Goshawk and walkingbyfaith, your welcome I know there were times when I wished I was dead everyday because of the terrible symptoms I experienced, but here I am now sometimes with herbs and really...
Hello everyone, and Nab welcome! I saw this notification on my email. It's been a while, but I thought I'd update you with my progress. I was on the buhner protocol for probably close to two years....
anyone?...
I am just wondering if anyone else has used Buhner's Herbal protocol whilst being on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication? I know he has listed in his book any interactions with herbs but I am...
I think that is what I should do, as I heard CD and others have nothing but good things to say about that....
First off I like your Username! And I've been treating for almost a year now and still have some of my worst symptoms which are: anxiety, depression and fibromyalgia type pains and muscle stiffness....
My new symptoms cropped up some time after I started taking Houtt...I have felt pretty crummy since I started it. I have been on a herb break now for a week and a half because I ran out, and my...
I have been using Buhner herbs now since May 2016. I haven't done them perfectly and it has been much trial and error, as well I have lacked consistency, taking breaks here and there. The core herbs...
Thanks for sharing, I have trouble with anxiety and sleep from time to time so this is good to know...
Hello Everyone, I have been active before on the Lyme Disease board but I have struggled all my life with Anxiety on and off, and I am in a really bad bout of it right now. I always was anxious about...
I love Hawaii Pharm personally....
Hi everyone, I will give you all a bit of an update on myself. I was the one always complaining of joint pain and muscle pain on this forum last year. I got lyme (I suspect in 2012) my first symptoms...
Hi Drez, yes, I've used it a lot. Buhner actually recommends it for sleep. Actually I just made my own homemade Marijuana Tincture, because I didn't want to smoke or vape it anymore. It works very...
I'm not sure but I will find out, I know she wanted to get antibiotics started, I think she might be able to buy them and self treat. But if you could pass the name of the llmd from Francesca and...
Hello friends, I am asking on behalf of a friend of a friend, who lives in Northern Italy who is very ill with Lyme and Rickettsia. She hasn't had any treatment yet and is looking for a Doctor to...
Hi Kitty, I had IC symptoms too. At first I thought I had a bad bladder infection - I got antibiotics and they didn't do anything. After a night in pain and urinating almost 20 times one night, I...
The rage and anger is strange isn't it? I had a bit of a fiery temper before lyme but very rarely. Now I get feelings of being so angry I just want to smash something, for no reason. Then I'll be...
Thank you both! I have not been tested for Bart but I decided to treat for it, (I will probably do the same for babesia) because I have my suspicions. I hope Hottuynia will get rid of it...from what...
Hi everybody, I added Hawthorn and more recently Houttuynia tincture to my Protocol. I have started slow. I am at the full dose of Hawthorn because I believe it is more of a support herb but the Hout...
I am so so sorry Pursiankitty. No one deserves to be treated like that. It really angers me to my core and something has got to change, in the way that people with chronic lyme are treated. All I can...
Oh another thing I forgot to say is, after I started Japanese knotweed and teasel I felt like it drew the bacteria from out of my joints. Now I tend to have more muscular pain but even that has been...
Hmm. I herxed tremendously from teasel, and my symptoms have always been primarily joint related. However I haven't had any swelling. I think it sounds like he is herxing from it, so maybe take a few...
Sorry to hear your feeling so crummy July. Your posts have helped me alot so I thank you for all you do to contribute here. Take time to rest and feel better. This too shall pass has become my new...
I've found that exercise makes me feel good immediately, but if I do any weight lifting I usually pay the next day. Not just regular sore muscles, much worse pain. I am hoping that the more I do it...
Thank you Julymorning! I didn't think that I was having extra stress than my usual (which can be pretty stressful) but I think this started around the same time I started Andrographis and red root. I...
Happy New Year everybody! At the start of my lyme journey I had no issues with sleep, I slept like a baby almost every night beside the odd jolt of anxiety. Now I seem to be having a lot of trouble...
Rikky - I totally agree with what you and others are saying. That is the most frustrating thing.... feeling well again, almost forgetting lyme only to be hit again like a ton of bricks. It is really...
Thanks everyone. That makes me feel better but I will still try not to miss. I am packing my tinctures with me to work every night now and secretly mixing them up haha. I feel like I'd be getting a...
My biggest hardship with treating lyme in the past and present seems to be my lack of consistency with taking my medicine. I have planned on a more through and consistent schedule that I've been...
Well...I am excited because my sweet hubby got me a punch pass to a new hot yoga studio that is literally within walking distance from our apartment. It uses infrared sauna technology to heat the...
Girlie : just curious, what is the epitope test?...
I guess I get confused by the word drop haha. Does that mean just one little tiny drop from the tincture, or the one full dropper of the tincture? (I started out with about a half a teaspoon)...
Hi July, I wasn't sure about the red root doseage either my I did start out at one slower in the beginning of December but I worked my way up, now this. Im doing dry brush, Epsom baths, yoga,...
Merry Christmas GH! Did you get tested for protomyxzoa rheumatica? I suspect I may have that too based on my symptoms....
Hello again, It would seem since I added Andrographis and red root tincture (1 teaspoon twice a day thus far) I have begun to suffer immensely, after having almost two months of very minimal...
Thanks for the tip PeteZa. I'll check them out. Does your hubby have lyme now?...
I need to get a few things off my chest so I hope you all don't mind if I have a bit of a ramble. My symptoms with Lyme started last year on December 29th, 2015. Just after Christmas, and on my...
Bdavis, wow yes that is quite the list. Did you test positive for a rheumatoid factor? Or have swelling redness in your joints? I've had alot of issues with my muscles and joints but no diagnoses...
Thanks for the info. These are two that I am wanting to try too but I am scared of the herx. I just recently added in Andrographis and it has been wicked, I was doing pretty good then I have been hit...
Multifacted, you sound a lot like me. I can go weeks or months with very minor symptoms, but I get flares of pain. I had an awesome month and a half with minor lyme symptoms, and a bladder infection...
Thanks to everyone for your speedy replies. I have missed you guys! I guess this is more common that I thought. I believe mine is from the tendons being tight, because it is more of a clicking amd a...
Hello all, It has been a long time since I posted here. I have been feeling rather stable in most of symptoms but still have my tired and achy days. The one symptom I have that keeps lingering is...
July morning, yes I never thought there would be a connection. I had bladder issues in the past before lyme and it cleared up the minute I took am antibiotic for it. This one didn't. It showed white...
Yes thank you. I did read that before, I've searched tirelessly on google now I may wanted to see if anyone here has had anything similar....
Apparently mine isn't a bladder or a kidney infection. But you can get back pain from just a bladder infection too. It's just lyme again having fun with me. Waiting to see if any other posters here...
I have pain in my pelvic area, ureters and my flank area lower back on both sides. The pain isn't that bad, it is more the constant having to pee and not much coming out is worst of it. Kept me up...
Ah yes, I do have the unsweetened organic cranberry, marshmallow root tea and D-Mannose. None of those things have helped me yet it has been a nightmare....
So I've had a hellish week, the bladder infection never went away despite two different antibiotics. I was in all night going to the bathroom 20 times, in pain in my kidneys and bladder. I went to...
Thanks Traveler. It's a pretty low dose for a short time but you never know what will happen. I feel scared that lyme is doing this to my bladder, as it feels like the worst bladder infection I've...
Thanks I was prescribed Bactrim just for five days....
