[Guest guest]

tolerates the meds well. I hope it continues to go as

well for you. & nbsp; & nbsp; -dz-

Drink a LOT of clear liquids, especially water. When I

don't drink enough water my sides are much worse. I'm

glad to hear your doing so well.

I was on the older combo, which to my understanding is a little more difficult, (if simply for the fact I had to inject 3x wkly instead of once) It can be a little difficult, some people tolerate it better than others. Your body does not want to tolerate the interferon, in the beginning, but it becomes used to it to varying degrees. Most of us have managed to continue to work our regular 40 hour jobs during the treatment. I took a month leave when I first started the treatment. My viral load was over 1,000,000 and I showed mild inflammation of the liver, no fibrosis. I lost 20 lbs over the course of the treatment, due to lack of appetite. My social life discontinued. But it was all worthwhile, the virus has been absent for 3 years. Fatigue is usually the major complaint. The other "flu-like" symptoms come and go during the treatment, but the fatigue was fairly constant. You can help yourself out by taking very seriously the suggestion to DRINK LOTS OF WATER. It helps, I

found this out in reverse, because when I was lax in my water consumption I paid for it. I suppose it helps flush any toxins out of your system, but whatever it does, it's for real. -dz-lpalm99 <lpalm99@...> wrote:

Hang in there Annita. I was sick the entire 24 weeks, off work and out

of it. I go in for my 6 - month - check - up -after TX next Wednesday

and haven't felt this good in years! I don't remember much of the

time I was on TX. I know I was a sick person. Like having endless

flu for 6 months. Next week though, that's what will make it all ok.

When they tell me it's undetectable.

Right on Sharon you will be undectable at your 6 month checkup. I have

been mostly sick so far but will be worth it. These first 2 months

have gone by fast. Through this all Im getting married on the 1st of

May. Add that one all to this crazyness of this disease.

Maybe your new job will give you iinsurance. Do you

know your genotype, have you had a biopsy ?

I finished treatment in December 2002 & as of last year I was still testing negative. They say it can come back. So I keep praying that it doesn't.

< How many are treating Lyme & co-infetions only with herbs? with what

results? >

I had Lyme many years before being diagnosed. I am only using the herbs in

the core protocol (andrographis, cat's claw, resveratrol and sarsparilla) to

treat it at this time.

I've had lots of improvement since I started this about 6 months ago

(improvement in brain clarity, mood, energy, smell sensitivity, light

sensitivity,

sleep, etc.).

I worked up to the max dosages of 4 caps 4x daily as suggested in the book,

stayed at max for two months, and have since been adjusting the amount of caps

up and down 3x daily depending on how I'm feeling. Since my blood pressure has

gone even lower, I'm being more careful with andrographis and cat's claw

(though Buhner says effects of andro would likely level out).

I don't know if I will try pharmaceutical antibiotics at any time with the

herbals or not.

I hesitate to, but I am also curious if this would give me an extra boost and

may try it once. I've yet to decide.

Wow Ellen!

You don't feel like you have Lyme anymore?! Congrats!!!!

I reread the posts you mentioned in Files folder. Some questions, only if you

have the time and energy…

How long were you symptomatic before you got dxed or tested last May?

(Okay, if I read it, I've already forgotten how long you've been on any of

the herbals- note: short term memory needs work!)

You mentioned two good weeks back in October. Has your improvement held

steady since then?

If you have the time and energy, would you update us on what you've been

doing for treatment?
