Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 HI Sheila, I have a friend who is suffering so badly. Knows he has lymes disease, but cannot live a normal life. His wife emailed me yesterday...they are taking out his gall bladder on Monday. They are at their wits end..he is in so much pain all the time. He may have the same thing. Can you give me the symptoms your son had? Explain more about this borreliosis? This may be the answer for him!! Thank you PattiSue Lyme Disease Hi Diane, This happened in my own family. My son has been ill for the past 27 years and he was diagnosed with Guillan Barre Syndrome. He has been unable to work most of this time and was never showed any signs that he would ever be well again. This past year, I sent him to see a private specialist because I was so upset at seeing him so ill and the NHS were failing him completely. As soon as he started reeling off his symptoms, the specialist put up his hand and said " Stop right there - I know what is the matter with you - you have borreliosis (LD) " . Right there and then, he pricked my son's finger, placed a tiny drop of blood on a slide, put it under his brand new darkfield video microscope and - walla! there were the spirochetes. It took a little longer to find out more, but he was absolutely right. He recollects being bitten by a tic on his ankle just inside his right leg on the sock line, and every so often he gets a big rash in the same place, even now, but he never knew what it was. My son had been mis-diagnosed for all those years. He is now - like myself who also tested positive for borreliosis - feeling well for the first time in 27 years. In fact, when he began treatment, he sent me an e-mail saying " Mum - this is the first day of my life! " - and it was. These past 2 months have almost been pain free and his life has turned round 100%. I went to see this same specialist because I was not getting better on the treatment for hypothyroidism, and I was also found to be suffering from Lyme Disease. We are now both taking a form of Cat's Claw - it is called Samento Extract and is very potent. It seems though that it is very difficult to get it over to the majority of chronically ill people that their illness could well have been misdiagnosed originally, or that hypothyroid peep's who are unable to get well because borrelia sp;irochetes are blocking their receptor sites. They more than likely would test positive for borreliosis. I sometimes wonder whether people have got so used to suffering that they are reluctant to go down another path. All one has to do is to type Lyme Disease into Google and take it from there. Luv - Sheila Luv - Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
