    Ummm...I think I protested about floppy hats. Ok..well if I didnt...I am now! I definately wanna be wearing a green baseball hat like Charlie. I would like to trade in my floppy hat now....I assure you its still brand new..never been worn.

    Carla, I've posted my thoughts about the Lyme/Autism lots of times. In no way do I think that Lyme *causes* Autism...nor do I think that vaccinations *cause* Autism. Its not just one thing causing it....its a combination of genetics, environmental triggers, heavy metals, etc. Lyme is just one piece of the puzzle. I've read the link you posted before...

    I would be very concerned given the fact that Autism rates are souring across the nation and these kids are testing positive for Lyme. Its a gamble...some might be willing to take that risk....I would not want to gamble with a new life. Some of these babies obviously cant cope with the toxic overload while others may fare better. Genetics are definately...

    Yeah...I just wasnt too jazzed up about doing foods but I was fine once we started talking about it. I'm happy that I'm seeing my Dr. today...hopefully I'll be able to report good news about starting treatment.

    I agree. I dont have Celiac but have been gluten-free for 2 years now. I'm gluten intolerant (hopefully temporarily) due to other health problems. It matters not how or why we came to be on this diet. I dont think the gluten-free diet is limited to only those who are sick, disabled, or diagnosed Celiac. It can be a lifestyle choice and I dont see anything...

    I know it definately sucks when we're sick and wanting to have kids. Trust me I know. The thing I was most concerned about is if you did have Lyme and never got tested but went ahead with trying to conceive....the baby would more than likely be born with Lyme. It could be Lyme or whatever else might be making you sick that is also causing your infertility...

    Yeah...lots of people test negative. Its all about how the Dr. interprets the results since there is no test to completely rule out Lyme. It depends on the state of your immune system and whether or not its actively producing antibodies at the time of testing. Actually the people who are MOST sick from Lyme dont test positive. Its because their immune...

    Carla...hope you had a nice flight. Dont worry about catching up.....we've been very chatty.

    Hi Bev!! Yeah..it is very strange going back to my first post on the thread. So much has changed since then....I think I've learned ALOT since then. I did eat a brownie...well half...because my friend snatched it from me before I could finish it off. I wouldnt say I could eat it w/out problems...but I survived the two bites. That was...

    So Charlie...looking at your signature...you might be gluten intolerant and not Celiac?? You might be like me....where if I detox and treat the infections I'll be utilizing my enzymes again...hence no longer gluten intolerant??? I dont have Celiac genes. The Dr.'s say all these intolerances will go away after treatment. Is that a possibility for...

    Charlie, I'm not sure if you know how you feel about everything yet. Are you relieved?? I think most of us were relieved to finally be getting answers. I know Carla was "over the moon" when she got her positive results back. Welcome to the Lyme Clan. Hey Rinne.....I guess we cant be the "Laughing Lyme Ladies" anymore...Charlie has joined...

    Ok...I have catching up to do. But first.....Wow Andrea...Gorgeous picture....I still have to go back and see if there are any new ones posted. I love coming on here and getting to see all my buddies in their youth...not that we arent still youthful...cuz we are ....but you know...Santa pics, school pics, prom pics....its totally FUN. So...

    I think its a Catholic School thing ...it sorta does that to you...I was always getting into trouble when I was in school.
  14. Rachel--24
    I have BioSET tonight so I'll ask Denise about the whole sauna incident. Anna wont be there...I think she went out of town. Actually I think she may have went to learn about the laser stuff from Dr. Cowden in Arizona. She said she was going for that...so hopefully I'll learn more about LED when she gets back. I just dont know for sure if it...

    Donna...if I get the C D-57 done tomorrow I should be getting the results back around the same time as you. It will be interesting to compare. I would be so excited if my numbers arent too low!! I remember Scott telling me he wanted to see what my numbers were....he was betting they'd be really low. Oh what lab did Dr. S. use for the test??...

    Hi....I dont know alot about coagulation myself however on the Lyme Disease board it is mentioned quite a bit. I read that board and many people have this same problem. I used to bruise very easily but I've improved alot and this doesnt seem to be an issue anymore. They say you can tell if this is a problem if your blood is very thick and dark...rather...
  17. Rachel--24
    Oh yeah...guess what guys....I'm ice cream free now. Hence the sudden splurge on other stuff. I'm not doing the sugar thing anymore...I gotta get the yeast under control so I can detox better.
  18. Rachel--24
    Jin...thats funny about your mom. She probably thinks you've lost your mind! I'm racheling stuff left and right...last night it was chips...tonight it was sunflower seeds. WOOHOO...I'm totally excited about the sunflower seeds not affecting me too much. Pretty much all the seeds and nuts I've tried have been too moldy for me. These seem ok though...
  19. Rachel--24
    Hi Judy!!! Where's your pic??
  20. Rachel--24
    Jin...the more I'm seeing the pic of you Great Grand Mother...the more I do see you in her.
  21. Rachel--24
    Laura...beautiful pic. I think you look just as beautiful now...even with all you're going through. You always look radiant in your pics. Andrea...I like this new pic too. Everyone looks good in their school pics....I dunno what happened with my school pics but they are HEINOUS. Donna...this is my favorite pic of you so far!! Its sooo cute...
  22. Rachel--24
    Jin, Its hard for me to compare her to you since I've only seen the two pics of you and they werent profile pics. Anyways....I take your word for it that if I saw you sideways you'd look just like your great grand mother. Wow...33 is so young to die. Tragic. Its nice that you've learned some things about her. I dont know much about most of...
  23. Rachel--24
    Laura....me too...I'm having fun looking at everyones cute pics!! My mom is really enjoying it too. Shes only posted a few times but she "knows" all of the Rachelvillians....even if you guys dont know her. I did see pics of your nieces before......they are very cute!
  24. Rachel--24
    Jin....I'm sorry all of that happened to you. Emotional issues can be damaging to our health just as much as the physical stuff...have you ever thought of talking to someone about it....to sort of let it all out?? It could be helpful. I've went to a counselor a couple times....just to let stuff out...it was just relationship stresses but it toatlly...
  25. Rachel--24
    Even though I'm laughing I can totally sympathize....if my mom had sprayed my hair into a beehive.....I dunno....it might be unforgiveable.
