I haven't been treating with pharma. I've been on many prescribed treatments over the years but it's only a temporary fix. And I can't handle all the side effects. So I've been using oils, essential...
I have a lot of the symptoms. I live with joint pain, swollen joints, brain fog, etc. The rash off and on for years but it's been more intense for the past few months....
Haven't been here for quite a long while. Having an issue with a rash mostly on my arms, shoulders and legs. It is small bumps that itch like crazy. I have Lyme, my test come back as an old infection...
My daughter, who is a LPN, is helping me with this. I'm going to go see the Rhmy that I was seeing when I first started with all of this. Have to call and make an appointment. So far it's suppose to...
Post re: rash a few days ago. Still have it and more. My other hand is getting really bad now. The itch and burning is very bad but the pain in my joints have me stopping what I'm doing and crying....
Thanks for the feed back. Just something else with no clear answers. Wonder if I'll ever have any answers in my life time. lol...
I've been having a few really bad weeks. One of the big problems is that the ACA rash is the worse it's ever been. What I was wondering is if anyone knows if this rash will spread. I'm a cook and so...
I find that I have this issue also. Sometime I can hear myself and can't beleive it's me. Couldn't figure out what was going on. I went thru years of speech therapy and was afraid something snapped...
I have had this for a long time. It's very exhausting having Lyme but you just have to keep going....
I feel almost as bad as I did when I first started treatment. Had my second PICC over the summer but had to had it removed due to going back to work and insurance would no longer cover treatment. So...
I too have never had a bullseye rash. I don't ever remember pulling a tick off either. I live in the middle of tick country and grew up outside playing and have always liked it better outside then...
I have the same thing. It's been like this for some time now. I even get little bumps on the inside of my lips that come and go....
I would try to find a LLMD to see what they think.Or better yet go to Dr. J's site and do some research....
I also have been on abx for just about a year so far. Just started with my second PICC and IV treatment four weeks ago, have two more to go. Well, maybe, they did say that they may want me to have...
I also feel/felt that abx treatment will/would be the way to go. I have been being treated for just over a year and have had my ups and downs. The best is to research and find what you feel is best....
I have my second PICC in. I agree that you should not have your PICC removed until you know for sure you're not continuing treatment. This is my second PICC and I will know next week if I need to...
I never knew this. Will be checking into more. I have been having issue with DP for a while now just like you but don't remember if when I was on Mepron if it was worse. I maybe going on the Mepron...
I also have Bart and there are days that my feet hurt like crazy. It's usually the bottoms. I work on my feet all day so when the end of the day comes I can barely walk. Of course the ankles don't...
There are benefits of each, abx and natural. I have found that you need to build your systems up and take the abx to kill the bacteria. Don't forget the detox bathes. Relaxing and as little stress as...
I feel that moderation is best. I have cut back on sugar due to candida and find it helps. I drink lemon water with aguva nectar as a sweetner, even in my cup of coffee in the a.m. When I have a...
I have found that the reason most doctors only do short term abx is due to the insurance companies. Insurance companies do not want to pay for the long term treatment and put pressure on the doctors....
I have had very bad palpitations but mine was from hypothyroidism and/or low potassium. If you are on a diuretic it may cause low potassium....
There are many different thing you can use. I have found that most of the detox baths have epsom salts and hydrogen proxide in them. It's what works best for you. I like to have something the smells...
Has anyone tried to have their insurance treat bartonella?Just trying to see if there's a way around all this insurance stuff. I have been on unemployment for the summer and having IV treatment, I...
I'm the same. When I'm moving I don't hurt as much. But boy oh boy when I stop and start again it's murder. I just push thru it. By late morning I get tired and if I stop I'm done. When I get home...
Back up to 3 abx. I did have a temp and we figured that with working around kids all day I most likely go some "bug". Wants me to stay home the next two days so the abx get into my system so I am...
I am still on treatment. Heading to see my LLMD now. I'm still working and there's alot of stress involved. Just need to get thru 2 1/2 more weeks then off for the summer. Not sure I'm going to make...
Where about in the NE are you. I'm in NY, mid state....

I've always tested positive to Bart along with Lyme. I've never had the streaking. Feet pain, rash, head pains, numbness, etc. I've been on treatment for a year now and still have all the same things...

Thanks LoveHealth. It's bad enough to have this myself but to have others around you that you care about and love going thru the same is horrible. All ages, races, sex - it doesn't matter. Just...
I was on a muscle relaxant but didn't have it refilled. Think I'm going to see about getting it again. It did help and I slept so much better with it. Right now I'm only getting 3 to 4 hours a night...

You may want to go to the ER and get the chest pains checked out. Nothing to play around with....
When my daughter was an infant she got a bad yeast infection. Most likely from me while in the womb. Anyway, an older doctor who used natural and medical for treatment told me to use Horsetail Tea or...

I am seeing an IDMD. She's been really great. I have checked into the LLMD's in my area, there are quite a few real good ones, and they want $800.00 to walk thru the door. I just can't swing that....
Let me begin by saying I can't afford to go to a LLMD. I have insurance by no one takes it. Frustrating. It's been 4 years of trying to find what was wrong with me. I do not know when I was bite....
When I first started my journey with Lyme, one of the first Dr. I saw said I had Carpal Tunnel in both hands and Tennis Elbow in both elbows. I was sent to PT with no help. It was shortly after that...
