Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I am one heck of alot better than I was before 7 months of oral doxy, tini, cefuroxime axetil, and antibabesials. I am doing intensive summer organic chem, about 40h a week of work. In February I often felt like it was preposterous for me to be trying to go to school part time, now it is not difficult to go full- time (so far). The foundation of my semi-recovery has been antimicrobials. But serious depression/malaise remained, and I began antidepressants, thus making it hard to see whether, say, tini was especially effective. Summer weather could also be a huge contributor. I still feel bad many days, but I feel completely fine much of the time recently, normal or so close that it doesnt matter much, at least within the parameters of my tame lifestyle. Other days I am sick; occasionally I cannot read any chemistry whatsoever because of ADD. My lymph swellings have never changed at all. I have failed both amitriptyline and mirtazapine. They did alot for malaise and depression (esp mirtaz) but both ended up intolerable. The sedation got worse and worse, causing depression/fatigue/ADD. I am going to try something non-antihistamine. I dont have many sleeping problems anymore. I actually ride my bike around town, and there are some hills. But on worse days it is intolerably tiring even when walking feels totally normal. On better days its a blast. I was late somewhere today and actually jogged for about 90 seconds. Sometimes I feel very whupped at the end of a day of many errands, as I did long ago when I had a job once chainsawing 8 hours a day. But it doesnt feel awful. I actually even climbed a tree the other day, but realized I was feeling a little spaced out up there which almost caused me to have a panic attack. Climbing was pretty intimidating too. In the old wild man days I wouldnt have thought twice about climbing that tree drunk, weak with hunger, or after having stayed up working for 2 days. Whether I can find an AD I can stay on, keep improving, weather the winter, or be stable for years, we shall see. But before treatment I used to be consistently suicidal and house-ridden, and had to lie down or slouch like hell much of the time, minus a few weeks of spontaneous improvement during which I felt sorta OK. Last November when I stood in line for an hour to vote I was very exhausted, and that was totally typical. I'm pretty glad I met up with yall last September.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks, if it does not go away soon I will have it looked at. As of today, it seems to be diminishing in size. dass baby_grand <bobluhrs@...> wrote: Thanks for report, dasting! this is excellent blow by blow that would give someone else a sense of expectation and confidence. I'd have it looked at by a doc/nurse pract, whoever. It's good to have the info if the thing is one thing or another. There's dozens of skin things that go on, so having a label for it would help My own dead skin lump on arm started to itch, I picked until it bled then zilled it, the brown lump disappeared, turned pink, new skin formed, and I have to really look to even find it. Yours could be different. Mine was looked at by two med pro's, one said don't worry about it, the other offered to remove it with liquid nitrogen. brrr. bG > > REPORT > > Sudden growth of a small lump on finger > > No medical treatment > > > REPORT > > Sudden growth of a small lump on finger > > No medical treatment > > REPORT > > Sudden growth of a small lump on finger > > No medical treatment > > Used Godzilla, 6 volt device, wet electrodes for 6 days > > 1 tx per day 20 min., switched electrodes at 10 min. > > Also used zilla on wrist 1 tx.per day 30 min, switched electrodes at > 15 min. > > Lump continued to grow, no infection > > Center of lump sank > > Lump sore and hard, tissue smooth. > > Removed dead skin in center of lump on the 7th day > > Will not treat for a few days and obsreve > > Any idea why the skin in the center died and sank? > > dass > The group's main page has a menu to the left, with photos of Godzilla devices and info.
