I am really sensitive to drugs, so my LLMD prescribed .5 mg of LDN. After 3 days I was so loopy and fatigued and beginning to get depressed. Yesterday I didn't take my dose, and already starting to...
Don't mix them together in the glass. You can take them in the same day, preferably an hour or more apart, but 30 minutes will do in a pinch....
Antibiotics are what saved me after trying Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cowden, and Buhner protocols. Antibiotics are what brought me around. After several years of abx, I am trying wean off them...
Thanks for sharing. Rowingmom, I'm glad that symptoms are 98% resolved for your daughter. Probably, everything in combination worked for you. Changing herbal tinctures probably was probably a good...
There are several doctors who treat Lyme in Chicagoland. You no longer have to go out of state. The Lymenet forum will also privately message you with doctors upon request. Forget Mayo Clinic, Univ....
For those who have taken Byron White formulas, do you take one formula at a time, more than one? And for how long? I was able to convince my LLMD to order the formulas for me. I have been on abx for...
Yes, I am very interested in this ISPOT test to determine if I can stop treating borrelia. I've been on abx for 6 years. I'm much better, but I'm worried about abx resistance. I've made an...
Healing98, I'm glad to hear you like Dr. B. I was considering going to him after my LLMD lost his practice in July. He seems to be up to date with the current and latest Lyme protocols. Is this true?...
Hmmm, most Lyme people do test positive the Igenex western blot. The CD57 is just indicative of how well you are doing on treatment, but even that can vary as much as 100 points depending on the lab....
What is an i-spot test? I haven't heard of it. That's wonderful you no longer have lyme. Congrats!...
Yes, my strong teeth have deteriorated since I've had Lyme. They are so much weaker and I do get occasional discomfort. And yes, Listerine does help a great deal. I use it before I go to bed, but...
Green tea is also helpful. If the herx is intolerable, take two charcoal pills every few hours. Cut back on your abx dosage per your doctor's instructions. Don't do too many herbs/ medicines at one...
I use fresh limes. They are juicier than lemons, too, and I think work just as well or better. They are usually cheaper. too. I use Truvia to sweeten the juice and add water and a straw. Really helps...
Lymester, How are you doing now 3 months later? How many drops did you get up to? Thanks for sharing the above info. CherylSue...
Any one here have any experience with using Deseret Biologicals? My LLMD wants me to try the bacteria combo one for my Mycoplasma coinfection. Thanks for your input....
You have a great resource in the Michigan Lyme Association. They can be found online. They will give you recommendations from Michigan and also around the U.S....
zithro is used for other coinfections as well, mycoplasma, bart, and babs. It is combined a lot with other drugs. I'm very sensitive to it, and can only do small amounts....
I've been on Zith a month now - worked up from a 1/4 tablet to one 250mg tablet. Herxing really bad with a lot of depression. Zith can do that to some people. I will have to pulse. to every other day....
My LLMD determined that my recent relapse is due to mycoplasma pneumonia. My Lyme and babesia are under control. Dr. B calls mycoplasma the "chronic fatigue germ." You can read more by visiting Dr....
My current LLMD put me on Isocort. It was cheaper from the endfatiguedotcom website hosted by Dr. T. She had tested my adrenals and they were on the low side of normal or just below normal. She...
Hi Georgiagirl, I just popped in this forum after being away for several months, but I do recognize your name. So sorry to hear about your accident, but you seem to be doing better Lymewise which is...
I get burning sensations, too, when I'm flaring. However, I think in your case you got too much sun exposure with the doxycyline. That can really hurt! I've been there. My hands were on fire, and my...
I get mild sweats at night, too. My relapses and illnesses have a lot of neck pain, but I thought that was the Lyme. I get slightly nauseiou and lose my appetite. The fatigue and flulike malaise...
I did Cowden for 10 months and then saw an LLMD and did abox. The cumanda raised a cytokine storm, and I felt awful all the time. If I had to do it over again, I would have skipped the Cowden...
Our vet says she sees several cases of Lyme in a year. Doxycycline always helps them. Your dog will get better quicker than you! Yes, Lyme can cause anxiety and nervousness. That, and the fact you...
Yes, this is my LLMD. Good suggestions above. Bring a pad and pen with you and take NOTES! He'll give you handouts, but it's always better to have notes to review. He pretty much does monotherapy one...
Has anybody used Houttuynia (HH) one of Dr. Z's chinese herbs for bartonella with any success? How much did you take? Did you herx? Did you build up to it? How long were you on it? Thanks, CherylSue...
go to Lauricidin.com You can purchase it online or call them. CherylSue...
My LLMD suggested I take Lauricidin pellets or colloidal silver for viruses. Lauricidin is stronger, and you have to go slower and build up slowly. CherylSue...
I did a modified Cowden protocol for almost 10 months. I wish I had done the abx first. Faster positive effects with the abx. I would skip the Cowden until I were in remission and then just use them...
I developed some slight discoloration on my cheek. I can cover it with makeup and blush. So that's from the doxy? I'm not surprised. CherylSue...
Deejavu, First get all that mole out, and get a surgeon to go deep. There's basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas which are not quite as dangerous. I know quite a few people who had melanoma years...
Activated Charcoal (two hours away from supplements and abx) Nutramedix burbur drops in water...
Has anbody any experience with this. In Ken Singleton'w THE LYME SOLUTION he mentions that this can help many, though not all, Lyme sufferers. Can anybody shed light on this? Thanks, CherylSue...
Burrascano's 2008 guidelines are now available. I was able to read them from betterhealthguy.com website. I've done both the herbal and abx route. They are both rough with lots of herxing, etc. I...
Good question. I have the same symptoms and thought I was having a relapse. However, my hubby is recovering from a bad cold with lots of fatigue. I'm beginning to think it's a cold virus aggravating...
My LLMD only uses IV abx as a last resort. He seldom uses them anymore. He switches abx around, and there were many I couldn't tolerate, so we just tried another. He does this so we don't build a...
Yep, I read that in Dr. S's book THE LYME SOLUTION, and elsewhere. I think Dr. S (FLA) talks about that in his babesia book, as well. Doxy can be taken with a macrolide, but not with Flagyl CherylSue...
My LLMD advocates the use of OTC adtivated charcoal. It's cheap enough and works, especially when herxes get difficult. My LLMD does not believe in hard herxes. Sometimes you have to back down some....
Lance, I remember you when I first joined this forum. I don't come here often, but I remember you were about 90% or more and were using Cumanda and other Nutramedix products with abx. I've tried...
I wouldn't rely on the Cowden protocol only to cure you of Lyme. Make sure you are on abx, too! CherylSue...
My LLMD says Flagyl is the cornerstone of his treatment. He gives it down the road for the cyst form of Lyme, but he also says he's pretty sure it goes after babesia, too. He's been seeing this in...
Amy updates on Valtrex use? My doctor just prescribed some for me. I have diagnosed CFS. I'm to start out slowly and increase gradually because I herx to so many things. I'm eager to hear your...
