Maybe you were brought here for a different reason ... maybe you will need to know in the future what a bulls-eye rash looks like ... hopefully so you can help someone -- a complete stranger rather than a friend of family member :P -- get treatment right away in an attempt to avoid chronic lyme.

I'm here for support too and I've made some good friends. :)

Hi y'all- Drive by hello. I just haven't been able to keep up with the thread (tired- my mojo went wherever Richard's did- hope they're having fun!) But, I heard that you were wondering where I'd been (hope the dingos were not sent out) :ph34r:

So,...... I wanted to pop (or should I say poop in my case!) in and say hello and wish everyone peace love and wubs :wub::wub::wub:

I feel so grateful to have met such a group of amazing people and such an inspiration to fight. I hope you all have a great week. I am thankful to "know" all of you even if it is cyberically (is that a new word for the rachelville dictionary?) :P

happy Birthday to Seth and Andrea, special wishes to you. :wub:

Hi Bev, good to see you :) I was about to call for a Dingo rescue :lol: I haven't been able to keep up either, my brain has been all in a fog, nothing computes...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETH :wub:

Quick question, what test kit do I order from IGenX? Are there many to choose from? If someone has specifics regarding this I would so grateful for the info :)

...and I apologize in advance if this has been asked/covered already, I just don't want to go back and get lost :blink:

Thanks so much Carla :) Always so helpful you are! And you deliver everything with a smile :lol:

Another quick question, does it absolutley positively 100% have to be IGenX???? Can other labs competently do the western blot testing?

Question about Igeneix--if a miracle occurs, and my new doctor will test me for Lyme, can she order the test from them--or does she just send the blood sample to them :blink:

I knew that Richard was a mischievious influence. :lol: I hope your mojo comes home. :)

In answer to the question as to a girl or boy, they don't know and are looking forward to being surprised. I am thinking, of course, that this is going to be the cutest baby ever, he has red hair and she is Japanese. I keep wandering into baby shops and picking up sleepers and such and thinking a real baby is going to fit in these. :lol: I am so happy for them and for me too.

I would have blamed my mojo as well - that is until Ms. Beverly from Beverly posted Open Original Shared Link on another thread. Now I'm REALLY CONCERNED about my mojo :o . If they've run off together I can only imagine...

Patti,

I think you have to have the paperwork from Igenix to send in.

GGGRRRR!!!

Just found out that we won't be all sitting together on our flights. One flight doesn't have any of us together. :angry:

Sometimes it's more fun that way. Let somebody else watch the kids on the plane :P Maybe they can "help" the flight attendant :)

I love surprises of this kind!

We'd love to see a picture after he/she is born.

Rinne,

The baby news is exciting! :D I love shopping for baby things--and I agree, this is going to be one beautiful child. :rolleyes:

Andrea,

I was afraid of that--I'll take it one step at a time. Thanks :)

I had my kids back in the dark ages--we never knew if we were having a boy or girl--it was just a nice surprise. (But, I "knew" they were both boys--I could feel it)

Julie, I think Bowen is a lab that is also considered reliable but I would want to check on that. Stephen Buhner, in "Healing Lyme" talks about the various tests and their weakness, it looks like there are new tests coming that are more reliable than the Western Blot. There is one that Bowen labs does now I think. He talks about Igenex as being an excellent lab and the importance of the quality of the lab work done. It is a little beyond my capacity for scientificness at the moment but basically Igenex pays close attention to detail and many other labs don't.

I don't know. My doctor's office took care of it all but then they use Igenex on a regular basis. Have you checked the Igenex site, maybe it says on there?

I think it's like Siberiacally (like when you're really cold- you're Siberia cold!)

Rinne- Supercool about the baby! It's so cool it's Siberia cool.

Yes- Richard and i suspect our mojos have run away together (we think we were twins seperated at birth- I was adopted so it's possible). We suspect they have gone on a vacation somewhere tropical. Like this:

Open Original Shared Link

I hope they're having fun! I got soyed and then glutened (by body lotion which I read the ingredients on and realized once it was way too late and i had already racheled a bag of gluten-free breadsticks :angry: ). Soy + gluten=pain and the blues.

Missing my mom this Thanksgiving too. Sorry I'm being a party pooper. I'll try to cheer up!

For Igenex, if it's a lab that your doc doesn't normally use, you call them and order the kit for no charge. You take it to your doctor, then he/she takes the blood and sends it in. I would order the kit just to be sure.

Bev, it's our job to cheer YOU up!!! Just take another look at Richard's turkey ... it's really good for a laugh! Wouldn't it be funny to put foil over your turkey so that it looks like that on Thanksgiving!!! :lol:

I still miss my dad after 10 years! You're entitled to feel blue! I always think of him still on his birthday, father's day, Christmas etc.

Donna and Bev--I'm so sorry that both of you are feeling blue :(

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
