Like most of you I have been sick and suffering for years. I have only been on treatment for 3 weeks. My list of symptoms is more than 75 {stopped counting once I hit 75 lol} so to see an improvement in 1 is encouraging. Have to start somewhere right?? I am on 4 meds plus a multi vitamin, a probiotic, milk thistle and Nystatin {tablets, not powder}. I posted a couple weeks ago about the extreme amount of unexplained weight I have put on in the 4 years of being sick. Well.... the last 2 days I have noticed that my stomach is not as swollen/big! Before I got sick my stomach was flat. Over the last 4 years it has gotten to the point where I look 9 months pregnant. Yup, stopped being able to see my toes if I looked straight down. BUT the last 2 days.... it has went down! I can see my toes again!! It is still swollen/big but now it's more like a 5 month pregnant belly. I am not sure what is making it "deflate" or even if it will continue to go down but what I am sure about is.... just like Lyme, the change is not something I am imagining. At least I hope I'm not! LOL!!

Something I always keep in mind is what my LLND said: if you see/feel any improvements, however slight, it's a good sign for things to come so stay the course!

Yay!!! turn Congrats on your improvements!! It is likely from treating yeast, although Lyme and Bart can also have a huge impact on the digestive tract. My digestive tract was seriously compromised as well.

Keep up the good work! I tell people to celebrate every little improvement!! It shows you are on the right track!!

That's great! It is always wonderful when we experience an improvement in any of our symptoms. I share in your joy and wish you the best.

Traveler ~ Thank you for the insight that it might be treating the yeast which is helping my stomach deflate!!!
