hi dori thanks ) my son is ok occasionally has knee pains and sleeps alot sometimes but he is doing good me i am hanging in there slowing getting better but i refuse to give up!!!!!!!!!!!)

[ ] Hi, I'm new...(kinda long)

Hi all,

I'm brand-spanking new to this list so I thought I'd hurl myself

in with both feet and introduce myself. Hope you don't mind

if it's a bit long.

My name is Dori, and I was diagnosed with Lyme three days

ago. Unlike most of the stories I've been reading on the net,

I didn't have to wait very long for a diagnosis -- the doctor took

one (rather horrified) glance at the EM rash on my butt and said,

"that's Lyme."

I had a hard time believing him, simply because he only looked

at the rash for about 5 seconds and never did any tests. That and

I never saw the damn tick. And also because for some reason, I

never before had a tick bite that was itchy -- and this foul thing on my

body was *torturing* me, both with itchiness and soreness. Even

after he asked me about other symptoms (I have a very stiff

neck, an ongoing headache, and strange little muscle twitches for

three or four days, but thought I was "sleeping funny"), I still didn't

take him seriously, or even consider the idea of LD. It wasn't

until I got home that night and started looking at the photos of

other people's EM rashes on the internet that I realized, hey, this

could actually be pretty serious. The ironic thing is, I've lived in

New Jersey all my 30 years, and for the last ten of them I've been

obsessed with preventing ticks on my body. We get it drilled into

our heads from a young age around here. And yet, even when I

saw the rash, it never occurred to me it might be Lyme.

Anyway...so there I was. I went into the "quick-care" clinic at the

emergency room of my local hospital on Thursday because I had

what I thought was an infected mosquito bite. The doctor gives me

the five-second diagnosis of LD and sends me home with a

prescription for 21 days of doxy and instructions to have a Lyme

titre done in six weeks. Oh, and call your family doctor, he says---

you'll want him to monitor your treatment. That's it.

So of course, I have a gazillion questions. How quickly I went from

being someone who paid little attention to Lyme in the papers or

on TV, to someone who now needs to know everything I can find out.

But before I start throwing out all my questions, I have just one....

how is that that one tiny little creature can have the power to

completely interrupt my life???

Looking forward to talking with you all.

Hi : I am knew to this board and I checked out the website you sent to

Tangerine. I am wondering if you have tried the products referred to on this

site? If so would you share your experience. I am also wondering if any women

out there have had in addition to candida, problems with endometriosis or any

other reproductive organs. Thanks ~ Kriby

[Guest guest]

Hi , and thanks for the support.

I'm no expert on this disease (yet), but I did read in one of

the medical websites that the bacteria definitely can be

transferred to a baby in utero. I'm so sorry to hear that

was the case for you and your son! How are both of you

doing now?

[Guest guest]

,

Thank you for responding. I am not sure what I have. I know I have attacks, I know the first one changed my LDH permanently. I know that my SPEP test shows an acute inflammatory response during these attacks and I know that this last attack made my feet, ankles and face retain fluid. The face fluid causes me problems sleeping because my nostrils become inflamed and close off my nose. If I get up, this fluid will disperse within 20 min. Now I sleep sitting up.

Hopefully, I can find some answers on the Internet as my doctors won't give me any info.

Again, thanks .

later,

I just started today with Zyme Prime.......1/2 capsule with every meal (not

snacks) for my 22 month old. He's been GFCF for 3 months now. Devin

recommended this dosage and this enzyme to start with first since he was on

the diet.

Just curious, can I " save " the other 1/2 of the capsule (powder) or do I just

throw it away? I've put the 1/2 he's getting into his sippy cup and making

sure it dissolves completely before he drinks it. So far so good as far as

him getting it all.

When should I work up to 1 full capsule?

Thanks.

Anne

[Guest guest]

Anne,

I just stick the two parts of the capsule back together. You'll get

good at it after awhile! When first opening a capsule, twist it

slowly so you can control how much powder comes out; you may have to

squeeze out a little extra to make a half dose. I never throw away

left-overs! I usually put them in a ziploc baggie labled " Zyme Prime

1/2 capsules " , or I just toss them back in the original bottle and

make sure to look at the capsules carefully when I take them out so I

don't assume a capsule has a full dose. You could also save an empty

bottle and tear off the label and re-label it " 1/2 capsules " .

I think it's just intuition on when to up the dose, but a guideline

could be that if the behavior is fine and stools are not worsened (no

added diarrhea), then you can try going to a full dose, but that's

just my opinion. Mother's intuition is best!

Be sure to post how your son does!

I don't know what the intent was in this case, it may not have been

with any malice, don't really know. I do believe there was malice by

some of the other people based on the " information " given and the

method, but that is my opinion.

Hi : I wish I could say that I eat fatty foods, but honestly other than an occasional Ice cream bar I dont. I eat lots of veggies, salad, some fruit, and a lot of chicken...without the skin. I found out years ago that fried food wasnt good for me cause it always gave me heartburn, so no macdonalds, or any other fast food. Well once in a while I go to the fast food fish place, but, darn it anyhow, I gave up everything else, I like my fish and sometimes I like it fried. But seriously I only do that about once a month if that. I dont drink coffee, soda, or even juice cause most of it contains orange juice and I am allergic. I am drinking alot more water too.

Have a great day and God Bless

Well being a "fatty" myself - the weight COULD impact the Hep C because usually if you're very much overweight (talking about myself here) you're eating too much high-fat, fried food, and we all know that's not good for us Hep Cats! But still the doctor's attitude sucks!

[ ] Alternative help

Hi to all: I wanted to share with all that are interested. The first doctor that was supposed to be a specialist in the field of Hep C turned out to be a jerk. He first told me that I was "Morbidly Obese," and that he wouldnt consider treatments until I went on a 500 calorie diet. Little does he know that we need all the energy we can get. I went back to my regular medical doctor and told him what he said. He was kind enough to write the RX for treatments for me. I expect to get my ID number by the end of the month. Until then, there are some things that you can do to help stay as healthy as possible. One thing I do is take Milkthistle. It really makes a difference in your liver functions. I take B12 for energy, Lecithin, and selenium. It all helps to live as normal as possible. I dont eat red meat because it is hard for the liver to break down. Added Iron is a no no and so is vitamin A. Vitamin C is hard for me to find that doesnt have oranges in it and I am allergic. Any doctor that says milkthistle doesnt work is whacky. I was diagnosed in 1994 and milkthistle has kept me from developing cirrosis. This was confirmed via biopsy. I dont drink alcohol or soda or coffee, but I love my tea. Vegetables and most fruits are good too.

I hope this helps anyone that had questions. DONT trust any online quick fixes.

Love in Christ

to love taking us to her favorite eatery for Friday Fish Fry, whenever we

Connie I just sent an e-mail to everyone and inparticular to cindy. (before I

saw an appology from )I think everyone needs to be respectful to eachother.

If someone does not like a particular someone or their posts then don't open

that particular e-mail. Connie, yes I feel you add a lot to the forum with your

experiences and help and calm others here who may have to go through something

you've experienced and you have calmed their fears. Please there would be a

great void without you. I pray for you and hope your pains and heart aches

with subside so you can feel better and have as good a day as you can. Connie

please write. Thanks Love to all Chris

Well it was shocking to know my emails are being deleted b/c they are

nonsense? Sorry you feel that way , maybe I shouldn't bother posting

anymore, I thought I was just answering others posts just like you do sometimes

trying to help others wiht my experiences, sorry you feel my posts are a

nonsense, thanks a lot. Sorry to be such a bother to you.

> I have one of my webpages set to send me new clinical trials and

that one for the artificial disc just came yesterday. I looked at

your photograph folder, WOW, so glad they did not wait to fix you

up. I think you are right about the direction you were headed. It

wouldn't have taken much for a total impingement of your SC. You

look great and should heal up really well. Did you have external

stitches on your neck? I noticed the steri strips. Mine was

internal stitches and glued on the outside with no steri strips.

The first surgery the scar was beautifully done, no adhesions,

healed perfectly in a straight line as if it was a natural line in

the neck fold, but after the second surgery through the same

incision it's not as perfect. I am sure in PT they will instruct

you how to avoid adhesions with your scar as it heals. Keep going

you are doing great!

Sorry, I don't follow the messages in this group too closely....

took me a while to notice yours. The neck incision has healed over

mostly, yes it was held together with steri strips, but I think they

might have done the internal stitches also. It's not bad, however I

wouldn't run a razor over it. I figure they really had to stretch

that opening to do the work and fit the hardware in there. I give

the hip incision about another week for every trace of a scab to be

gone, then I can go jump in the pool....yippee!! Don't worry, the

pool is shallower than my neck brace is high. I'll just walk around

in it to stay cool.

You know, one of the last things I thought about when talking to the

surgeon about the operation in pre-op was your ordeal. Fortunately

there was a good anesthesiologist who helped put me at ease and

before I knew it I awoke. I'm glad they fixed you and didn't

paralyze you!!!!!!

Yes, there is still a slight bit of difficulty swallowing, but a

swallow of water makes it go down easy.

Sandy, I went to my family physician last night, he has an after hours clinic. When he saw me he said I looked great ! He could definetly see the difference in my face. I told him the surgeon did a great job and that the surgeon told me when I woke up from surgery that he removed all of the silicone he saw. I remember this ! I am not crazy or making this up. Well, when I went in to see the surgeon for post-op he kinda blew me off when I ask him about the pathology report. He said it stated that the findings in the capsules were consistant with that of implants. He made out like it was NO big deal. Now to me this is a huge deal ! I think Dr. Seagle didn't want me to worry. He said, I got it all out. Or, did he go back

to denying the problem (Implants). He insisted that he fixed the problem and I didn't have anything else to worry about. I told Dr.McCoy last night about Dr.Seagle and he had me sign a release form so he can get all of my records and test results. Dr.McCoy will sit down with me and go over everything and explain what it all means. I hope to be feeling much better by Halloween.

Did you gain weight after implants

Do you have a Candida ?

The upcoming holidays will be wonderful.
