question

[Guest guest]

I've got issues that may or may not be birdmite or Morgellons related. My biggest issue is Lyme disease at this point and co-infections which come and go with symptoms. I've also had bouts of eosinophillic pustular folliculitis too; this went away with Doxycycline, but now appears to be coming back and from what I've read it happens mostly in people with immune dysregulation. I am immunosuppressed as a result of CFS, Fibromyalgia most likely as a result of the Lyme. I took MMS for quite some time, but had to stop that because it was causing stomach irritations along with the Doxy. MMS didn't help with the folliculitis. I'm still having sensations on my skin, biting sensations of a mild nature, mostly on feet, 1-2x per day. It isn't too bad and sure nothing like when this all started back in 2008. So many things have improved, but I need to improve my diet, like NOW. I'm still active, but not healthy. I'm limping along... I need to start taking MSM once again. I think my kidneys are weakened, probably from all the medications I've taken too. From: "Aandraya Da Silva" <aandraya@...>bird mites Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 12:39:00 PMSubject: Re: Re: Question

How are you treating the Lyme and coinfections? Until you get those infections under control your immune system won't be able to handle much. The skin symptoms you had are Bartonella, it is my belief and my LLMD's that my form of Morgellons was a combination of systemic fungal infections and Bartonella. The insects were attracted to my skin because they live on fungus. The skin sensations(it's the toxins effecting the nerves) will go away with Bartonella treatment, you need to find the right abx for the strain you have and it's trial and error. Bactrim worked for me somewhat with the Ceftin, but the Levaquin- wow! It's been 2 months on it and I have seen huge progress, though the Levaquin herx is bad for a while, really bad. But then I suddenly started feeling so much better, about 45 days into Levaquin. Do you have an LLMD that is knowledgeable in the coinfections? Have you been treated for Babesia?

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted. I was just wondering if anyone has been

placed on disability or social security after being diagnosed with A. I had a HM

in Jan. and I'm already having trouble eating/drinking again. My case was the

worst my doctor had seen and my esophagus was completely closed at the time my

HM was performed.I am just wondering if it's re-closing.I also have been having

extremely bad spasms and nothing seems to help. Hope to hear from you guys

soon..

That isn’t unusual, though I’ve never seen it personally. But yes, kefir

grains can transform to ribbons and then re-transform into clusters. Are they

very crowded in their container?

I've got some grains that are composed of skin-like peels that are folded over

like they were formed on a surface and peeled off of it. It has a leathery or

plastic look. Is that unusual?

Oops! Signed Larry, of course! I'm very good at trimming my posts and have been

doing so for over a decade. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks and I

sometimes forget to sign, especially if I'm replying quickly and briefly.

They arrived in a folded plastic bag. That must be it.

Signed Larry (belatedly).
