I tested positive for mycoplasmas. Fermentans and hominis. I have implants (saline) leak and now out but by JULY 2011, had many symptoms of all offenders weak and sick and joints inflammed stop working out, no cognitive started stuttering can't understand paragraphs so dropped classes, rapid thoughts and,,,,,,,,,convalescing for the first time in my life sick and trying to understand normal daily tasks, like sorting mail, making appt for docs, is so so hard on my brain. Trying to clean and I'm a clean freak but now it's like how do I make sense of what I do first?

I can type and communicate way better, talking "live" and I'm an extrovert and listening to info verbally or reading it, FAH-GET-AH-BOW-DIT....Okay?!

I have a coated tongue and thought maybe it was all Yeast?

Starting Oct 2010,coated tongue and stickey ears with first onset of tinnitis and broken sleep and seized crunchy occipital bone which I still have though it's not seized neck but crunchy popping sound was fevered feeling. My neck occipital along my skull ridge was fevered feeling and I had to lift my neck off pillow with head. So Oct 2010 was my signal something was wrong. I didn't get what though.

Oct 2010, my breast leak was official and came down all the way and I got these symptoms going is this correlated?

Then 21 MONTHS LATER in July 2012, all heck broke loose with the strong symptoms I wrote about in first paragraph which took me out of life over an quick 8 week maturing period. Explant Oct 2012.

21 months it took to get the rest of the symptoms. I haven't slept for ages since the insomnia broken sleep came in Oct 2010 as said above.

I'm sick from mycos I did test. The 200 per day doxy was low which I started Feb 2, I herxed neuro bad, felt all my head brain eye symptoms strenthen plus I forgot I have strong body vibrations like bacteria traveling through my blood. I can feel it and I would twitch and shake sometime.

Well, twice I have gone to 400 mg, I'm seeing a lyme doc next week to test.

The times I go to 400 mg for two day, my thoughts slowed down a bit, not normal but slower. And I STOP feeling body vibrations, and bugs traveling in my veins. At 400mg. If I go back to 200, my body vibes come back, and my thoughts go faster.

So I go, I must be going in the right direction.

Through it all I FEEL like there is goop, like glue or a thick oil, in my brain, my ears are stickey feeling deep inside and sound stickey when I move the inner ear muscle. My eyes and started to go more swollen around eyes, and more grainey and blurry.

My tongue more coated with higher doxy over 48 hours. Is it all yeast?

It's now new, it's been like this forever, but upping my doxy it is now worse.

How do I know, my stuff isn't mostly yeast. (wishful thinking.)

I keep praying IT'S ALL YEAST AS I DON'T READ about GOOP IN HEAD stuffed physical coated in all head orifices feeling from others.

I literally wish I could take my head apart and clean out what feels and has felt like an oil slick I can't get at.

Tried Diflucan nothing. And it did get worse. I take lots of garlic like 10 sliced cloves a day.

Would I or not lose the ability to think and remember and have rapid thoughts with JUST yeast? And when I started the 200 mg of abx I got worse and saw smoke visually and got sicker feeling for a couple of weeks if it was all yeast right?

More wishful thinking.

I am just, my head just feels full of goop. And now as of 48 hours, more goop since I upped my doxy to 400 mg.

The only positive, the upper doses, slower thoughts, and NO body vibrations or bacteria in blood travelling feeling. It slows it right down and I don't quiver. A little mentally clear but such blurry vision with grainey feel i swollen eyes which has been getting stronger.

This sucks. I am in so much HEAD physical discomfort.

Yeast? Bugs? Thoughts? Can yeast be this strong?

I used to be so pretty and in great awesome shape. I am olive complected and never break out. Tonight bath, strange outbreak on nose, bumps, forehead. Tatal gasey stomach rumbling and being constipated since the first symptoms Oct 2010, to just now getting a strange bowel explosion by itself only from 48 hours. I take L-glutathione.

I am severely constipated so enema but now with more doxy totally gassy more and rumbling is daily but more and strange bowel explosions. I feel like ALIEN. It's all just disgusting what this does. rolleyes

I'm sorry this post is long and this is so disgusting, I just, I wish there was and easy solution and not so much guess work. But I'll see my first LD next week.

Thoughts? Does yeast do this to people. I'm so so wishful thinking.....anyone with goop in their head feel. And I urinate at night ever single 15 at 30 min. Good lord.

It's like something is making it so so hard to think and see clearly through this goop I feel.

Wow! It's very difficult for me to read long things, so please forgive me if I dont' address everything.

I have to chuckle about the clean freak and rapid thoughts. I have both of those. I stutter too at times. Never used to, but I do now. I can't keep up with my thoughts. It's very overwhelming. I suggest an anti anxiety medication. I am going to start mine today, so I'll let you know how it goes if I remember LOL. I'm also a clean freak. But I'm not well enough to be and my husband is definitely not, so I tend to let things like laundry pile up, dishes my husband or I have left around and it ticks (LOL sorry couldn't resist) me off and I freak out and go on a cleaning spree. Then I suffer big time. I tend to clean a lot the more stressed and anxious I get too.

I had my 1st LLMD appointment the other day and I was also dx with a Candida overgrowth (yeast). He is starting me on 100 mg of doxicycline 2 x per day. My tongue is also coated and I have suspected a yeast overgrowth for some time now. I have had to change my diet though. Have you? NO sugar, NO processed foods, NO dairy except for a plain yogurt, NO starches, not even veggie ones, lots of protein and fat. I just bought some cocount oil that is supposed to be great for candida overgrowth.

BTW--I also am so much better at typing vs talking "live". I have time to think and go back and edit. It's great. I have a real problem with concentrating, so I understand what you're saying and I'm sure everyone else here will too. This is a FANTASTIC community that I have only been a part of for a short while, but I intend on staying a long time if everyone will continue to have me. I am proud to call people here my friends. People who TRULY understand what I'm going through.

It sounds like you're seeing an LLMD next week, so that's great! I also understand yeast is a very powerful thing like Lyme and can cause very similiar symptoms. Unfortunately, I have both and most likely several coinfections as well.

Whatever it is, be open minded (I'm trying to myself) and do what the LLMD tells you. You should restrict your diet now. Start ahead of time.

Big hugs and I hope you get to feeling better soon. I haven't started my 100 mg 2 times per day of doxi yet, but I plan on it tomorrow. I'm scared. Real scared LOL..because we're going to get agressive soon. But I am willing to try because I can't keep up like this. I am truly at the end of my rope.

BTW--if you're not sleeping, I take an over the counter antihistime and it helps me to sleep. My LLMD said it was fine!

I'm so sorry to hear of all you're going through! Sometimes the worst part is not knowing what's causing what (and in turn, what to do about it!).

You said you were diagnosed with certain things - have you also been diagnosed for Lyme, or is the doxy for the mycoplasma? Either way - are you taking probiotics? And if so, are you taking good enough probiotics?

I don't know much about candida, but it could easily be a culprit for a lot of what you're experiencing. There are also a lot of other things that can be going on in the gut to cause your symptoms...parasites and whatnot - not fun stuff! Maybe see if you can get comprehensive testing done for your digestive system, dependent on your budget?

Are you detoxing? Generally I find that even when I have no idea what's causing symptoms, I always feel a bit better when I detox.

Hi Sleepless, thanks for coming by. I appreciate it.

I think my rapid thoughts were misunderstood. It can be hard to explain where we are at.

I have rapid thoughts from "brain function". Not anxiety. I don't get anxiety. I know that's very difficult for many people and with lymes as well etc., but that is not where I am in this.

I guess more clearly, when I'm complaring to being a clean freak and not understanding it's from the standpoint I have very seriously, literally, been convalescing feeling sick, flu-like, weak,

with strong brain neurological impairment and huge visual distortion which means I actually have a hard time simply understanding what needs to be done. My brain is not working.

Not like being overwhelmed with anxiety and a normal brain function. I am confused due to thought process not functioning right and it's super super strong.

It's not like anything I've ever experienced make sense? Hard from that angle to do simple daily things as my brain doesn't understand, what needs to be done it's left me confused.

The structure to do in my mind and understand steps of simple tasks because of nuero impairment and being in bed a lot is why I am so concerned because I literally, can't understand how to plan with brain impairment.

To try to "think" through this fog and mental and physical thick feeling in my brain, is impossible. It's hard to even make an appointment, clean, mentally and physically get around.

I have been a hardcore fitness girl all my life so my diet is impeccable and food etc., or rather fuel and what to eat and what not is how I've lived being in fitness. It's second nature.

I do go for short walks and am so physical head symptomatic I can't wait to get inside. Not emotionally based, 100% nuero physical.

Good luck with your start on ABX. I really hope you see some improvement. You can relate though with the confusionand stuttering and talking too huh? That is a FIRST for me.

Okay, and you can't do as much either. Maybe I misunderstood you and you don't have anxiety either but want to try a med so slow your thoughts.

I had to drop my classes feeling weak, sick with total not able to read paragraphs in text for classes or understand the teacher. This is how bad it got.

I'm halfway through writing a book about what people aren't told about many pharmaceutials as I got injured/harmed from a "class" of drug once. I'm very well educated with anti anxiety and sleeping pills and their "mechanism of action"......

.....so that is not a consideration for me. ABX and anti histamines are the only drugs I will take kind of thing.

So I do take benadryl to try to help or gravol and it's just, nothing works. I wake and it's still broken or doesn't put me to sleep. It's too too strong. I cycle in and out for 3 to 4 hours, my brain can't sleep.

So with things this strong brain wise, and weak, flu like with lead in my body heavy, I wondered if yeast makes people this sick too, or if it's really a bug. I guess I'll find out. Good luck you. xoxox and Thanks again.

Hi Borderlyme.

Yes, you got the nail on the head. Not knowing what is going on and feeling this way is taking it's toll. I have never in my life being reduced to not able to look after myself. THIS is why I'm, what does this?

I stopped getting on my bike neuro altered, I'm just FORCING myself to go a short ways after I type this and I feel sick. But I actually, "forget" where I'm going and have to "rethink" what I was doing.

I can't run anymore since July due to knee joints. Another first.

I have gone to the sauna, sure it makes me feel cleaner, but it doesn't do anything at all for my physical head brain eye symptoms. And I just walk to the sauna so weak. Then sit in the whirlpool weak and then go home all the while feeling sick and rapid thoughts and confusion.

My eyes are getting more swollen and it feels like there is cotton stuffed in and around them and in my head. This is nuts.

Gosh well, no easy answers right? My budget is limited as I had to relocate to stay with my mother being sick for so long, but she is helping. ND's no LLMD's in Canada they were run out.

But I see one next week, hopefully she will know how and what to test. I'll bring the 'questions' list from here.

Gosh, thankyou you guys. I really just, need some answers I guess. It's hard being this nuero sec by sec altered you know?

xoxoxo cry

*oh yeah, last thing, I have NEVER EVER grinded my teeth. The physical movement feeling from my head and being in discomfort as a result of it, I grind on the left side. Again, it's not nerves, it's because the movement is so uncomfortable. Have you heard of that?

I've always found the neuro/brain symptoms to be the toughest to deal with - pain and fatigue and all of that you can sort of work your way around but you need your brain for everything! I can tell you that it does get easier with treatment - all of a sudden you start to think more clearly, sometimes out of nowhere.

Hopefully the doctor you're about to see is a good one and will be able to point you in the right direction. Make sure to bring a list of things you want to discuss with the doctor - especially if you're having trouble thinking. I always bring a list and check it twice these days!

Hi Borderline, thanks for coming by.

I can't for the life of me figure out why I can "focus" to make sense communicating with the computer. And on doxy, my fingers are more co ordinated on keyboard. But "live", holy no go.


Yeah these nuero brain is so weird. And there's such a physical element to it for me as well, with weight on brain feel, stuffed cotton or goop around eyes, on, behind eyes.

That's why I get confused going is this yeast? It's like what ever is in my head and eyes needs to come out. I want and need to unstuff it.

Yeah, you need your brain for everything. This is it.

Well, I sure can't wait till the thinking comes more clearly. I never would have thought this type of thing was possible you know?

Yes, I will bring a list. Definitely as you say check it twice.

And again you are right about, I met someone who said they had lyme but they didn't get taken out brain wise. They kept thinking I was isolating from depression, that's because they had the pain fatigue as a primary and would get "occasional" thought lapses.

I'm like some of us that are hit chronic altered brain "function". Yeast won't do this will it? I know, I sound like a broken record.

Boy, I'm glad these boards are here.

I sure hope the more I heal sleep comes back soon. Thankyou very much guys, kind of wondering where I am in this you know..........? xoxo

Yeast can do a lot of things - it's always hard to tell what's causing what.

In the meantime while you're waiting to see the doctor, have you gone through the "New to Lyme" thread? Maybe starting up the detox baths, drinking more lemon water, etc., might help your symptoms at least somewhat for the time being?

Hey Borderlyme, I do all of that, I have for months and months. I read a lot on mycos before I tested and started the epsom salt baths and peroxide and having an "extreme" fitness background lemon water and food intakes are second nature for me and have been for quite some time, years.

I wish these things were helping but due to the strength of my physical symptoms, they're not putting a dent in it.

I am going to the sauna first thing tommorrow right when I get up so hoping maybe, that will give me some relief.

Thanks so much for your kindness, a few of you (yeah you 2 Traveller) are a godsend for those of us new, sick and needing answers. I really appreciate the kindness and support.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Waverunner. xoxoxo *I really can't wait to daily function, I was a lean long muscled girl with a washboard stomach and I have NEVER felt this weak in my life. It's so so strange. Shakey like...................
