    I wouldnt totally rule out parasites or yeast based on just this stool test because they arent really reliable for finding these issues. I have no experience with the klebsiella (not yet anyway). Donna knows more about that. How do they test for gluten? Is it an antibody test? I dont know if anything showing up in a stool test means that you definately...

    Paula.....what do they say?
  3. Rachel--24
    This is definately encouraging! I know that there isnt an easy answer but just having doctors who are patient and will work hard to find the "loophole" is all that I can ask for. I think that because I'm functional I sometimes feel that its not going to be very difficult to get things back on track. Reality hits whenever I get tested and I'm not testing...

    Thanks April ....I'll check it out. and yes....iodine scientificness pleeeeese.
  5. Rachel--24
    What brand did you use? Maybe I can go to his office and get some.....I'm sure it would be better than the stuff I planned on getting at Walgreens. Or maybe its all the same?? Anyways, I do think my body needs iodine......so hopefully it will do me some good. Dr. K. calls the parasites "knights in shining armour" because he believes...
  6. Rachel--24
    Yeah....its a bigger player than I thought because even though I knew that they were hanging out together (metals/lyme) I didnt know that lyme was holding onto it as much as it seems to be. So yes......Dr. K. has been saying it for years.....and it really rings true for me. They are not seperate issues by any means. It puts things into perspective thats...
  7. Rachel--24
    Yeah....and I cant wait for you to start seeing the "new" ones. Dont forget that surgery is on TUESDAY.
  8. Rachel--24
    Carla....woohoo!!! I'm glad you are feeling better....its very exciting. If my new doctor has a hard time opening things up maybe this will be my next step. I'm curious about OSR (as far as giving the body energy so that it can do more on its own).....I know Scott's been taking it but you need a Dr. to get it. He saw Dr. P. at a conference...
  9. Rachel--24
    Wow...thanks for posting LittleLymie!! I'm so excited that you are working with the same doctors!! I can definately talk about this all day too. Your post was encouraging to me. I feel very comfortable with Dr. P.....and I know that I will stick with him. I know when I've found a good thing. He and Dr. T. make a very good team. She was very...

    Andrea...did you say WOW? Yes...it is good to have everything coming together. I doubt I'll need any furthur testing as far as getting to the root of the problem.....now its all about how to get IN?? I stayed home from work today so that I can sort of "process" everything. "M" just gave be a big "pep talk"......I was feeling pretty bummed out...
  11. Rachel--24
    Just got back from the appt. with Dr. T. I figured that Lyme and all the rest is gonna show up because of the work I've already done with Anna....the testing is very similar. So yeah....the results were also similar. I could probably go back to my post from my first screening with Anna.....and much of it would be the same as tonight's experience...
  12. Rachel--24
    Thanks April and everyone else. I'm pretty much over the moon today. I dont know if its good for me to be getting this excited but I just feel really good about everything right now. I wanted to get to the root of the problem and I just feel that this would have to be the root...I dont know that it can get any deeper than that (in terms of layers...
  13. Rachel--24
    The 22nd is finally here!!! I think whatever info. she can provide today will be helpful but already having something in the bloodwork is a huge thing......so it doesnt seem like this appt is as crucial as it seemed before. The main thing he was wanting to know is what is causing me not to detox...Lyme, methylation or virus? I think we will still...
  14. Rachel--24
    Kassandra, I couldnt be happier for you! You are making ALOT of progress in a short time. Its pretty amazing how much healing you've accomplished by dealing with that stuff. I hope that very soon you will be off of the abx and doing everything you have been wanting to do. I've noticed how much the health stuff gets put on the backburner when I'm...
  15. Rachel--24
    Paula, I'm worried about this too. It just seems that you are dealing with constant exposure. I wonder how you would feel if you were away from your house for awhile?? I think the mold issue in your home might be much bigger than you had originally thought....or like April said....the spores were released and are contaminating other areas of the house...

    A quick update with new exciting development. So I called the nurses yesterday to ask about the urine test. She said it should have cost $80 because I should have overnighted it. They never told me that it had to be overnighted...just that it would cost $80 to ship it. I guess I should have known by the outrageous cost....so my bad for thinking...
  17. Rachel--24
    No, I havent scheduled it yet because I dont know how long until we get the results of the urine test. Thats another thing I'm going to ask the nurses about tomorrow.
  18. Rachel--24
    Ok.....I think by the time I see Dr. P. I will have hundreds of questions. My mind is very busy the last couple days. Poor guy...lucky for him he only has to see me for an hour. In other news...I walked straight into a door frame this morning. It was full-on contact....major ouchness. I thought I might end up with a black eye but I guess...
  19. Rachel--24
    This page has some info. on mycoplasma testing... Open Original Shared Link Its a common infection found in certain conditions in which the immune system is compromised.....its a common co-infection of Lyme.
  20. Rachel--24
    Already?? Me and my friend were saying it seems like its taken a whole freakin year for this appt. to get here. I guess neither of us are very patient. Now I just have to find out where her office is before Wednesday. You think I could have done this sometime in the past YEAR that I've been waiting to see her...but nooooooo.....of course...
  21. Rachel--24
    Yes.....this is a very common symptom of chronic Lyme. Needtobebetter, Is the drooping only on one side of your face or both? Bells's Palsy is a symptom of Lyme.....and typically there is drooping on one side of the face and usually the eyes are affected (drooping/sagging eyelid). Early on, when I first got sick my face seemed kind of...

    I dont know because I'm not in the UK....but I had no idea we had "integrative" doctors here in the US until I was referred to one. I didnt know what an integrative doctor was.....and all I knew of "alternative" stuff was that I figured they used herbs and "potions"....it wasnt something I'd ever really looked into. I was doing my own research online...

    My personal opinion is that candida doesnt become a chronic situation unless something else is going on that is allowing for that to happen. Basically, if you truelly do have an overgrowth of candida which doesnt go away...then you would most likely have an underlying problem that you would need to address in order to get the yeast situation under control...

    I dont know about improperly cooked meat. I havent heard of it being transmitted in that way but it doesnt mean its not possible. The bacteria has been found in unpasteurized milk....but its not certain whether or not a person can be infected in this way. The disease can be transmitted by insects other than ticks.....such as biting flies, fleas and mosquitos...
  25. Rachel--24
    HAHA.....I guess that brief moment in time has passed. yeah....lots of test results coming in soon. Well we dont know about my urine sample....that one might be a long way away. Yes....at least voodoo lady results are immediate. I will know everything she finds on Wednesday......woo-hoo!
