    There will be no more of that....my mom has taken over the bills/mail mess. I suppose thats even easier than on-line bill paying....cuz all I have to do is GET the bills from the box and GIVE them to my mom. Hopefully I can handle it. That was really sweet of you to say if you lived closer you'd set up the on-line thing for me. Its probably really...

    What do you guys think about the heater coming on and causing me symptoms?? What could it be from....dust? Does the heater make dust or other allergens fly around....or is there something else about the heater that could be bothering me??

    You can get heart palps on *any* thyroid medication....if the dose is too high. I take Armour and I dont have problems because my dose is correct. I have weak adrenals from Lyme Disease...I dont get heart palps from the adrenals being weak. Heart palps were a big problem for me when my Lyme symptoms began....they've settled down since then. Every once...

    Ok....Laura....I would have definately picked Dr. Garzon too. Good choice. The first one is an N.D....she wont help. The third one doesnt have as much experience with all of the issues "surrounding" Lyme.....so I think Dr. Garzon is the best. If you had Cancer then maybe #3 would be better....but thankfully you dont have that....so I pick #2...

    I need a break...I fear I am hogging the thread. Laura...I'm gonna go back and read your link.

    Rinne....really?? Where abouts in the Bay Area were you?? Were you somewhere where ticks might be?? I think if I *stayed* in the city I would have never been exposed to ticks but because of my love for camping and woods and all that...I think I got bit in Tahoe but its likely I've been bit more than once. As a child I spent a great deal of time...

    OMG......I *still* havent taken the time to ask Igenix about those titer results....my "positive" Lyme test. The one that came back like this 1:160. I guess I dont need to ask them now because I just read this in that guys story. So....even though he's referring to the results of his co-infectant test. I'm sure the values have the same meaning...

    Laura....this kind of jumped out at me when I read his story. To me it sounds like he has Celiac....probably triggered by the Lyme. Maybe he recovered the first time he was ill from Lyme because he had done ALOT as far as treatment and supplements to build back his immune system....even though he didnt know he had Lyme. Its alot like me....

    One thing that I noticed about the Wild Condor story is that not once did the girl mention diet. I may have missed it but it didnt seem like she made any changes in her diet. I'm thinking that the diet changes I made totally saved me from getting to the point she got to. I started out with the same severe symptoms she described....but I got better when...

    Donna, apparantly there is lots of Lyme here in CA. There was a thread on the Lyme board asking if anyone in CA had Lyme and where they got it. I was pretty shocked but ALOT of people who responded were in the Bay Area. This is the guy who appears in magazines, newspapers, he will be in the Lyme documentary...

    Donna, I still cant believe I went through that whole "eye ordeal"....I kept going to the opthamologist and the other "seeing" eye doctors.... (cant remember what they're called). They could never find anything wrong except extremeley dry eyes. I was told I would have to live like that....and use eye drops all day long. I did not believe it...I kept going...

    Good job Laura!! Patti.....CONGRATS!!
  13. Rachel--24
    OMG...at some point over the last day or so....this thread reached over 10,000 posts!!! Can you believe that??? Seeee...if Andrea were here she would have noticed. She would know exactly WHO the 10,000th poster was....and they would get an award or something. We are lost without Andrea.

    This girl could be my twin. We've shared alot of the same symptoms, same experiences trying to get better and we THINK alike. You guys all have your twins and now I found mine....the wild condor girl.
  15. Rachel--24
    OMG...I cant believe how much I read that I also experienced... I went through this pleasant experience too... Yeah...but my infectious disease guy wouldnt even test me. and yeah.....the shrink was the ONLY one to acknowledge that I was really SICK...that there was something the doctors were MISSING!! YES to this statement...
  16. Rachel--24
    OMG....you remember that HEINOUS eye pain that I have talked about in the past??? The eye pain that made me wish I was dead during the first year...the pain that was like no other pain I have ever experienced in my life?? The WildCondor girl describes it EXACTLY... OMG...that was me!!! I wore a blindfold to bed and sunglasses ALL the time...

    Georgie...heres a list of symptoms caused by Lyme. I've had alot of them....some have improved....some come and go. Some have disappeared altogether. Symptoms of Lyme Disease The Tick Bite (fewer than 50% recall a tick bite or get/see the rash) Rash at site of bite Rashes on other parts of your body Rash basically circular and spreading out...

    Julie thanks for posting the link to that amazing story!! I'm posting it again for anyone who may have missed it.. Open Original Shared Link I had read this girls story before....on a different site. She tells her story even better here! I recognized her picture and the mountain climbing stuff. I'm alot like her in that I LOVE the outdoors...

    I had to go back There was stuff I missed in the past couple days. YAY Laura....GREAT news!!! 6 Lbs. can make a BIG difference...I hope this trend continues. Also HOORAY for the pd. coming back. My frog talks to me constantly....he doesnt wait for me to be alone. Sometimes I wish he would. I think people close to me believe...

    Mia...me too...thats exactly what I think of. I actually started getting pretty sick around the holidays 2002. So yeah...each year the holidays mark yet ANOTHER year of feeling crappy and each year I am more withdrawn from the festivities. Also EVERY year....I think it will be my last year of feeling crappy. Hopefully this time its TRUE!! ...

    It didnt start out that way but has improved greatly. I have found out what was causing such distress and craziness the past week. Alot of my sensitivities trigger the same response, puffiness/swelling in my face, crying spells, swelling of the nasal passage, anger, depression and other lovely things that make me such a joy to be around. It...
  22. Rachel--24
    Laura....YES...I agree with what is written here. It goes back to the "onion layers" that Julie and I have talked about. What my Dentist had told me over 2 years ago....there would be no ONE reason for my illness. When I asked the BioSET lady if Lyme could have done all of this to me....her answer was NO. My doctor said the same thing....immune dysfunction...

    Yeah...I got some ....first I have to calm down enough to reply. I'm at home....spazing out....cant stop dancing. Be back after this song and after I read the link.

    Julie....I thought about this....you had mentioned it to me before but I guess in my head I'm always thinking....."arent I suppossed to feeling better?" I still dont understand the treatments that well...and I dont know if there are suppossed to be clouds? I guess I just thought I would walk out of the treatment and feel "better".
  25. Rachel--24
    mia, You and me both. I know I'm more sensitive when I'm not feeling good. Everything is MAGNIFIED and I get really hurt really easy. I tend to push people away instead of letting people help me. No need to apologize...I've been ranting all week....sometimes we just need to get it all out. Thats too bad about your friend not being there for...
