Thanks for that, Girlie. It just doesn’t make sense to have an MRI without leg weakness/tingling. Magog- trying to treat candida and EBV, though I still don’t think EBV is active. I start olive leaf...
And one more question: Can Lyme/co-infections cause a positive nerve conduction test? Most people I’ve read about who had Lyme related neuropathy had negative nerve tests....
bluelyme - When did you start working to heal the neuropathy and how is it now? The neurologist who diagnosed me today just blows off Lyme disease connection. There are symptoms of Sjogrens Syndrome...
This may be odd, but NAC gives me headaches. No problems with glutathione. And zinc also caused dizziness. With different infections in play, maybe that is playing a role, as Garzie mentioned?...
I'm with the others and am right there with Garzie. I started at half a MG and worked up to 1 mg before having weird dreams. I've stopped and will try again when other symptoms slow down....
astroman - Sorry I'm not any help here but wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you on this. I have not had the COVID shot(s) yet because I have so much going on already, the concern for what...
Of the things I've tried, it seems dry skin brushing then a shower helps the most. I dry skin brush starting with the bottoms of my feet and work up. Just another possibility for you, MarcR2. Don't...
dcd - So good to hear from you. I think of you and your time at Spero each day. So the question is "how is it going for you?" The feet and toes feel like they have minor burning more than a pain. And...
Last week I had a nerve conduction study done by a neurologist as my feet have hurt for a couple of years now. He said the tests show "moderate nerve damage," which sent me off into depression. I've...
Welcome Deborah. Nothing I can add to the great advice in posts above. I can say it is often trial and error to try and hit the right treatment. But this is a great place to be to get help and...
IgM from 82 to 56 IgG from about 220 to 190 Still getting feel like I have a fever everyday at 3:00 pm. Brucella was slightly elevated. Tightness and n throat and chest. Very confusing. Hoping good...
With positive tests for both Candida and EBV, I have been trying to treat them with monolaurin and Diflucan. While both cause symptoms when I take them, the Diflucan, even at 50 mg, makes it very...
This is real interesting. I've been drinking water with baking soda in it for about a year a few days a week. A study showed it can benefit those with kidney disease and delays progression of it. Now...
WBF - Just sent in blood to Igenex and babesia is one of those being tested. Hopefully, something will show up on one of those. ]Mark F and astroman - I am with you about the cortisol. Do believe...
Thanks, Blackpearl. It sucks for us all. I’m trying to find out if a positive candida antibody test means it is systemic and does that make it harder to treat/more dangerous? I would assume so since...
I didn't know azoles work against Bart, which is another I still suspect. But, as WBF mentioned, I am concentrating on candida, but will take a day or two off to recoup. I totally agree, Lymie 24,...
Agreed that after one month it probably isn’t the astralagus. With all this, we never know. I’ve got a huge sound job for a bicycle race in 10 days and have no idea how I can do it. From 6 am until 6...
Sorry to see you have stepped back a bit, Garzie. Glad it has "bottomed out" for you. What is your next step? You have been so helpful with your responses, I wish I could suggest more to help....
Thanks to you both for replying. These are my candida results, with less than 1.0 being negative: Candida Antibody IgA 1.5 H F Candida Antibody IgG 1.1 H F Candida Antibody IgM 1.7 H I started taking...
Woke up this morning with most anxiety I’ve ever had. Even had an episode of it at 4am, which I’ve never had. I have been treating more for Candida, but all this started before doing so. Migraines...
Cignet - Everyone here understands where you are at with all this. The frustration of not knowing a definite course of action is very frustrating. Time wears you down. There are times I just want to...
Hey Garzie. I noticed the cross reactivity with other bacteria, but they were all odd ones that don’t seem likely. With the test indicating “equivocal,” It’s not really saying it’s positive. Then...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7256864/ This is the study I was referring to in previous post. Im sorry it is not direct link. It is long but explains a lot....
Thanks for the information. It started me researching more and looking into the Brucella test result more. .80 <.80 means no antibody detected .80 - 1.10 is equivocal If above 1.10, an antibody...
Your points are well taken and questioning the positive diagnosis is reasonable. It is what throws me. Last night I compared antibody tests from past years and he most recent one. What jumped out was...
There are more combo herbs in my closet than I wish - hundreds of dollars worth I could not use because of not being able to find out which herb was causing problems. It's much simpler to start with...
Girlie - I always think of you when dealing with the morning anxiety issues. You were the first one to mention having them when I mentioned it years ago. So glad you are better, and like you, I go to...
The suicidal thoughts would be the tipping point for anyone. I've yet to run across an LLMD or naturpath who didn't think it was a good idea to back off some when symptoms, especially as severe as...
Garzie - "I'm just an internet googler." To me and others on this site, you are much than that. Most everything you bring up is researched based and has great backing behind it. Your comments and...
Garzie - LLMD seems to think it's active, despite the negative EBV DNA tests. He bases it off how many antibody tests have been positive for so long, and what he says is the rarity of Lyme causing...
The thought that it is inflammation makes sense. I had thought that as and all your comments seem to point in that direction . Just received a load of blood tests back from LLMD. Now I'm convinced...
No. That’s what’s odd about it. It feels like an uncomfortable tightness that impacts my throat, but it isn’t really affecting swallowing....
In the last month or so, I've developed this very hard to describe feeling around my neck and throat. It goes around the base of the sides of neck and even on both sides of font of neck. It's almost...
dcd - Great to see your update. Have been thinking about you and wondering if all was going well. Please keep us updated as my prayers are with you. Big step you have taken....
Thanks for all the replies. Still having trouble looking at screen. RC - caffeine helps me also. I think the mix of that and asprin in Excedrin are what make it better. saraeli - I will try the...
Is there a solid answer on what causes severe migraines with Lyme? It has been my worst and most frequent symptom since all this started 19 years ago, and it is off the charts right now. It's so bad,...
I do not take some of the mega doses you can get and have never had any trouble with the B complex I take. Agree about the thought they are water soluble and shouldn't cause problems, but maybe...
Astroman - That's what I'm hoping - the infections are causing the problems and will get better when treated. Trying to get stomach right at this point. In the meantime, I will do as much home...
It's weird as my feet don't hurt in a "pounding athletic sense." It's more of a burning, except for some arthritis in big toes from years of running too high on toes in faster races. Still waiting on...
Cant really add to the thoughts already provided, but am thinking if you and your daughter and hoping you find an answer soon on the situation. As cliche’ as it is, there’s nothing worse than seeing...
I guess the obvious answer is Bartonella, but I haven't come across old posts that fit exactly what I have happening. My toes and front ball of foot always feel some pain, but it is much worse after...
Your points in the Phage treatment was well taken, and your points are valid. You had mentioned that before in a post I made last year, I believe. Whatever you mention is always well thought out and...
Potsnpans - Your kind words are appreciated, though I could come up with a long list who would question the integrity part :). But thank you. My not so important thoughts about spending the money to...
First, Girlie was right when, in my comments from a year I meant Phage instead of Phase. I understand everyone's doubts and questioning of methods used and advertised at Biologix. The knowledge I...
Haven't seen those. My EBV antibodies have been high for several years, including IgM. I've mentioned that a number of times. Just not sure how that can relate to Bartonella, which is not doubting...
It's weird, but today is hasn't happened. I'm wondering if was a weird body reaction to either glutathione or NAC. Tomorrow I'll try them again and see if it happens. Bailey - Wish I had your blood...
It's like someone is toying with your life when that happens. The hope is that one day becomes tow, then three.... But it seems what happened to you is what takes place instead. After having this for...
When I was at Biologix Center, I believe PEMF therapy was part of overall treatment. I did come away from Biologix feeling there was less inflammation in my body/head. Hope you continue to get good...
