mrsbugzy: Thank you for your reply. The only major digestive issue that I have is that I am very lactose intolerant. Since dairy is a good source of iodine, that's one reason I don't get enough. I...
I eat eggs, but not in a quantity sufficient to give me my daily iodine requirements. I don't eat bread, and I'm not sure that it's fortified with iodine anymore. Ironically, part of the reason I...
Thank you for the information. I will look through it tomorrow. My doctor did test me for an autoimmune disease, but I don't recall him mentioning which one. I don't know if there is more than one. I...
After posting this topic, it occurred to me to check my iodine consumption. I don't use table salt, and I rarely eat fish. My current multi-vitamin does not contain any iodine. Neither do any of my...
This might be a strange question. I have a rather advanced case of Lyme disease which may be causing these problems, but I thought I'd check with people who are familiar with thyroid problems. I have...
I took a comprehensive adrenal test less than 2 months ago, and they were fine. None of the adrenal supplements I've taken have ever done any good. I'm overdue for a thyroid test. The last test I...
Have you discussed this with your doctor? This sounds dangerous. The safe upper limit for magnesium supplementation is supposed to be 350mg. You can tolerate a lot more magnesium than that from...
borderlyme - You can probably sense my frustration. I feel better, and yet I can't do anything physically active. I've been looking into the fatigue, but since I don't know what specifically is...
At this point, I can't even exercise for five minutes. I can't do much less than that. On a bad day, I can't even tolerate a walk. I can't predict how I'm going to feel either. It just hits me out of...
I have been having a major problem since a year ago. I have become completely intolerant to exercise. I feel fine while I'm doing the exercise, but when I stop, I feel very sick. The sickness can...
Curcumin is supposed to kill the infection too, but I was able to tolerate it enough to try it more than a few weeks. I've heard of Samento, but I'm not sure how effective it is. My reactions are...
Ha! Ha! Yeah, some sort of warning would have been nice! Even with the prescription medications I've taken, I've had side effects that aren't listed in the warnings that the pharmacy provides. I've...
My doctor is aware of what I'm taking because he's the one who prescribed the herbal medications to me. I looked up any possible side effects of the herbals before I took them, but every document I...
I just found out that one of my other herbal supplements that I'm still on may also be causing problems with my blood sugar. I mention this so that other people are aware that this can be a problem....
I have some of those gel packs for running. I'm going to keep them handy when I start exercising again. I was curious about OJ because people mention it specifically instead of just saying to drink...
I do my cardio (running) outside if the weather permits. Otherwise, I run at the gym. I do my strength training at the gym. I always keep my cell phone with me because I use it to track my workouts....
You may be right. I'm probably over thinking it. I'm just nervous because of feeling like I was going to faint with no one around. I ended up having to lie on the floor a few times, and that really...
Thank you so much for your help. I am not feeling sick during the normal course of my day. However, I haven't tried skipping a meal (I rarely do), and I haven't tried exercising. Do you know if...
Unfortunately, the herbal product didn't alert me that hypoglycemia was a possible side effect. It said to expect to feel worse before I felt better, so I dismissed the warning signs as part of my...
Hello Everyone, I'm new to this part of the forums. I have a question about testing for hypoglycemia. I had a problem with hypoglycemia that I believe was caused by an herbal medication I was told to...
Has anyone had experience with the sublingual form of glutathione? I'm looking into glutathione for relief of my symptoms, but there is a lot of conflicting information about which delivery forms...
I'm a runner, and I don't have that problem, but I did have a ringworm infection for a while. (Ringworm is a fungus, not an actual worm.) I think that poor blood flow and a weakened immune system are...
allieann: My story is somewhat similar. I started riding a stationary bike, and found to my surprise that it made me feel better. I think that part of it is the increased circulation, which helps...
I'm a runner too, and running definitely makes me feel better. Running can also make me feel sicker if I do it the wrong way. It's complicated, and it takes a little bit of guess work. Sweating may...
I live in Virginia, and Lyme is spreading like wildfire around here. We've been having longer warm periods, which means that the tick season is extended. This is a huge step in the right direction....
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm sorry for not posting back sooner, but it's been a rough week. I'm trying everything I can to make sure this isn't a really bad relapse. Miss Cranberry: Sorry...
Hi all. I haven't been here for a while. I've been up and down. I've been looking into infrared saunas, but I don't know anything about brands. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking for a...
The ability of Lyme to hide from antibiotics is exactly why I am on a pulsing schedule. The "off" weeks lull the bacteria out of hiding. Then I hit it with high doses of abx. It seems to have helped...
Are you sure it's a UTI? Babesia can cause UTI-like symptoms, including burning urination, bladder pain, urgency, and dark urine. This was happening to me for a while, but every time I was tested for...
I've taken both Zithromax and Flagyl. Flagyl was probably the most nauseating drug of all of the ones I took, but everyone is different. It did cause me to herx, so it seemed to be doing some good,...
I didn't have anything that looked like bruises. In fact, I don't bruise easily at all. The veins were very noticeable because usually my veins are hard to see. I even have problems getting blood...
No, sorry, I haven't had this particular symptom. The only thing even remotely close that I've had is that my veins turn extremely blue - like see them from space blue. I think it was back when my...
I am probably being overly cautious about it, but I just started taking this. I could really use the benefits of it, and I don't want to do anything to negate the effects. I'm on the smallest dose...
I'm sorry that you are going through all of this. I wish I could be of more help. My symptoms have been more of the neurological kind than the pain related kind. If you are on Mepron and Zithromax,...
It's possible that your symptoms are from Lyme, but they could also be from other illnesses, including co-infections that go along with Lyme. You would need an evaluation from an LLMD to be sure....
I have a lot of problems with brain fog and memory too. It's so bad that I had to drop out of school. It's a dual problem because the Lyme infection directly effects our brains, but so do symptoms...
I don't take iron or calcium pills per se, but my daily multi-vitamin and vitamin C (buffered) have iron and calcium in them. I've shifted those to the evening. I also shifted my supplements with...
Thanks for the suggestions. For some reason, the last few times I've had waffles, they've made me sick. I looked at turkey bacon, but it seemed like I'd have to eat quite a bit of it to get the...
Is there any particular reason that you are nervous? As far as I can remember, there wasn't anything in this formula that would be likely to cause a problem, unless you are allergic to one of the...
I just added Synthroid for my hypothyroidism. I am already on Cytomel. I am having trouble finding something to eat for breakfast that won't conflict with the Synthroid. I'm trying to avoid iron,...
I don't have clotting problems, but I take Boluoke for circulation. It is supposed to reduce fibrin without effecting clotting. You might try looking into it....
I can't recall what time of day I took it. It might have been in the afternoon. It was definitely on an empty stomach, like the instructions say. The cramping didn't happen right away. It took a few...
I tried it, but I didn't take it long enough to tell if it was doing me any good. It caused me to have abdominal cramping. I take Transfer Factor Multi-Immune and Prescript-Assist Pro from Researched...
I have many different kinds of headaches with Lyme/babesia/bartonella. Most frequently with Lyme, I get sinus headaches. The pressure from my sinuses sends pain everywhere - to my jaw, to my eyes, to...
I found several local chapters of the Red Cross who say that if you have chronic Lyme disease, you cannot donate blood. Of course, we can all appreciate the high irony here since many in the medical...
Anyone who has ever had babesiosis is banned for life from giving blood. I thought that anyone who had Lyme was also banned for life, but now I can't find it....
I can't comment on anything legal, but something seems strange here. First of all, I've seen several cases of this in California. Is the California medical board going on a witch hunt? I'm also not...
When I had food poisoning, my doctor recommended Gatorade G4, which is their low calorie (low sugar) version. You could probably use the calories, but if you can't tolerate the sugar, that might be...
Confused, Welcome to the forum. Some of your symptoms suggest a thyroid problem, possibly hyperthyroidism. It would explain your hair loss, weight loss, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, etc. Have you had...
IIRC, some Tylenol products were being recalled because they were contaminated with something that made them smell and cause people to be nauseated. I don't think it was anything too serious, but the...
