Wait a second. So you actually had a heart attack that was induced by abx that has a black box warning? Was your prolonged qt syndrome caused by azithromycin by any chance? You're lucky to have...
Just because a lyme test is negative doesn't mean you don't have lyme or other pathogens. Lyme is a clinical diagnosis. Some people never get the typical bull's-eye rash yet they're still infected...

Is there a black box warning for ivermectin? Does it cause prolongued qt syndrome like azithromycin?...
Sorry to hear of your anxiety and narcoleptic episodes. When did the latter start? And do you feel refreshed after you take the short nap during the day? It's great that you still get those 8 hours...

It probably won't fix the acid reflux issue, but hawthorne is the herb of choice when it comes to palpitations. Your heart will thank you for it. There's also leonurus cardiaca as a second option ....

Hi lymie24 I'm glad the first few test stings went well. This will be quite a long-term therapy so feel free to titrate up the venom dose slowly. It's not a problem if you stay at only a few stings...
Have you tried lion's mane? Did your headaches start after you got the bullseye rash? I believe BLO (bartonella like organisms) can cause lightning bolt headaches but I bet so can pretty much every...
Keep in mind that the epipen usually contains sodium metabisulphite (E223) which by itself can cause an anaphylactic reaction in sensitive people lol....
How large is the bruise and is it perfectly round?...
I guess there's only one way to find out ;) You need to find an experienced apitherapist in your vicinity. An experienced bee keeper should suffice as well. Please let us know how your first honey...
Hi. So you're saying that the anthelminthic drug ivermectin is also part of the macrolide group of antibiotics such as Azithromycin? Does this mean that ivermectin also comes with a black box...
Thanks Girlie. What about the rocephine? Steven Johnsons syndrome is one of its possible side effects. I took it for nearly a month and it caused a patch of dry skin on my leg that won't go away....
Hi Girlie can you please tell me why you are reluctant to take bactrim? Does it have a black box warning? Thanks....

Is it wise to supplement with calcium for those unfortunate ones suffering from chronic bone pain? The pain is quite intense actually. It feels like someone repeatedly stabbing your bone with a...
Does it feel like a whole bunch of little nematodes crawling under your skin?...
I'm not so sure if the antidepressants are actually messing with the microbiome per say. Well they probably are in one way or another. I think they cause a water buildup inside your tissues hence...
This probably happens because ABX also affect the mitochondria of our cells since mitochondria have many features in common with bacteria... I wonder if the body can repair these damaged...
If nothing else works you could try some bee venom if you're not allergic that is....
Yes in theory the bee venom eye drops should be able to clear any vermin from the eye. So are you contemplating starting the BVT protocol anytime in the future once you're off those abx? BVT is so...
Wait for bluelyme's confirmation though just to be on the safe side. How long have you been doing the BVT? How many stings are you at? Welcome to the wonderful world of bees!...
