    Carla, The Bioset lady talked to me about how they are discovering that Lyme can be sexually transmitted and that they know that it can be transferred congenitally. I have read that they have isolated the Lyme bacteria in sperm. This is not widely accepted by the medical profession....they would say this is not possible. I dont believe all that the medical...

    Judy, I would be concerned mainly because of all the health troubles you've had. A bulls-eye means that you have gotten infected with Lyme....even if the bloodtest is negative. Thats why they ALWAYS give antibiotics when there is a bulls-eye. They "assume" that 3 weeks will do the trick but this is not ALWAYS the case and its been proven over and over again...

    How funny! My mom is the same way....and yeah...she says it never goes away. She has always said that I was left on the doorstep by "gypsies".....that I'm not really hers.....which is why we are sooo different. With me being sick the worrying is even worse for her now....she says its very stressful and it doesnt end and I should NEVER have kids. She says...

    Carla.......my Mom would always throw her arm across me in the car.....as if I would fly through the window everytime she put on the brakes. I also cant ever leave the house without her coming to the door and telling me this...."Rachel....make sure you drive SLOW and careful." Every single time I walk out the door....I can expect to hear this.

    I'm getting more and more upset about all this. Not to mention worried as heck. I'm wondering if my Dr. seems so "grave" about me having Lyme because of all these restrictions and denials about its existence. He seemed very frusterated about the whole thing. He asked me how I felt about what is going on....I said I felt angry. He said "Good....you should...

    Woah...Carla, thats really amazing that this is going on with your friend and you're just getting tested yourself. I had read that at least 50% of chronic illnesses are caused by undiagnosed Lyme. I just read a story last night in that Lyme newspaper....it was an incredible story....brought tears to my eyes. I'm gonna tell the short version.... cuz...

    When I got home from Bioset last night I was all excited about the 10 commandments.....I read them all to my mom....to make sure she understands where I'm coming from. Not that everything in there hasnt been adressed already. When I was done you know what she said?? "Thou shalt be quiet now and thou shalt go pay your bills!"

    C-Diff is soooo scary. I never got sick from it even though they said I had it and treated me for it. All I know is that the GI said it was good that I was treated because it *might* have been a big problem later on. Who knows....maybe the next round of antibiotics would have been enough to set it off. What Susan said is right...it can kill people...

    Insurance is a big part of it....I believe its got alot to do with the refusal to acknowledge chronic Lyme Disease as a legitimate illness. My Dr. said the insurance companies would be under tremendous strain if Dr.'s started treating chronic Lyme conditions. It wont happen.....now they have made that new law not allowing a Dr. to treat Lyme for more than...

    Rinne, I'm in the same situation as you except that I dont have any family members with Celiac and I've been tested and dont carry a Celiac gene. I dont think I could possibly have Celiac so all I can do is wonder what would happen if the Lyme symptoms went away...would I react to gluten?? Maybe at that point I'd be able to determine how much gluten affects...
  11. Rachel--24
    I felt the same way about her last post Rinne....it really worried me. Also I read alot about C.Diff earlier in the year because they put me on antibiotics for it after they detected it in my stool. C.Diff is really scary....I never was sick from it but I read alot of pretty scary stories. So yeah...I am very very worried at this point. Yeah...
  12. Rachel--24
    Nope....dont mind at all.
  13. Rachel--24
    They have lots of stuff to read in the waiting room at my BioSet appt's.....They have this newspaper that comes out called Public Health Alert....Investigating Lyme Disease and chronic illnesses in the USA. I found this tonight....check it out. This is for all the Rachelvillians........ But You Don't LOOK sick.... 10 commandments for interacting...

    Well.....all I can say is that if he was taking Cipro for Candida....well ummm.....he ain't too bright. Cipro is an antibiotic which is the very thing that can make candida even worse! Dunno what this guy's reasoning was but I'm guessing the treatment did not help his Candida. Also I believe Cipro is one of the worst antibiotics for killing...
  15. Rachel--24
    I never heard of this drug and I'd thought I'd pretty much heard it all on the candida forums.....there's alot of crazy stuff people do to "kill" their candida You cant really "kill" all the yeast cuz of the fact that we all have it....its part of our flora or "ecology" or whatever you wanna call it. I'm in the belief that the yeast only overgrows when...

    Was she seriously gonna do this?? I think I missed that in your post?? I was wondering what you were meaning by the "voo-doo" stuff. Yeah acupuncture is widely accepted now. Believe it or not they actually offer it at Kaiser (HMO) now. It was part of the chronic pain class they stuck me in......yeah....they had it for all of the people they'd...
  17. Rachel--24
    I think the Bioset and acupuncture can definately help people. I know people with back or neck pain that the acupunture would work better than anything else....their pain would go away completely but not forever...theyd have to keep going back. I went to acupuncture last year but I didnt feel any different from it. I think if I were to just go to Bioset...

    Heck our paths could have crossed just about anywhere...we live in the same area and we both love to shop!
  19. Rachel--24
    This is true...

    Judy always types in caps....its just easier for her to see the words this way.
  21. Rachel--24
    Rinne, I was gonna go to the lab after work and see if someone could explain it to me and also about the other stuff it said about 80% specificity. It was raining and freezing and I was tired so I'll probably go tomorrow instead. I was really thinking there was a chance the Dr. was reading it wrong but now I have a better understanding of the test (Richard...

    Miamia, I took Diflucin a few times in the past. I started out on a candida diet about a year and a half ago....thats when I really started to take control of my health and make diet changes etc. Diflucin shouldnt be taken long term. I probably took it 3 seperate times but never for long periods. I only took it for like a week or 2 at the the most. Its...
  23. Rachel--24
    YAY for tears!! I cry in front of people ALL the time.....its kind of crazy...I couldnt even begin to count the amount of people (half of whom were strangers) that have seen me cry the past 4 years. Before I got sick.....totally different story....I never cried....I was like made of stone or something. OK...I have not seen Pattis new...

    Mine did NOT spread....if it did it was so small I never noticed. When I first saw it it was probably smaller than a dime...and it stayed that way. Maybe it was tiny at first and then it spread to the size it was when I noticed it...but from the time I saw it until it went away weeks later.....it did not spread. This is what I told my Dr. and he said not...
  25. Rachel--24
    Carla, I'm glad they went ahead and did the test. I totally would have burst into tears right then and there....I've been in those situations before...when the disapointment just overwhelms me and tears start pouring out. It works though!! I dunno about what she said.....seems to me you wouldnt be sick for so much of your life because of emotions...
