanks for so much encouragement and advice so quickly. I have forwarded the YouTube site to my husband. I hope he learns more and some day understands because I need his support badly. I'm not sure...
My husband spent 10 minutes researching lyme and he is convinced I have self diagnosed myself due to reading so much on the internet. I'm ready to run away from my life because I believe I have this...
