Ok this worries me a bit lol. I've been on plaquenil/azithromycin/ceftin/rifampin daily for at least a year now. I have had issues with irregular heart beats/palpitations but I had those from Lyme...
I've been on the plaquenil/rifampin combo daily for over a year with out any noticable harm....
I'd really like to see the US shut down for two weeks. For one it would slow spread and would allow is to identify trouble/hot spots. Maybe slow it enough so we don't overwhelm our hospitals. I got...
Not sure if it's been posted here but if you want reasonable science based info on the covid19 pandemic watch Dr John Campbell on you tube. Medcram isn't bad either but I like Dr John. Watch his...
I use a tens unit all the time. Mainlynfor severe back pain. I couldn't function without it many days. Haven't experienced any problems....
Congratulations that is awesome!...
Are we (Lyme patients) just phase two of the tuskegee experiment? Sometimes it feels that way. The Corona virus certainly could have come from man and not a bat at a fish market. This article is from...
Good luck gc. I've had the flu since new year's Eve. Just can't shake it. Caused a significant relapse and have been down for the entire month of January. Cough is finally getting better but still...
I have a hard time with a lot of meds. No problem with rifampin. Been on it for at least a year. Don't know if it's really helped that much or not. It's a bit of a pita working it in around all the...
I have low creatine. No idea why. I eat tons of meat so it's not that. Low creatine, high eosinophils and basophils. Getting checked again this week. Last test was in October....
Depending on where you live there's a fair chance it already grows nearby. I'm in the northern panhandle of WV and it grows everywhere around here. I see it in Pittsburgh too. Grows along the Ohio...
My family is working on this now. After 2 1/2 years of being really sick we let a lot of things slide and build up. Not to mention just the normal accumulation of junk from living here for the last...
I have had the sinus surgery twice in my life. Those freaking splints are the most uncomfortable medical torture device ever made. What a miserable recovery, can't breath, swallow, drink, eat, sleep...
I had sinus surgery and started allergy shots before lyme and bart got really bad. I was getting them every week and they were definitely helping. I continued to get them even when I was hospitalized...
Many medicinal mushrooms grow right outside your door. Reishi can be found in the spring growing on hemlock trees. Lions mane grows on oaks and other hardwoods in the late summer early fall. Most of...
Hey Peter, how are you doing? I hope things have improved at least a little bit for you....
Peter, hang on buddy. Bart can seriously mess up your mind. I know from personal experience, this last week has been particularly rough. These are not your thoughts they are the disease. I have the...
I was on flagyl twice daily for a year. It was the hardest abx to tolerate so far. Made me feel terrible....
Thanks Saraeli. I read that parasites could raise your eosinophils. I never really gave them much thought until I started reading some posts on here. Now I'm wondering if maybe I have a parasite...
My basophils and eosinophils are high and my creatine is low. Anything to be concerned about? Or is this normal for someone in my position (treating Lyme and Bart)? I read high eosinophils could be...
This was on the be the match site "If you have fully recovered from a tick-borne disease, such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, human anaplasmosis, or Rocky Mountain spotted fever, you will be able to...
This was in the news today, maybe it's not to far from you??? Seems like they would be happy if you dug some up. The Telegraph: Floods are spreading Japanese Knotweed, warns Wildlife Trust....
You could make your own tincture. From what I've read it grows all over the UK but is considered an invasive (which it is). There are a lot of you tube videos about cooking with it and how to make...
Yes on astragalus. Thanks hlongden. And it only had Lyme so that was a good thing as well....
Yes still on bvt. Stung 5 stings, one right where the tick was and four right around it. Whole area no bigger than a nickel. Then seven more in my back. That was all done immediately after removing...
I just saw your post dude, I want that! Not sure why but I want it lol. I hope soon jova because I can't get away from the ticks....
Message from Tick testing company: "Tick specimen tested positive for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia spp.. It tested negative for the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia...
Lyme has helped me get rid of that pesky life's savings and job. It helped me give up my life and hobbies. It helped to prematurely age me by decades. It has helped me to constantly worry about...
I'm on multiple abx and herbals now so hopefully it will be ok. As soon as I found tick wife pulled it out and then she went to the bee hives and grabbed a dozen bees. She stung me once right on the...
Was feeling really bad yesterday like I was having a relapse. Started to get dizzy, heart palpitations, weak, extremely fatigued etc. I had to lay down. When I took my shirt off there was a little...
WBF sorry to hear that it has come to this for you. I hope you are in a warm climate. Hope you are least have an suv. I have spent many nights in the back of a Toyota 4runner and a Toyota RAV4 pretty...
Thanks Girlie and Walking. I got good news the doctor said it was a clean break. Everything lined up reasonably well so no surgery just a cast for six to eight weeks. Rest of my body pretty sore. I...
My llmd told me rifampin is stronger than rifabutin. He said they give rifabutin to patients that can't handle rifampin. I asked to switch and that is what he said?...
I've been getting a little dizzy here and there through out this whole ordeal but since starting dapsone it's been a little worse. Not so much dizzy but just off balance a bit. Hard to explain. Well...
I dream of that day. Hope it is possible for me as well. Right now having a flare and feeling horrible. I'm happy for you, congratulations....
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles physedgirl09. I know it must be very hard on you. Hopefully things will improve for you soon. I'm stalled out and in the same depressed place you are, nothing is...
That's generally not a recommended protocol for bartonella. "Dapsone might work for bart. I had some success with bactrim, but the usual recommendations for bartonella are doxy/mino or...
Yes I had the pcr test. Positive for Bartonella bacilliformis (carrion's disease). This was after treating lyme, tested positive for all titers, for over a year with iv and oral abx , bvt, and herbs....
Excessive sweating is the main symptom but as you stated is it caused by babs, Bart or ? Is dapsone effective for anything else? I suggested mepron but llmd wants dapsone. I think we are just...
Llmd wants me to back off ceftin to every other day. He also wants me to switch to the carnivore diet. I have been using herbals as well. I'm on a ton of stuff right now. If it is babesia will this...
Hi all. It's been a while since I've been here. Been having a hard time and honestly just in a funk. Been sick off and on (flu, stomach virus, severe sore throat for over a month etc) plus some...
It's is and varies. I'm not at full dose yet, I take three or four at once. I also got this little tray that holds the capsules and makes it really easy to fill alot of capsules fast....
I have the compounded csm. Tastes horrible and texture is terrible. I bought empty pill capsules on Amazon and now I just fill and swallow them. Sooooo much better. Just like taking any other...
https://fourthievesvinegar.org/ Instructions here on how to make your own Epipen. Many you tube how to make videos....
Insomniaaa, if you think there is even a chance that you got hives after stinging I would be very careful. Do you keep an Epipen on site when you sting if you are doing it yourself? Next time try one...
After reading a story yesterday about how there is no chronic Lyme and docs should stop giving crazy people abx I was so angry, defeated and lost. Then the same news feed had this article today. The...
I used to skip doses alot in the beginning when I was feeling really bad. Never had a problem. Also did half doses sometimes until I started to improve some....
Thank you very much for the replies....
What does this mean, what should I make of it? Doc says immune system is still not working. I thought that abx treatment would bring it back into the normal range? What can I do to improve my immune...
