Thank you PeteZa! They would love that, my oldest, the only girl loves crafts and she's very helpful. She keeps asking if I'm better. I want to be able to do all kinds of fun Christmas things with...
Thank you Traveler, will check out links. I've also been reading and interested in Buhners Protocol. I think using a lot of herbal and supplements really helped me the first time. :) I think just a...
Im trying to get to the root cause of this sudden Lyme flare. As I mentioned, I have had Lyme for years and most of the time it is under control with my meds and just something that's a minor...
You had all this going on and you were helping and emailing me..thank you and whine away!...
When I got well the first time I had Lyme, I was on Mepron and zithromax....
Thank you all so much! Very sweet. The first time I got better with the help of all of you and also a LLMD...and this time trying to do it on my own and ignore it and just take medications that...
Thank You everyone! I think I just miss being here at this board as well and having others to talk to just like me. I was from RI, and of course there are deer ticks and Lyme in NH, they are...
Hi everyone....I haven't been here in awhile but I have visited this board on and off since 2005. That was my first time getting Lyme and I was 25 and I was very sick and had no idea what I had....
Hi everyone. I moved to NH from RI and I'm 3.5 years into my most recent Lyme infection. I wanted to see if there was someone a little bit closer to me in NH. I know this is probably hard to come by,...
Hi everyone thank you, it's good to know I have people on my side. Mystery Illness, I realized after reading your post that I hadn't given much thought to the cyst form. My first llmd was the one who...
Hi everyone, I've been having a tough time lately maybe someone can help, it's kind of complicated... My timeline: Infected in 2005. Went one year undiagnosed, was tested, treated and recovered in...
Hey everyone, hi I need help with my meds. I'm 32, had Lyme four separate times. This past time has been the worst and shows no sign of going away after a year. The good sign is that on my...
Whoops, Lyme brain...the eye question... Yesterday I was diagnosed with a nevus on my eye. I hadn't had this the last time I had my eyes checked in 2006. Is this at all related to Lyme? Also, the day...
Hi guys...I first became ill in 2005. I knew I had Lyme, that's when I joined here, but it went undiagnosed for a year. I became really sick on and off that year, and wasn't 100% I had Lyme but I had...
I think this is interesting and it makes sense. I have had Lyme four times. Not relapses but reinfections. My most recent bouts, two times that are together within the last 10 months, I have gone off...
Yes I have it!...
Just to add, I bought the MMS a few years back toward the end of my first bout with Lyme. I ordered it to get rid of my yeast. You're supposed to make your way up to 15 drops and I never made it past...
Thank you. I did just buy some Kefir. Lymester, by GSE, do you mean Golden Seal Extract, Grape Seed Extract or Grapefruit Seed Extract?...
I need help with my treatment. I have had Lyme 4 times. Yes, four separate times, because I'm stupid and keep going out places in my own yard where I know the ticks are abundant. I have beat Lyme two...
Hey guys I haven't been here in so long...brief history: Undiagnosed Lyme in 2005-2006, got treated by Dr. P in 2006 for several months, had healthy baby in 2007 and hadn't had symptoms for a few...
I didn't get the vax but I did get H1N1 flu. It wasn't too fun but I survived. I really do recommend getting Tamiflu if you can get it from your doctor. I have Lyme and I had a much less severe case...
I have to start Milk Thistle myself I think... Wow I didn't know an acid reflux pill could do it too! Wow! I was on Nexium, then Kapidex now I'm just doing Prilosec otc...
Do you think the internist scared you too much? Did your current doctor seem overly concerned with the enzymes, or just concerned the normal amount? I was just asking the age thing because it was...
I'm so sorry :( I'd say it was safe to say you probably don't have Hep if the tests were neg. Can I be intrusive and ask how old you are? Or approximately? I wish Diflucan wasn't so hard on the...
oh yes Diflucan can do that too! Not as toxic as Levaquin but definitely hard on the liver. Also if you were taking any Tylenol around that time, that's famous for being hard on the liver too....
Levaquin is just about the most toxic antibiotic, possibly one of the most toxic drugs, in the universe. That alone could do it in my opinion. Levaquin is not a good drug to be on long term. I had...
My old LLMD was and is very smart and explained to me how and why the Lyme organism is so very complex and hard to kill off. I can't even attempt to repeat it all here because my Lyme brain would...
I know...unfortunately from the first time I have learned my lesson and know all, and I mean all, of the signs. Bleh. It seems like the ticks tend to head for the middle part of the body a lot...I...
Oh also, I have a feeling of malaise a lot of time...just blah...like unwell...and before I realize I had Lyme again/around the time I found the bites, I had a swollen gland in my armpit and my neck...
well, there were actually 3 and he just said I was bitten in 3 different spots pretty much. He asked me if I saw any tick and I said no. He said there were definite puncture marks in the center of...
Yep mine was the same way! It was red like yours, had a definite center, warm, mine was slightly itchy at first, and I ended having THREE bite marks that my doctor identified, because there was also...
Thank You guys!! Well, the first time around I really did seem to get rid of all Lyme symptoms, or they were under control, either way, works for me... The first time I never saw a bite, this time, I...
Hello...As I posted recently I was recently infected with Lyme for the second time...actually for the second time in the last four years. I did get better the first time. But I had lasting effects...
LLMD said I could go in for him to see spots today. I also have developed hurting knees, stiff fingers and a myriad of other symptoms that I totally had a few years ago and did NOT miss at all. I'm...
Sorry for the craptastic photo quality! It's just hard to get a good shot of this...I was wondering if it looks like it has changed shape or color? And also, I have two smaller red spots on other...
oh yes I was very sick! And definitely got better. Just that the antibiotics left a path of destruction kinda. I still take probiotics! I ended up calling Lyme dr and they want me on the drugs and to...
I need help. I had Lyme in 2005...super sick for over a year, felt like I was dying, the whole bit...made a good comeback, except the antibiotics I was on left me with a nasty yeast problem and...
That's almost the same last thing I remember, except I remembered them telling me about the bite guard too. I seriously didn't even feel my IV being put in, I must have had a really good nurse. I...
Thanks, I'm going to get it and read it....
That is a terrible accident. I agree with the stiffer penalties, and hope that something will become of this. Is the article in this year's (next month) Seventeen magazine?...
I was also one of the people scared of both the procedure and the endoscopy. Though I am just in my twenties, I've had acid reflux for 5 years, I used to smoke, I eat nothing but acid producing food,...
Thank You Victoria, I'm glad to be of help! I seriously had no pain whatsoever either, the most pain I had while at the hospital was trying to get a too-tight ring off my finger, and I would do it...
Oh no, you poor thing! I was crying loudly while at home, but when I got to the hospital, it reduced to silent tears and a case of the shakes. Haha, that sounds like a joke my dad would've made too....
Yeah, she said she called my mom and said, "Holly must be okay because she left a message and belched in it." Haha. Also, I shouldn't be laughing at this......but when I was first in one of those...
Thank You Autumn and poobear, Yes the stress was much worse than the procedure. I feel silly now, but I know the fear is understandable. I was so scared, and this was easier than many other things I...
I lived! I didn't think I would, but I did! I was up until after 1 am last night crying. I slept only until 4:30 am and laid there until the alarm went off and my husband had to drag me out of the...
Glad to see you here. :) I never even knew there was a forum mod for GERD, I'd never seen one here....
Eek, the broken blood vessel sounds scary! :( Victoria, thank you for relaying the experience you have working as a nurse, and Autumn for telling me from her firsthand experience too. And I am too...
I read Autumn's posts and had even spoken with her through email, both concerned over the endoscopy procedure. She had emailed me to say that everything went smoothly, but it still hasn't eased my...
Thank You for the replies, yes it did help a bit. I just wish now I took better care of my body, as far as eating and smoking... I was hoping my age would help me out, but since I got acid reflux at...
