    ROFL... You sound like you've done this before....a professional tick-detector. Thankfully, I dont hike....I'm not really seeing myself doing the whole pants in socks thing....OR the ankle high boots for that matter. No thanks...I'll stay off the trails. Are ticks always visible?? I dont get how I could have got bitten and never saw the tick...

    Lisa, Yes we love you girl....I'm glad you're not leaving us but not so happy that you're eating WORMS....eeek. No more eating worms...no more sad faces. Bev....I never heard this expression before....never heard this song either. I like it....will have to copy it.

    A random thought has just occurred.... I know I can never give up camping. Just look at my avatar....I *need* to get back to the great outdoors. Are the ticks gonna be waiting for me?? What keeps the ticks away?? Should I rub garlic on me?? Should I spray myself from head to toe with "OFF"?? I'm thinking not so good for the chemical sensitivities...

    Susan....my guess is yeah...they think we're all cheating on the diet and are therefore glutened and delusional. Unless of course they are also aliens and in that case they can relate to all this craziness and have a full understanding of the true meaning of our book title. OMG...still laughing..."How to get off your couch and onto your Jetski...

    Yes Rinne.....attractive is good.....attractive to ticks on the other hand...not so good. I would like to make myself as undesireable as possible. I hope they dont like ice cream. Someone pm'd me....she had found this thread I think from a google search on mercury and Lyme....she has tested positive for both. Shes already been on Lyme treatment...

    Julie, I was actually scheduled to take the test today but I rescheduled it for Tuesday. The thing is....the Dr. told me to bring the supplements he wants me to try adding in....he wanted the lady to test them to see if any of them are problematic. When I called to make the appt. the woman told me the same thing...to bring anything with me that I might...

    You're right Mango....there are 8 guests right now. Hello to all of the guests.

    Rinne, The reason I stumbled on the page about Rebecca Wells was because I was doing a google serach on MCS and Lyme. I found her site and saw that she too had MCS....I was feeling kind of alone as far as that symptom goes. The chemical sensitivities is what caused the Dr. to think about Lyme....he was saying that its very common with Lyme disease...

    Bev, Wow.....I never knew your whole story. You've been through it....I'm glad you found out about the legumes!! I did know about that part....but had never known about all the stuff that went on before that. So was it really the apartment? I know you never found out what it was in the apartment but are you alot better now that you're outta there? ...

    ROFLMAO!!!! OMG Susan.....you just made me bust a gut!! Thats hilarious! Omg...cant stop laughing.....gotta go back to work..
  11. Rachel--24
    Yeah Susan.....and did you seeeeee that I have a DIAGNOSIS in my signature now!! OMG....I HAVE A DIAGNOSIS!! I was waiting for this for soooooo long...
  12. Rachel--24
    OMG Robbin....reading everything you wrote brought back so much of my own feelings and fears. The most terrifying ones. I know exactly how you feel. I focus alot on diagnosis and recovery but the fear is still there....I just try to block it out. Sometimes I wake up with a jolt...almost like a little panic attack in my sleep. I know its happening because...
  13. Rachel--24
    HOLY COW....I've always wanted to know what the heck was written in my charts at Kaiser. I wonder how I can find out?? No matter what Dr. or specialist I saw....they all gave me the same exact speech and almost immediately after walking into the room. How could they all tell me I need a shrink after only spending less than 5 minutes with me?? Ummm...
  14. Rachel--24
    Wow...alot of posts today... Laura, I've had the same thoughts so many times in recent months. I dont know where I would be without the resources. Yes...I've always had the determination but how far would that take me without the resources?? There have to be a great deal of people suffering because they either dont have any access to...
  15. Rachel--24
    Rinne...I hope so. I would be happy if one person could benefit from my story but now that I know the "mystery" illness is actually Lyme....I'm thinking alot of people could benefit from having the right Dr. and the right testing. Lyme is *real*...I was beginning to wonder if anyone would ever find out what strange thing had taken over my body. I guess...
  16. Rachel--24
    Rebecca Wells.....author of Ya-Ya Sisterhood has Lyme Disease...I just looked it up. Open Original Shared Link
  17. Rachel--24
    It still hasnt sunk in all the way that I have a name that I can call this thing. The Dr. had said that I deserve these answers after waiting 4 years. Thats when he said he was gonna find out about mercury toxicity for me as well. This guy has saved my life and I'm grateful for the HN docs sending me to him. I scheduled my appt. for the electronic...

    Rinne, Is Amy Tan the author of Ya-Ya Sisterhood? She has Lyme Disesase too....I came across her story one day....maybe it is the same woman??
  19. Rachel--24
    Just popping in to say hi.....yeah a rachelville get together....that would be soooo FUN!! I'm feeling particularly "huggy" today too. HUGS for everyone!! I have no scientificness to share at the moment. Well actually I do but I'm running off to the movies now. Just got back from Whole Foods....got my ice cream and freshly popped popcorn....
  20. Rachel--24
    Yeah Rinne.....who is she?? I LOVE dancing in my house!! Well....actually I love dancing anywhere but lately its just been in my house. I'm glad you got up and went to yoga Rinne! Way to go...it always makes me feel better to get up and do something.....sometimes its really hard to force myself....but in the end its always worth it. It never...
  21. Rachel--24
    I totally agree...but if the person can tolerate organic corn on the cob or organic popcorn kernals....they probably arent reacting to corn....its the chemicals. It is more common to react to aspartame, msg and splenda than it is to react to corn. MSG and Aspartame are neurotoxins and can cause all sorts of problems. Not sure about Splenda cuz I've never...
  22. Rachel--24
    Laura, I agree with Patti In one of your first posts you wrote that you would do anything to feel better...you didnt even care what foods you had to cut out...just as long as it made you better. Thats something I must've said a million times and I know I would have never given up on something this important to me....I dont think you'll give up either...
  23. Rachel--24
    Hi Laura, Thanks for the tip about corn. We covered corn pretty extensively at the beginning of this thread because at that time I had thought I was "on to something" with the corn intolerance....it turned out not to be corn for me. Its always good to bring up these things again though because it might be the answer for someone else whos reading and...

    I tried adding in Vitamin C last night and got a reaction. I was pretty sure it was gonna happen because before I took it I noticed it had Rosehips in it. Last time I took vit. c w/ rosehips I got alot worse....it was more than a year ago though. Since it had been so long I thought I'd go ahead and try it. I reacted almost immediately....burning sensations...
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah...the tests might not pick it up but then again...you could get an even more positive result then what I had. Also Igenix has that other test they've developed....I would think you'd be getting results back from that too. My results for that test were positive. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for you Rinne.
