    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    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!
  10. Nyxie63
    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
  13. Nyxie63
    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.
  15. Nyxie63
    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...
  16. Nyxie63
    Thank you for the replies! Will have to try the tofu/freezer thing. Hubby won't touch tofu (it's evil, he says) and I have to find some way of sliding it past him. Fortunately, he's more open to the idea of veggie burgers and the like. Looking for fast and easy for days I'm really not feeling up to cooking (let alone getting out of bed) and the...

    I've torn the grocer's freezer case apart at this point. Can't find anything like a veggie burger or tofu hot dog that doesn't have gluten in it. Do you have any products (brand names)? I need help here! Thanks!
  18. Nyxie63
    Nope. I tend to fluctuate between bouts of extreme hunger and not wanting anything but liquids. Right now, I'm hungry but don't want to eat anything. It'll probably be a smoothie and "fudge" day (starting malarone today). I'm reacting to a lot of things, even those not on my list. Can tell because of almost instant post nasal drip after eating. Probably...

    Happy Birthday Carla! Does that make you older than me now? <--- quick exit, stage right
  20. Nyxie63
    Well! Wasn't that interesting? Hmmmm..... Managed to find someone to go with me to help with the driving. More on that later. Got all my test results back. Still trying to figure out what to make of them. Been googling various tests to find out what exactly they mean. Apparently I'm not producing many antibodies. Even to things I should...
  21. Nyxie63
    Wow, Paula! I'm so sorry about you and the girls! Hope you're all feeling better soon.
  22. Nyxie63
    Thanks Andrea. I decided to take a deep breath and bite the bullet. I'd rather have help available if I need it rather than be stuck somewhere, too tired to keep driving.
  23. Nyxie63
    Hey Gang! Haven't been around in awhile. Just wanted to let you know I have an appt with Lauren/Dr H tomorrow. Will post when I get back. Found out that hubby has training tomorrow instead of a day off, so I'm going by myself. Sucks, but there's nobody to go with me. Well, there's one person who "could", but they have a very high annoyance factor...
  24. Nyxie63
    I don't feel comfortable calling, but I see the LLMD in 2 weeks. I'm making a list of questions to take with me (it gets longer by the day). Thinking of faxing them to L ahead of time so as not to take up valuable appt time with the asking. Carla, have you done this? Think it'd be ok? I do tend to feel better when I have fermented foods (miso, vinegar...
  25. Nyxie63
    Just got back from seeing the holistic MD. I'm sooooooo not happy. That's two docs in a week who've let me down. I'm thinking of just chucking the whole thing and letting the lyme doc handle everything. She never even mentioned the blood tests I'd had done. And I'm pretty sure her panties are in a twist because I went to see a lyme specialist. Strange...
