Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 7.5 months off the abx, and still holding steady. Also: I've lost 25 of the 60 pounds I gained during my decade in bed! I'm walking half an hour a day now, and starting to lift weights. Sara On Jan 29, 2011, at 11:06 30PM, Donk wrote: > Thank you for this info! We don't hear enough about the success > stories.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks for this, . I agree, if you do research on the web or read support group posts it is very disheartening b/c it seems like no one gets better, or it is a terrible struggle etc. And I don't doubt that is true for some people. But I think generally, people who are well drop out of these groups so you don't hear their stories. It helped me to talk to a friend in our town who had symptoms for years -- all neuro -- like she couldn't remember how to get home from her kids school. She tried oral antibiotics for three years with relapses, went on IV rocephin for 7 months (in conjunction w/other antibiotics) and now three years later she's fine and hasn't had a relapse. Also, in the midst of all the bad stories I asked my doctor if anyone gets better on IV antibiotics. He said everybody improves. Hold on to the stories of getting better!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 That's great to hear, Don.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 My mom is blind from lyme disease and I was wondering if anyone else knew of anyone who may be blind also. The only treatments she has had is IV ABX and PO ABX. Can anyone recommend some alternative treatments. thanks On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 10:36 AM, mac <slimpoint@...> wrote: > > > That's great to hear, Don.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm not personally blind but I know other people at the doctor's I go to who have had this problem. We're all on combinations of zithromax and rocephrin by IV and mepron and flagyl/tinamax orally. They've been there longer than I have (I've been there a couple months now and they've been there close to a year) and they've said that treatments been the only thing that's helped while stopping has made the symptoms come back immediately. Jen > > > That's great to hear, Don.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 : I am sorry to hear about your mother. As far as other treatments, have you considered going to a nutritionist or herbalist. I know every case of lyme is different, with me the oral antibiotics did not work. I also know that it can be hit or miss and the doctors are usually trying what has worked for others, but if you don't see improvement, or are not satisfied w/ you mother's care, go else where. Do you go to a Lyme Doctor, I think that makes a huge difference also, I think they are more inclined to try different approaches where as a regular physician just does what he is told to clinically do. I wish you the best in search to get your mother well. I look forward to hear good things. Be well. ~DonnaLee ________________________________ From: nothing. <stupidsoygrrrl@...> Sent: Thu, February 3, 2011 11:36:47 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Recovering  I'm not personally blind but I know other people at the doctor's I go to who have had this problem.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 , my lyme doctor told me that his 14 year old daughter lost her site for several months. She did recover after abx therapy. So sorry for what she and you are going through. Is she with a lyme speicalist? > > > > For those of you who are discouraged/and or frightened about your LD > > symptoms, I have three acquaintances who were totally paralyzed from the > > neck down (one for over two years) and are doing great now, completely > > recovered.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 , We must go to the same LLMD! Or, how coincidental is it that *my* Lyme doctor's 14 year old daughter lost her sight due to Lyme! By the way, she made a complete recovery.
