    thanks for all the advice... I'll probably post something on lymenet over the weekend... I've read a lot of info there recently, just haven't posted yet... I'm not really doing anything to detox... aside from maybe something like exercise/physical activity, which I'd be inclined to think would aid in detoxing stuff out of your body... but this is one thing...

    you're referring to a round of doxy you had a couple years ago and not ABX you took when you started treating lyme, right? I'm thinking along the same lines as the most likely possibility... not that my lyme was entirely asymptomatic and dormant as I feel it's likely connected to my neuro and some physical problems, but that the rxn I'm having is probably...

    quick question for you lyme experts... I started minocyline on Saturday and took 2 each day on Saturday and Sunday... stopped it on the advice of my dr. on monday due to the bad rxn I was having... my dr. said to start it back up at half the dosage after the symptoms subside... 5 days later, I'm still having the symptoms, less severe than on Sunday night...

    don't know if this is the post you're referring to, but I think it might be: Open Original Shared Link halfway down the page (her post at Feb 18 2007, 01:01 AM) is info on mercury toxicity from a lecture by Klinghardt

    are there certain ABX that exclusively are used for treating specific spirochete infections or are some just more effective for certain infections than for others? from your post, it looks like the zithromax would be intended for the babs but is it not doing anything against lyme or any other possible co-infections? I also have to read up on the salt...

    well, I guess I either herxed or had an adverse rxn to the minocycline I started on Saturday... I felt fine Saturday (surprisingly better than I would have thought) and was okay through most of Sunday... then Sunday evening I pretty much all of a sudden felt like I had very little balance, and I'm very slowly regaining it today... my body feels very heavy...

    when I told my nutritionist that I had tested positive for lyme, her first response was surprise due to my lack of joint problems.. I guess the arthritic/joint pain symptoms may be seen as more indicative of lyme... I do have muscle pain in my legs and back pain that varies and generally isn't that bothersome as long as I don't overdo things like basketball...

    I think norway and germany have adopted the Codex standards and canada has implemented some things that fall in line... apparently in Canada, a number of supplements like melatonin, dhea, and pau d'arco are either banned or heavily restricted and regulated... from what I've read, it's infinitely worse in places like norway where I think prescriptions are...

    I never had a rash either, don't even remember getting bit by a tick (aside from 15 years ago when I was a kid)... I was tested for lyme with the standard ELISA screening test in both 2002 and 2006 and both tests came back negative... I tested positive on the IGM WB from Igenex last month and have likely had lyme for years... lyme can cause a lot of neurological...

    I think you're right on the Immunoscience testing that it uses saliva... I'm almost positive it was a saliva test (referred to as a SIGA test if I'm not mistaken) that I had done through them for soy, egg, dairy, and gluten... if you're going to do a food intolerance test for a large amount of foods, I got testing done with Immunolabs (based in Florida...

    I don't know what that is, but it doesn't sound like floaters to me... floaters, at least as far as I'm familiar with them, don't move unless your eyes move... they're basically specks in your vision, and if you look left, the floater goes left with your eye... that's why a number of us think we see things in our peripheral vision and then look over to have...
  12. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    Do you know what manuf. makes the minocyline you're taking? Watson is the one I'll probably end up taking but I know there's a few different companies making it.. I wouldn't really be concerned at all about its gluten-free status after looking through the active and inactive ingredients, but the pharmacist on the phone from the company went over the...

    quick questions, I'm at work and want to fill my prescription if possible tonight... for those of you taking prescriptions for lyme or anything else, do you worry about it having corn, artificial colors, etc. I can't say for sure that I'm reactive to these but haven't had them at all for months... I keep my diet extremely strict and don't take OTC meds...

    you know, I was gonna ask if your rabbit's name was picked cause of Bo Jackson since you live in Cali, where he played for the raiders... I would have picked an Eagles player if it was my choice but my family got a couple rabbits from some friends and Bo was picked for one of them due to Bo Jackson... that would be an even odder coincidence if that was the...
  15. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    I actually used to have a rabbit named Bo as well when I was a kid... odd coincidence.. not exactly a typical name for a rabbit yeah, I've read info about a number of vision problems associated with lyme... unfortunately I do have floaters and they've gotten worse.. I think I've had floaters for at least a number of years but I can't say when...

    I've been taking probiotics for a while, off and on the past 15 months and daily this year... I've also taken antifungals, but as I stated earlier, I typically don't react well to them.. FMLA is unpaid leave... maybe her job has some additional provisions... FMLA simply provides a person with protection against punishment or losing one's job...

    yeah, my CD57 result was the exact bottom of the reference range... my number was 60... I think the reference range is 60-300... and the information rachel posted about typical #s, the analogy comparing lyme and CD57 to the suppression of certain cells from HIV infections, the gaging of a person's progress against lyme infection and chances of relapsing...
  18. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    is Ultra Flora the Metagenics one? sounds familiar... and Theralac is different than Threelac, right? I remember you talking about the VSL one a couple months ago... it's a pretty strong probiotic if I remember right... I'm probably gonna just take 2 different Klaire probiotics daily to start with as I seem to react fine to them and I'm not sure I want...
  19. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    I saw that you were getting lyme testing done as well... hope it gives you some answers... looks like the CD57 test is pretty common now... I think it's a "newer" test though I don't know how new... I know it's done through labcorp, which makes it easy to get it covered through insurance, at least for Horizon
  20. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    I think I might have mentioned it at one point... still trying to get everything set up and I'm trying to get as much done as I can before I start antibiotics next week... the thought of that never crossed my mind... interesting from a scientific standpoint if lyme can be transferred through sex.. no, I didn't mean to imply...
  21. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    alright, a few more general questions regarding lyme... I'll probably follow up on some of this with my LLMD if I get a chance but it's always good to see what others are doing as well: 1.) It's fine to take an antifungal at the same time as taking antibiotics for lyme, right? I'd be surprised if it wasn't, just want to make sure... I'm considering taking...

    I'm as symptomatically hypoglycemic as just about anybody, and when I was testing myself with a bg monitor a few years ago, I didn't get any results that really stood out from the norm... lowest I tested was 68 and highest was 120, I was mostly in the 70s, which is normal anyway... my endo was thoroughly confused as my numbers came up within range yet I had...
  23. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    I haven't had a chance to read the board the past week or 2 (just moved into a new apartment over the weekend and got cable and internet installed this morning)... I have a couple quick questions regarding lyme disease... I plan on somewhat-begrudgingly starting antibiotics within the next week... I'm hopeful to see some positive results but really don't...

    my understanding of this specific document is that it doesn't have any legislative power and is only moreso a formulated viewpoint for the FDA in relation to supplements... basically, it's just proposing how the FDA should think these products should be regulated but it has no power in itself... when I first saw this, I definitely didn't like what I saw but...
  25. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    a number of companies have similar features... Eden organic has a list of all their products and what allergens they're free of (from a number of common allergens) and I think Pam's does as well but I'm not positive... probably others too... they're not quite databases like wellshire's site but the lists have the same info... I agree about Wellshire's...
