    There is no scientific evidence proving that low CD57 can *only* be caused by Lyme. They do not know this for sure. All that is really known is that people with Lyme do tend to have low CD57....which then goes up with treatment. However....this is not always the case. For some people the CD57 is right on target with how they're feeling....and it stays...

    Well....I think I'm locked out of page 1051. I read the page but cant recall what I wanted to respond to except Miamia was saying something about rice cakes feeding candida?? I did wanna say that lots of other things you're eating will also feed candida...like those chicken nuggets. If you get a particularly strong reaction to a certain food...

    I know the chlorella can cause some detox symptoms the first couple weeks taking it but the reaction I had last night was immediate...not a detox type symptom. Nausea by itself...or bowel changes could be part of detox though. Yup..charcoal is a mop up agent. So yeah...it absorbs all toxins....its also benign so not likely to cause reactions. This is what...

    Donna...I checked out your post on LN. I still have yet to post once on that board. Theres a guy on there (Groovy2).....he's been there a long time. He's actually the guy who emailed me more than 2 years ago saying that he thinks I have Lyme. Thats when I really tried to get tested but got totally shunned by the Dr.'s. He was real sick back...

    Ok...so that day when I threw up 3 times I had figured it was a combination of excess sauna and chlorella. After reading on LymeNet I can see that my Dr. was right and that I should have been starting the sauna at only 5 minutes...30 minutes is really long for someone whos really toxic. I'm sure the heat was also too much for me...I had her turn it...

    Andrea...can I just say that you are AWESOME!!

    Wow Bev....4 hours! That sucks...I'm sure you're glad its all over and now you get get some much deserved rest. I'm not really surprised with the CD57 results....I think this infection is really dragging you down. Its good you're getting the answers and are already getting prepared for treatment. Were all not that far ahead of you. ...

    I didnt know you could do that?? For my test it said you had to cut off about an inch (or was it two?? ) but it had to be the hair closest to your scalp...so basically I had to cut off a chunk of hair from my head. My hair is long so I picked a bunch that was underneath...at the back of my neck...and then only the one or two inches closest to...

    Laura....there was a time when I was living in a jungle of weeds...whats even worse is that I didnt even CARE! My yard was out of control....after I did all that work to landscape it I got too sick to actually maintain it. When I got better I had to fix it up again. My poor yard....it either gets TONS of attention...or it gets totally neglected...

    Yeah...I would do like Carla suggested..find the dentist and marry him...then you dont need to worry about dental plans at all!! Heck...I gotta stop getting together with Safeway managers. I mean...wheres that gonna get me....wheres the bonus?? ...I cant even SHOP at Safeway. Maybe I oughtta be more flirtacious while I'm picking up my 5 foods...
  11. Rachel--24
    Dang Donna....thats alot to absorb!! He ran alot of tests. I only had the Westerm Blots (and I had the results before my follow up appt.) and the vit/min deficiencies done. I would have been overwhelmed with all that in one appt. Too much for my brain to handle. I never had the mold test but I think its fairly obvious I cant tolerate mold. ...

    Susan....Noooo....you are not too old and you are not permantly broken. I think Celiac is just one piece of the puzzle for you. People sometimes forget that autoimmune disease gets triggered by *somrthing* and often times that *something* never gets truelly identified. No doubt if I were genetically susceptible I would have gotten Celiac. I remember...

    I cant eat rice cakes at all. The more candida I have....the less I can tolerate rice cakes or anything containing mold. Its definately a mold reaction I get from them. Candida is pretty out of control right now and last time I tried a rice cake (about a month ago) I reacted before I could even get half through the rice cake. Most people with a significant...

    Rinne...I'm really proud of you for your determination and obvious success with the "Rinne Bar" project. Its so exciting that you're making this dream a reality and I just love that your having a great time doing it....your posts are getting more and more upbeat with each day that passes. I just wanna say again how happy I am that you're back. Rachelville...

    Donna....OMG....I just saw your pic of your Dads yard!!! At first glance I thought it was MY yard!! Thats how my yard looks....except different trees and plants. Your dads looks really nice...I used to have the flowery ground covering along the border...just like in your pic. It got to be too much work to maintain though...there was a 2 year period...
  16. Rachel--24
    Donna....GOOD LUCK tomorrow!! I'll be anxiously waiting for your post....I hope its all good news!!
  17. Rachel--24
    Actually...I think thats most likely where "Bo" came from but its my ex who picked the name so I cant say for sure. I picked the female rabbits name....Casper..cuz she was all white. I'm not much of a football fan...its all about baseball. I'm a Giants fan. Now that I think about it..I shoulda named my rabbit "Snow"...after J.T. Snow...who was my favorite...
  18. Rachel--24
    Yeah...that is an odd name for a rabbit. How funny that we both had a Bo. and Donna...thats Bo....as in "Bo knows"...and not B.O...as in GROSS! Charlie....I guess "inactive" would be an inaccurate assessment....its still there....just not as active as my Dr. would have assumed based on my symptoms. I felt very strongly that the Lyme is...
  19. Rachel--24
    So now we have Charlie at 60 and me at 78. We're waiting on Donna and Bev's results. Carla and Laura...you guys gonna get a CD57 done?? I thought for sure Miamia had taken the CD57 earlier this year?? MiaMia....do you know what your results were?
  20. Rachel--24
    YAY!!!! I got my test results back!!!! My Dr. called me at work and he had all the test results....I had forgotten about my liver and kidney tests cuz my mind was only on the CD57. He said my liver results were perfect!!! Then he said my kidney results were perfect!! Then he said my CD57 results were ALOT better than he had...

    Somethings must be going on with the board because I cant get to the last page (1045) and I'm on my moms computer now. I just keep getting those "Gateway Timeout" error messages. I can get to the page only once. Once I've been on that page...I'm not allowed to go back to it. I only read the first few posts on that page...so I dont know what...
  22. Rachel--24
    WORK heinous that they make you do that while you're there!!!!
  23. Rachel--24
    I cant believe it!!! I do NOT have floaters!! I know we've discussed this before but yeah....maybe I dont have Lyme after all!!! Just kidding Carla. I've never had any floaters...it must be the only symptom I dont get...and I'm pretty excited that there is at least ONE symtpom that I definately DONT have. Part of me thinks...
  24. Rachel--24
    Thanks Patti....next week I'll put up a pic of my HEINOUS bourganvillia. Yeah...I was really sick at the time I was doing all that stuff but the yardwork, being outside, keeping my body temp raised seemed to help me alot. I felt alot worse when I was just sitting inside. Eventually it got to where I couldnt do much of anything and I stopped doing...
  25. Rachel--24
    LOL.....ummm...its Bo. I dont know why I made it look like he was called BO. Bo had a sister named Casper. We got them at the same time....I picked Casper and my ex picked Bo. They had to be kept in seperate cages...cuz... you know how rabbits are. Casper died when she was about 4....before we even moved to Manteca. Bo died less than a year...
