Hey everyone, its been awhile... I saw this post. Same thing happened to me with Mepron. Any updates are appreciated. No insurance coverage, $1400 for the month I was quoted. chief...
Low Dose Naltrexone. It is an immune system booster....
Nice thread topic. I'll give it a shot.... Everyday I wake up hoping my pain is gone. So that I can look back at my time with Lyme Disease and simply describe it as a nightmare. A nightmare is..... a...
"Hello, Welcome to the world of Lyme. I hope you have a short visit." Nice quote... and a "short visit" in the world of Lyme should be defined as time spent that is less than 1 year. Chief...
Hey everyone, I'm really happy to see we have a big thread on "head pain". pcpc - anyone more info you have on Nux Vomica would be great. hoping - I've done doxy - 8 weeks, mino - 16 weeks, biaxin -...
Head Pain is my number 1 symptom. I've been asking these questions on this board for a year now. I've essentially had a headache for 1.5 years (since I was infected with Lyme). At the onset (I went...
Ticker, My rash was a one time event before headaches and all the other symptoms I've had. It was splotchy red and white and located on my hands. It lasted 3 days. It did not itch or hurt, therefore...
Huh, thanks for the responses. The only hallmark symptom that fits for me is " I only had the basic lyme test thru Igenex. I had always attributed the headaches to my #1 lyme symptom. And there is...
OK.... so my latest burst of inspiration (inspiration to get better is my only inspiration).. is to go after candida overgrowth, which I'm pretty sure I have. So.. I ordered some ThreeLac to go along...
1. Is the Igenex coinfection test for babs the best way to determine if you have babs? If not, what is the best test? 2. What are the specific symptoms for babs? (or most common) Thanks, Chief...
I'm pursuing yeast overgrowth with my lyme right now. 6 weeks on biaxin. Then 6 weeks on ThreeLac/Diflucan. I'm hoping this will take me over the top. Chief...
I had a brain MRI and nothing showed up. "All clear" said the doctors. Yet I know my lyme is in my head/brain. I'm not saying don't get the MRI (to rule out tumors in your own mind, or whatever),...
Elastic band snapping in the back of my head. Haven't heard that one yet, but it sure helps describe my pain.. Thanks, Chief...
This is one of my major symptoms (daily). Is it Lyme, is it babesia, is it candida yeast infection? Or is it all 3? It is a beast to say the least.. Chief...
Thanks for your responses... Keep them coming... Chief...
Hey everyone, I hope you all are healing well today. So... I got a rash in the fall of '07 (I *think* i got bit on a camping trip earlier that fall). I had a severe onset of symptoms in Jan. '08. Six...
I eat sugar free frozen yogurt about 3 times a week. Its my only dessert. Not regular yogurt though. I take diflucan for the candida yeast. Chief...
Thanks for the reminder. I know I was bitching and complaining on another thread about this... but, unfortunately, the 91 people that have swine flu in the US (1 hospitalized) might be enough to over...
There are now 91 cases in the US of the swine. Yet, there are how many thousand new Lyme cases every year? And yet, what is the top health story on every news/radio channel, newspaper. Some strand of...
I wonder if "Lyme" got the publicity that "swine" is getting, if there would be an increase in 32 cases overnight... Considering I've had it now for over a year now and I'm not sure I'm a...
Anyone else sick of hearing about this? Sorry, I just have no sympathy for the 20 people that have it here in the US and only 1 has gone to the hospital. Chief p.s. sorry again for this, just reading...
Either Big Sur California or Baja Mexico (mainland, not coastal). I went on 2 different camping trips within a month of each other. Had a rash sometime thereafter, then my major symptoms started 3-6...
Gracie, 1) Triggers - I think there are many triggers to the head pain symptom. For me, mold exposure, sunlight and bright lights, sugar and certain foods. Thankfully, I've become sensitive to my...
Head and neck pain are my # 1 symptom. I had the swooshing and head pressure at an extreme level for about a month, which was about 3-6 months after I think I got bit. Now I'm undergoing treatment...
FMS, As some others have stated on this thread, be careful not to hope/rely on blood tests (or any tests for that matter) to prove you have lyme. Many people diagnose themselves and/or are diagnosed...
To answer the question in the thread title.... Yes. In my opinion.. Chief...
Agree with the rest of the replies to this thread. Yes, symptom of lyme. Most likely, TMJ surgery won't cure lyme disease (wink). Chief...
Wow. Thanks for the info... So much too this, we need more doctors who are studying this stuff with today's technology. Chief...
I've asked this question on this board a number of times. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a conclusion on how to cross the bbb and get to the bacteria. What a breakthrough some...
We need more on this................
By the way, great post. I hope we get lots of responses to this... Chief...
Date Diagnosed: June 2008 How long had you had Lyme: 9 months estimated Treatment protocol to date: Doxy 200 mg 2x/day - June 08 to Aug 08 Minocycline ?dosage Aug 08 - Dec 08 Raw Food Diet - 1 week...
Not sure if its a certain co-infection. But this is my # 1 symptom. Head and back of head pain with neck stiffness. That's where the bacteria is and its horrible. We will get rid of it though. We...
exercise is very key. The more I run and surf, the better I feel.... pushups help to.... Chief...
Anyone have the info on the support group meeting in San Diego this morning? I know its at 9:30am but I'm looking for the location.. I have it at my email address at work and I don't feel like...
Thanks for the responses! And thanks kitty for the tip on Benica. I did 16 weeks of mino last fall but now I'm in a cycle of biaxin. I guess I'll go back to mino in the near future. I am getting...
Still no real answers on this one.... how do we get the bacteria out of the head? Chief...
I'll ask it again... anyone have opinions on the best treatment protocol for penetrating the blood brain barrier? What drug, vegetable or needle can get in there and kill the bacteria? Chief...
Yeah this happened to me too.....
I'm in this boat with you guys as well. I don't necessarily describe it as "brain fog". My description is "head and neck pain". So........... the big question, what is the best treatment protocol for...
Jennie48, Being that I am a ice cream lover like yourself... here is what I have been eating since lyme. Its real good too. Sugar Free frozen yogurt. Just once or twice a week for that fix. Chief...
I had Cranial Sacral for awhile. If you can afford it then sure, I think its worth a shot from a pain management perspective. I don't believe that it will "cure lyme". Or cure your head and neck...
He is weak in my opinion. I believe our bodies can rid themselves of this bacteria. Do everything it takes to get yourself better and don't ever give up. Chief...
Then again, its all about how one describes their pain. Head and neck pressure, headaches, stiff neck, etc... Chief...
This is my #1 symptom. Chief...
huh. Ok, thanks for the responses. Its just so hard for me to separate between lyme and candida. I feel like lyme is my major problem and candida is just a teeny piece of it. You guys hang in there...
hello gamwce, I am sorry to hear that you are so sick. My advice is to continue to pursue lyme with everything you've got. I know nothing about Graves, but I know lyme will mess you up. You have to...
I'm in a similar situation as you guys. A doctor before I was dx with lyme showed I had raised levels of candida. I continued to pursue lyme, got dx, then began treating it. Now my LLMD has me...
Hey kitty, I recently completed 100mg per day for 16 weeks. I did it because my number 1 symptom is head and neck pain. Now I'm off doing a diflucan/biaxin alternate months plan. But I will go back...
7 weeks of doxy.. then I got horrible heartburn. Switched to minocycline. chief...
