Cauliflower Queen, I went back and read some of your previous posts just now. You sound so much like me. I had/have mold toxicity issues that have tortured me for years now. I have had great...
Cauliflower Queen, I’m so sorry. I know how disappointing and depressing it can be to make gains only to get blindsided later. Then the fear and worry that comes and the struggle to make sense of it...
skinny joe, I don’t believe she is a fraud in any sense of the word. She started her consulting after she recovered and studied for it. Everyone has a right to make a living, and she gives a lot of...
I am having hand and foot pain. Very similar to what I described in the other post but not as severe. That happened when treating parasites. I took an Alinia on Saturday, so it could be from that. I...
I don’t think you’re wrong in how you’re looking at it. If it comes in contact with the yeast, it should kill it. Try coconut oil pulling for the coated tongue. Swish for 10-20 minutes once or twice...
I just read this post, as it was in the awesome list of old posts that TheDudeAbides brought up for me in regards to treating parasites. Since I have read Brenda’s blog site and was inspired by her...
Breezy, When you were taking Alinia as solo therapy, did you pass any intestinal worms? Did the Alinia have any effect positive or negative on your gut or bowel function?...
Did anyone who’s taken Alinia get UTI type symptoms from it? I have only taken random doses. Took about 4 doses I think over a 2-3 week period when UTI symptoms started. Culture test was negative and...
You gargle and spit it out, right? I suppose it could possibly cause a herx if it is absorbed into the mouth tissues and blood stream. Have you noticed any changes in the appearance of your tongue...
Is one harsher than the other? Does one cause worse herxing? Did either have a noticeable effect right away, or do they both take days to weeks to notice anything?...
Sara, You mentioned MCAS on another post in regards to the lab negative UTI symptoms I have been dealing with. I looked back through my notes, and I am starting to think you may be right. In addition...
I took Nitrofurantoin for about a week for suspected UTI a month ago. I thought the drug was wiping out my gut flora and posted about it. Later, I was looking for more information on the drug and...
The back rash looks like possibly an allergic reaction. Not sure what to think about the one on the leg. I don’t know anything about 5-htp without looking it up. Found this on 5-htp and allergic...
I take it twice a day but can’t really tell what it does. When I first started, it made me sleepy about 30 minutes later but wore off quickly and then I had trouble going to sleep. That corrected...
Thanks, Adam. Did the test benefit you and enable you to effectively treat the right organism?...
IMO, interstial cystitis is just a symptom label, not a diagnosis. I know CIRS can cause frequent urination, as can bartonella. I actually had frequent urination and feeling like bladder was never...
Has anyone done testing with this lab? I need to get to the bottom of my lab negative UTI symptoms. Have failed two antibiotics and symptoms are back for the 3rd time. A UTI website I found mentions...
I am wondering if Psilo or anyone else tested with Aperiomics. I am having ongoing problems with UTI symptoms with negative urinalysis and negative culture, but it definitely feels like an infection...
BTW, I have had soreness in my palms, soles, and inside of elbows before when herxing. I told the doctor it felt like my blood vessels hurt. She said it was from toxins and to take binders. I think I...
I don’t know but I’m dealing with the same thing. My hands have felt swollen and sore for several days now. I also started having UTI symptoms again, and have been feeling inflamed all over. May just...
VEGF can be low in CIRS/mold, so you could have bartonella with low VEGF in the presence of mold....
Johnny, I don’t say this in a judgemental way, but I couldn’t help but notice reading through parts 1 and 2 that there was a recurring mention of alcohol and drinking too much. I hope you will get...
Hey and welcome! I posted on Pt 2....
All those are good. The only things I foresee possibly causing a herx are glutathione and NAC. Start with the glutathione. Take whatever dose the doctor recommended. I was told by a mold doctor to...
I don’t have weakness, but I have trouble making a fist due to tightness and swelling in the hands and fingers....
I have some. My Lyme doctor prescribed it again, and this time the pharmacy got it filled. The first time a couple of years ago, the pharmacy said they couldn’t get it. I understand the fury over...
That is absolutely a toxic mold scenario. Learn more about about Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) at survivingmold.com and biotoxinjourney.com. There’s an organization called ISEAI that...
Glad to hear your liver enzymes are okay now. I wasn’t sure what you meant by dreaming awake. I have rare episodes where I get wild, intrusive images in my mind as soon as I go to bed and close my...
Oh, Mike, I’m so sorry. Those are awful symptoms. “ Kept waking up feeling like I was stopping breathing.” That’s the worst! I had that, too. Make sure you don’t have a hidden leak or hidden mold...
Looks like Galaxy announced a new bartonella test early this month. It’s called the Digital ePCR test. https://www.galaxydx.com/galaxy-launches-new-test-for-bartonella/ . “For newly infected...
That is interesting about the Bartonella bacilliformis. I live in the South. I suspect lifelong bart. I had the DNA Connexions test back in 2017, but it only came back positive for Lyme and...
Yes, contact your LLMD. I would not delay. DO think carefully about what led up to this, and see if you can identify anything. There are other triggers in addition to the types of stress triggers...
Readisorb is the one my doctor told me to take. I get it through Fullscript. See if you’re doctor has a Fullscript account. Yes. If you order from Fullscript, they recommend you choose priority...
Alxander, Hey! This has nothing to do with this post. I just came across some of your older posts while looking for something else and wanted to ask you about some things. I saw where you had really...
Zeobind is powder. ACZ is spray. The Zeobind only seemed to help for a short while. I can’t say the Zeobind necessarily made me feel worse. It just didn’t continue making me feel better long term....
I would pick MRI. It’s not that bad. Also, all the machines ate not identical. There are open and closed MRI’s. If it’s just your head, they should be able to use a machine that just goes over your...
Cherylfelice, After reading saraeli’s last post, it reminded me of TUDCA Plus. After starting it, whole body numbness started going away....
I thought I would post an update here, for my own records as much as for anyone else’s benefit. After Georgia Hunter responded that Nitrofurantoin usually only kills the undesirable bacteria, I...
Garzie, Thank you so much for that link. Extremely helpful. Best explanation I have seen. My doctor basically read me the lab report.🙄 I really would like to do this again. I had it done in June...
My bad. I thought I saw hydroxybutaric on yours, but I looked again and it’s something different....
This must be a different lab than Great Plains. I just looked over mine again. My glutathione indicators were terrible, even though I was supplementing liposomal glutathione daily around 1275 mg. My...
BTW, when I would feel the skipping. It would pick up after the skip with beats closer together. I would have spells, like I said. I could be in the checkout line at Walmart, and all of a sudden I...
I had palpitations way back in 1997 after losing weight. I went to a cardiologist and was checked out. Told I had mitral valve regurge and that no treatment was needed. The palps went away pretty...
Nic, If you decide to do this, let us know how it goes. I know you’ve had a hard time getting to remission and have tried a lot of things. Might be helpful to get a different perspective like Dr....
isitlyme, Thcx for the suggestion!...
After seeing a post on another brand of zeolite spray, I started thinking about this. This one is available through Fullscript, which I have access to via my Lyme doc. I have never used a zeolite...
Notime4lyme, Hi! Thank you for asking. I feel better. I finally thought of the obvious and tried gargling with warm, salty water before bed. Did it several nights in a row, and it definitely helped....
dcd, I saw one blogger talk about her use of TRS. It caused eczema and rashes in her. She assumed it was from toxins exiting the skin. For some reason, it didn’t seem to occur to her that she could...
Yeah. I think that’s one reason parasite treatment can be dangerous. Even in the GI tract, it’s possible a helminth can travel up through the esophagus instead of down out the other end. That, of...
I didn’t know she saw an LLMD in GA. What are her initials? I’m not sure where parasites outside the GI tract exit, which is one reason doing the whole parasite treatment thing scares me. I have...
