Took a break for awhile. Decided to give others the benefit of my rant/whine sessions. Spent the last week selling at a flea market. Don't know how I did it, but I did it. Thanks. I'm having funky premature heartbeats. Funny thing is they're regular - every third one. While PACs usually aren't anything to worry about in a healthy person...

Kass, Looks like we're going to be joining the IV abx club together. Saw L at my Dr H's office yesterday and she wants me to start on them asap. Fun! Maybe we can come up with a password and a funny handshake or somesuch. ------------- In other news, finished the flea market. I felt better than I thought, but was still in pain and...

Miamia, Congrats on re-entering the dairy and gluteny worlds! Katy, You might want to look at an RBC elements blood test. It tests the mineral content of what's in your red blood cells, rather than what's circulating in serum. It can give a better idea of what's in your tissues. The main problem with hair analysis is that it only shows what...

Hey! Just stopping by to let you know I'm still kicking. Been immersed in the world of brain stuff lately, trying to educate myself. Got my MRI results back. No typical lyme lesions, but they did find something. Unfortunately, they couldn't really tell what it was. It's either a gliosis (brain scar tissue) or a sign of early vascular disease in the...

LOL! 9:30 is actually ok for me. I usually don't crash until around 11. It's the afternoon appts that get me because I'm apparently needing 3 hours naps these days. Ugh! I'm just slightly miffed because I want to see the results... now! The zith is going great! No side effects so far. *knock wood* My stomach's even behaving! Woah...

Hrm. So I get there, get in the machine *bump bump click click click*, and tech comes in. The tech, btw, was extremely cute although not a whole lot of personality. But anyway..... He said he called the radiologist while I was in there (heckuva time to call). The radiologist said that in order to get a better look at what's going on in my head,...

Another drive-by. Must be a trend tonight. I'm doing much better these days. The migraines and vomiting episodes have gone away since I stopped taking the Mino. I'm on day 2 of Zith and no side effects so far. *knock wood* Other than knots in my right shoulder and neck that won't go away, I'm actually feeling pretty good. Even the tingling...

She's taking me off the Malarone too. "Musical Meds" anyone? This is wild tho. Never thought I'd have so many problems with medications. It ain't right, I tells ya!

L just called. She wants me off everthing but the plaquenil and nystatin. She doesn't like the reactions I'm having to the meds. Switching my meds over to ceftin and zith. I'm supposed to skip today and tomorrow and start the new meds on Saturday. Stomach's still oogy and head's a tad achy, but otherwise sort of ok. Glad to hear the herx is...

Nyxie, semi-professional smartazz. At your service. Not Dr H. Got a fax from the office finally giving me the pre-cert number for the MRI (only took over a week). *grumblemutter* They did, however, write it on the page I faxed to them yesterday with a list of my recent symptoms. Guess that's my answer. It's scheduled for this coming Monday...

LOL! It's a carryover from a running joke on another board. Just feel it applies to myself most days. The link is here if you care to check it out: Open Original Shared Link

Whew! Ok. Yeah, figured we were goofing around, but wanted to make sure. You know how afterwards you sometimes think about things and they start seeming worse than they were or start questioning yourself and such. But anyhoo.... You're still older than me. Neener!

Carla, Sorry for being a jerk last night. Was trying to be a brat and guess I passed it.

Bully4You, I try to limit soy (mostly because of the impact it has on the thyroid), but with my reactions to most meats (even chicken if I eat it too often) I'm try to vary my protein intake. And I'm not a huge fan of fish. I'm currently doing a rotation diet, which means I can only eat a food every 4 days. Some foods even less so (max 1x a week) depending...
