    I experienced those same symptoms. Chills, nightsweats, brainfog, joint pain, confusion, etc. I havent experienced the symptoms as severely as I used to....mainly because I'm extremely careful of what I eat. I dont eat processed foods (except one kind of ice cream) and I only eat organic foods. My list of foods that dont cause too much grief is very...

    I will have to post about my BioSET appt. tomorrow.....I'm tired. Guess what...I saw Bioset lady #3 tonight. I think she is a Dr....she introduced herself as one anyways. Carla....maybe I really was going into denial about the Lyme this time. The Bioset lady was kind of looking at me like this. She was asking me if I'd been diagnosed...

    Hi Bev!! That is the cutest puppy ever!! OMG...I want to *snuggle* him like crazy. I'm glad you are feeling better....thats GREAT news!! Glad you're getting some answers....hopefully you will continue to feel better and better.

    Hi Angst! Sorry you are going through so much. I started getting sick at 31...I felt the same way. I'm too young for this! OMG....we have made soooo many discoveries! We've talked about many many different things....I've tried just about every elimination diet there is and learned alot about the different chemicals in foods. We taked...

    The poll feature was already here....but you're right Michelle....noone has been using it lately. I always enjoyed the polls. How come I have to log in everytime I come back on?? I never had to do this before....I was always logged in and it stayed that way. Now I have to go through the process each time I come to the board. Anyone else experiencing...

    I didnt have a thread about flouride but it does bother me...I havent used toothpaste with flouride for a couple of yesrs now. I couldnt be certain it was the flouride I was reacting to...but its been showing up in the Bioset tests....so I guess it really is a problem. I also avoid it because of my thyroid. I dont think I've ever seen that ingredient...

    How can I go back and review old threads or posts?? For example if I wanted to locate info. from an older thread I had....I could go into my topics or my posts and find all the older threads or posts. Now I can only view my most recent?? Is there an easier way to go about this or do I have to do a search to bring up older topics??? EDIT: Nevermind...
  9. Rachel--24
    What do you mean?? Havent you talked to me on the phone? Yeah....its the same when I type. But what does this feature actually do??? Does it have a purpose?? Is it cuz we all have brain-fog and cant remember who our friends are???

    Hi Sarah....welcome to the board. To answer your question if you test positive the next step would be the gluten-free diet....which you are already on. Kaiser wont do much for you. They sent me to their dietician who knew next to nothing about Celiac and was frantically trying to print stuff off the computer. At that point I'd already spent time...

    I'm having problems editing my posts....its just not working for me?? Anyone else?? When I hit "complete edit" nothing happens. It takes me back to the thread but my post is not edited and it actually still has my text box for editing on the thread?? Why is this happening? If I hit "cancel edit" it will return to normal...but of course nothing...

    Ok....the rest of my Bioset appt. My mom went with me and got to meet my fav. Bioset lady. My mom asked her what is happening in the treatment room when I'm lying there with the "bad" stuff. The lady went into full scientifness about Bioset. I was having brainfog but tried to concentrate really hard....it was all very interesting but it didnt quite...

    Susan...YAY...I'm glad they finally arrived. Yeah....you can thank my mom for that. I had it ready to go weeks ago.....but...then there was the mailbox to deal with. I was paying my bills in this same timely fashion.

    Actually its not really common to feel more Hypo when increasing your dose....its not logical and noone on the thyroid board seemed to be experiencing the same problems. Also my T3 was close to 400 (referance range 70-200)....My TSH was very low and showing very Hyper. I was having heart palps and shaky hands but was still cold with all the same symptoms...
  15. Rachel--24
    Nope....it didnt ask me anything. It doesnt want me to have friends. Maybe this new feature was created by my ex??? Carla, when I was healthy I could drink alcohol all night long and never woke up with a hangover. Now...half of a drink will mess me up pretty good for a few days.
  16. Rachel--24
    Why is the thread too wide now??? All the pages are too wide now.....is it just me???
  17. Rachel--24
    Ummm...why would I want to be anything other than what I am.....which is female?? Should I choose this....in case people cant tell by my name and my pic??? Oh....and nobody has pm'd me wanting to be friends yet.
  18. Rachel--24
    And I knew this too!!! See......that darned word mixes me up all the time. Sometimes I spell it...Diarreah and other times its diarrhea and then I forget which one is correct. Sooo much easier (and less embarrasing) for everyone to just use "d".
  19. Rachel--24
    Patti....I did some reading about mycotoxins and molds (is anyone surprised? )....I actually thought of you when I was reading some of this stuff. I know alot of our food intolerances are similar. I'm not too excited about any of this because I absolutely HATE candida. I dont know why.....and I know its not as serious as Lyme but I hate candida much...
  20. Rachel--24
    Patti...you dont have to hit "next".....theres a little drop down for smileys right above the text box...it actually makes it easier.....except they are shuffled around......not good for my brain. I mostly function from habit.....this messes me up. About the friends thing...what does it do??? Also why are there little "people" above our...
  21. Rachel--24
    My guess is that if you're not feeling well and having symptoms then there is probably something going on...the low body temp. could be an idication of that. I know people live with annoying symptoms everyday...people take diferent meds for different things. Stuff for sinus headaches, stuff for diarreah (Patti...thats how you spell it....it took me forever...
  22. Rachel--24
    Hi Susie.... No....my home doesnt have mold. I shuffle between two houses and my symptoms dont change according to where I stay. Dont have houseplants either....I'm not good with plants....kill them fairly quickly. I have Candida....the Candida produces mycotoxins that are poison to our bodies. My body isnt detoxing too well and these toxins...

    Julie...I dont know much about the HHV-6 but my Dr. said that its a past infection....not active. Did you test positive for HHV-6? I'm gonna ask my Dr. to explain it more at my next appt. I'll also ask the Bioset lady to check into it if she can. I'm not gonna worry about it too much though....I dont really think its causing my illness but I'm gonna...

    I can do saunas....I used to do them everyday....sometimes twice a day. I loved it. I'm gonna start going again. I had to find my membership card last weekend. I have it now. I'm not gonna mess with the salt though. The Igenix guy had said that my Dr. isnt as comfortable with antibiotics as the other Dr. is. I know for sure the other Dr. is excellent...
  25. Rachel--24
    I'm starting to think that the antibiotics arent working well for people with late Lyme because at that point there are many other things bringing down the immune system as well. Sure they would work great in the beginning but the Lyme is not yet chronic and the immune system isnt totally dragged down. I think to expect to *just* take antibiotics and...
