hey everyone. i rarely get online here anymore, but have come to a road block and would like some input. my body is slowly capable of doing more, it's just my brain that isn't seeming to get better...

Bicillin IM injections relieved joint pain for me....
As for me and the teen session: I had a good time! Met 9 other lymies and exchanged contact info. The lady that was in charge of the teen session was very nice and would bring up a subject, like...
I can only speak from my own personal experience. From 2002-2006 I started experiencing Lyme sypmtoms. Late 2006 I was diagnosed with Lyme and co-infections. I did the antibiotics for 4 months and...

I'm not sure what happens to me is the same as you. Right before I drift off to sleep my body will sometimes jerk/twitch all of a sudden. My whole body will jerk. And no warning. It just happens at...
thank you for the input, dorit. I'm beginning to think that the Valtrex may have freaked my body out and made it real easy for a stomach flu to take up residence in my body. I now have slight fever,...
For those of you who don't know, i had to stop all antibiotics over a year ago because they were literally killing my stomach and gut. So I'm on all natural treatment. Along with Lyme and...

Thanks, everyone! It was an awesome movie, but i sure bawled my eyes out! good to know i'm not the only person who cries easily at movies. i really enjoy finding well-made movies, but they often make...
I never used to be this way. But the past 3 years, I've noticed tears come easily when watching movies. The story doesn't even have to be really sappy or sad. And the flood-gates open. I watched "The...

I did Bicillin injections for 3 months. Got rid of almost all my joint pain. And the pain stayed away. The only reason I stopped: I got really tired of my bum being constantly sore all week. I don't...
Mom and I are on all natural treatment and both of us are seeing improvements! We both can't take oral antibiotics because they were killing my stomach and making my mom go into liver and kidney...

Letting you know I finally got around to replying to your email. =)...

Hi Karen, Just to let you know I got your email about gluten free foods, etc. Sierra...
Hey Gretchen ---so good to hear that you and Alyssa are doing better! But what a bummer about your hubby. My mom thinks my dad has Lyme too, it just hasn't made his health go downhill yet. He's...
Hey Maureen--i will introduce (if you're not already friends w/them) you to some lymies i know on FB. Gretchen P is on there. Gracie and Heather (teens) are on there as well. I'll suggest them as...
i'm fairly regular, but still have what i consider heavy periods. And i'm borderline anemic. My Lyme syptoms increase in severity when i'm on my period. Cramps are also really painful during my...

Wanted to let people who have a Facebook account know about a group on Facebook titled "You might be a lymie if..." I visit the group page to get my daily dose of lymie humor....
Right now, i can't handle the load of full college classes anyway, but was wondering how others have dealt with having Lyme and trying to attend college. Has everyone just given up on making it to a...
Flowerpoddess--- I think moderation is the key with all the things you questioned. Yes, agave, if consumed in excess, would probably feed yeast. Just like it's not a good idea to eat fruit in excess...
1. NO MORE INSOMNIA!! 2. I want my brain back. All neuro symptoms gone so I can attend college like a normal 18yr. old. 3. No more muscle cramps/spasms, esp. charlie-horses. 4. Intestinal...
Everything you listed happens to me too. It used to be worse, but after 2 1/2 rounds of Bicillin injections it didn't happen as much and my joints weren't hurting as much. My chiropractor has...
Oh, man, this is one I have experience with. I used to be a perfectionist when it came to my handwriting. Very neat, legible letters and spacing. Always printed. Avoided cursive at all costs. Always...

Anybody have any recommendations? Favorites? I need to temporarily distract my brain from the chaos of life right now. Some of my favorites: It's a Wonderful Life (am I the only one who gets...
They have to know how to "peel the onion" layer by layer of your body's health problems. The first naturopath I went to gave me all very good supplements, things my body needed (as determined by...
Summer!! What fantastic news to hear! I'm so happy for your entire family. I'm doing OK, not a whole lot of change in my condition, but maybe slightly better neurologically as of late. Hey, I'll take...
