Someone on this forum mentioned MDL in New Jersey as a potential place to have tests. I have received its test kit and am close to getting my doctor to order tests. I called MDL directly and talked...
Both of you are thinking in area I was - clinching. I have a night guard, which, like k07, has not eliminated the numbness. The teeth feel numb on same side, so that may not be coincidence. I do know...
There is a big difference between preparing and hoarding. What dcd did, for instance, is smart, in my book. Being prepared is essential and needed. Those who bought out essential supplies then tried...
While gas has not been a problem, bloating has for a while now. Still happening, but not quite as bad since starting Betanine HCL with pepsin. I don't know if that would help you. I use it when...
The problem with those hoarding is most of them have no shame. Unlike so many on this site, their only thought is "self." There have always been more takers than givers in life, but the givers pay...
Though I can't point to Buhner herbs, I have had a daily fever in late afternoon for 1.5 years now. I do take some of Buhner's herbs, but this seems to be different. Like Saraeli, I have tested...
I have no idea what is what anymore. In the last couple of weeks, I have started having numbness in the right side of my nose and right side bottom teeth feel strange, mainly after sleeping. Any idea...
Medical Nerd - My apologies as you clearly had posted where you live in your previous post. I got caught up in the fact you had tested positive for European band. Maybe someone who lives that way can...
As mentioned in other post, the sooner you treat the less damage can happen with skin. There has to be someone who can help you in medical field. Where do you live/area?...
Medical Nerd - Our symptoms, right now, are very similar. The dizziness can wear you down, and I feel it must be tied to the tight neck and headaches/migraines. I have no idea what I have, except for...
If it is ACA, treatment of Lyme borellia is most important. That is what can cause all the issues. Getting the Lyme in check is what led to feeling better in 2015-2016 and seemed to stop loss of fat....
I don't know how long you have had Lyme Disease. Do you know about when you may have gotten it? The reason I ask is if it is ACA, which can come with B. afzelii, the sooner you treat the better the...
Rainy - You may be well aware of this, but just to throw it out there. If you have European Lyme, there is a good chance ACA might be involved. Do you have a loss of fat on parts of body? Or any hair...
Black Tara - I'm glad you have found something that helps you with that. I would take ashwaganda but it is contradicted with kidney problems. So I am trying turmeric as suggested by Rainy Cloud....
The areas diagnosed with biopsy on me were not tinea versicolor. And there is no true pattern to them. They vary in size and shape. Tinea also can be distinguished because it has small scales on them...
I take a good amount of herbs and some do thin blood. Omega 3, turmeric. Cordyceps slows clotting, so don't know if that would thin blood. Also take cryptolepsis and monolaurin. Other vitamins as...
Rainy - Are white spots small circles in larger areas that aren't perfectly round or have rougher edges?...
Hey WBF - Nothing out of the ordinary working in yard. No insects out yet like they soon will be. I have activated charcoal and actually took it about 2:00 am last night. The bad headache and stiff...
Hope you are feeling better, dcd. I would ask for prednisone but have had bad problems with it in past. Thrown off by what is causing this. I can take a lot of physical pain but have never...
Thanks, RainyCloud. I just took some to see what happens. I am wondering if pollen is impacting this as it has been ramping up here around Atlanta. I worked in the yard some yesterday, then I see out...
At lowest point, physically, after dealing with this for so many years. Looking for any suggestions that might help. Last night my neck became more stiff than ever, which lead to hours of headache,...
saraeli - I'm also glad you have not had many physical symptoms. It can't just be coincidence you have white spots. And are they spots are larger areas? Mine is larger than spots, but there is...
From all I have read over the years, you would have to take extremely large amounts to turn blue, as has been reported. If you read about anyone who turned blue, again, from all I've read, it was a...
Some people cannot understand exceptional, once in a lifetime circumstance. It's that simple. They are not equipped to deal with the reality of it. That is what I see with this virus, and I have seen...
Here is an excellent study on EBV or reactivated EBV. IT gets technical and even goes into EBV DNA, which I've found not a lot of doctors do. I've had the EBV DNA test twice, both negative, which...
I'm self bumping, but wondering if anyone else has these symptoms. I know some who do but am looking for others and what it is like for them....
What throws me is I've had a high IgM for almost a year now and have tried and tried to get it down. Not able to take some medications because of strain on kidneys. My belief is EBV causes most of...
I've always taken a teaspoon in the morning and then again in evening....
I use it for bacteria and virus. Does it help? That is a tough question to answer as I take other meds/herbs as well. I do believe it has helped me in the past, so I started using it again about 3...
Good you have a doctor that may be able to help you with EBV. I've not had much luck with that. I do take monolaurin, as you mentioned, along with orgegeno. Every other day I take L-ysine, but only...
Hope this may lead some people with what seems like loss of fat in body. I just read the pathology report regarding skin problems I have seen get worse over the year weight loss, wrinkling skin,...
My EBV VCA IgG in January was 155, with >21.9 being positive. But my IgM was 65.8, with >43.9 positive. It has been high for many months. I also have very high M pneumoniae IgG Abs at 1,726, with >99...
jb - I still am waiting for pathology report. Maybe that will have some subject matter that might be of assistance to you....
Sandyfeet - Thanks for the ideas. She did move about 10 months ago to a new place, so what you mentioned is a possibility. I've been suspicious about her gut for years as she was a very good runner...
k07 - From what I've read, c6 elisa is supposed to show increased sensitivity for Lyme Disease. I had not even heard of it until you mentioned the test. The prices at MDL are much better than Igenex...
My experience with mushrooms includes cordyceps and reshi. I have been using both for a couple of months now. Haven't felt good during that time, but I can't say it is caused by those. Wish I had...
That's a great point, WBF. My leptin levels are very low, but they can also lead to weight gain. Next month we will ask to add in leptin tests....
More concerns about my daughter, thoughts appreciated. Can EBV cause bloating? Her EBV results were pretty high, including IgM. She has begun to feel worse and her symptoms just seem "Lymish." Been...
jb - How big are the white spots? On me, they are more areas, but after dark light inspection, the dermatologist immediately said it is not indicative of vitiligo. The punch biopsy seemed to confirm...
Agree it sounds like a herx but possible higher dosage might cause an allergic reaction. If it normalizes with one dose, you should know....
astroman - Good points. I'm getting closer to acceptance with Lyme, and it has taught me so much. Not fun lessons, but lessons nonetheless. The "health clueless" you mention - I know the same people...
On COVID - Lyme and all that comes with it has kept me stay calm through all that is going on. I wish the virus to be gone, but because of living with Lyme for so long, I do not worry for myself. For...
astroman - The call was quick, and I am waiting for the results online, which should provide more detail. When she called I wasn't prepared to ask many questions as I thought she was calling Monday....
That's very similar to the one I mentioned. She is not the one who did the root canal. I am going to the biological dentist for the metal testing, but I don't believe my insurance will cover it. So...
According to thedermatologist, the white spots get more noticeable when you get in the sun because the skin around gets darker. I also tried to treat as fungus, but no change. Test showed no fungus....
Just spoke with the new dermatologist I went to last week who did a punch biopsy of skin in two places. She was very thorough and open to Lyme problems. For years I have thought I have acrodermatitis...
The dentist I see and want my daughter to go to is pretty open to natural methods. She has referred me to a dentist who can check me for metal reactions. I do have a crown. The dentist also has...
The doctor is the same one I see, locally, who does believe in chronic Lyme and has treated me for at least two years. She is open minded and is very good with Lyme associated tests that need to be...
Though there were yeast issues before starting, I've been taking cordyceps and reshi mushroom with no problems for a few months now....
She is going back to the doctor in a few weeks for more testing. It is the long-term bloating, fast weight gain and episodes of anxiety that lead me to Lyme, as she is usually pretty laid back. It...
