Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 a, I've been thinking a great deal about your situation. Also, I'm remembering how difficult it is to make decisions and do research when one is quite ill. You mention that you are in a lot of pain and that it isn't likely to get better. Can you talk with your doctors NOW about setting up a pain management plan for if or when things get worse? Can we (I) help you research serious pain management? I don't know a thing about it, for starters, but I can learn if necessary. Best wishes. Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 a welcome and I hope we can answer your questions. I was reading about your blood and wondered if you had been checked for pernicious anemia? It is also an autoimmune disease and your DR may have already ruled it out but thought it worth mentioning.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Bridget or anyone else..... Any of you ever throw up? I have been doing this for quite some time, over a year. Sometimes I feel like I am going to pass out, then I throw up. My feet hurt really bad, painful to walk. Knees hurt and I feel as if it's an effort to walk. Last night around midnight, I woke up and started to throw up all of a sudden. What is up with that? Anyone have any of this? a ________________________________ From: bridget <blueyes7648@...> Sent: Tue, November 10, 2009 2:50:11 PM Subject: [ ] a  Hi a, wow, could our symptoms match any closer????

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Bridget, I suffered from depression, mood swings, crying jags & panic attacks for 6 months--all Lyme related. These symptoms were (in my case) the first to disappear after 2 months of oral antibiotics. Hoping this doctor is the one who will get you on the road to recovery.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I throw up sometimes, but it's not out of the blue. I normally feel nausea - I suspect from the abx. I drink tons of kefir which seems to help. On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 7:47 AM, a Frazee <paula.frazee@...>wrote: > > > Bridget or anyone else..... > > Any of you ever throw up?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have thrown up sometimes - not very often - but was nauseous all the time!! After being in treatment now for over a year the nausea only happens maybe once a month - when I think back - about four months into my treatment the nausea lifted. The sore feet - wow - that one still happens but not so bad - I think they say that is because of babs a co-infection of lyme. I think if I were more sensitive to throwing up I would of allot more - Hope you are seeing a good LLMD - Diane ________________________________ From: Kathy Sargenti <mauimamaw@...> Sent: Wed, November 11, 2009 1:39:45 PM Subject: Re: [ ] a I throw up sometimes, but it's not out of the blue.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Could be an overtaxed gall bladder. Antibiotics will definitely do this. And nausea at night -- starting in the evening and peaking between midnight and 2 am -- is pretty canonical gall bladder stuff. Google " gall bladder alternative remedies " and you'll come up with lots of suggestions for ways to deal with this. Mine's been touchy, too, the past few months; but was completely fine during my October drug holiday, which suggests that it's not going to be a problem any more when I stop taking abx. I keep good anti-nausea meds (in Canada, we have one called Gravol that's amazing) and a serious painkiller like Vicodin on hand for the occasions it gets really bad.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks, I'll check it out. Mine is pretty much all the time - not just at night. But as I said, drinking kefir seems to help a lot. On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 4:32 PM, Sara <srobinson@...>wrote: > > > Could be an overtaxed gall bladder. Antibiotics will definitely do > this.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yes, I have severe nausea and stuff, and we are looking into my gall bladder which causes headaches, fatigue, shoulder and back pains, and stomach issues of all sorts.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi Elaina, I too have a gall bladder that gives me grief with the same symptoms as you. I was on IV Rocephin for 8 months and that I think is what destroyed it. Since then I did change my diet a bit, I have been staying away from greasy foods, any recipes with cream in it, less breads, and no milk. It has helped. So I decided I wasn't going to take the gall bladder out and see what happens...Actually the nausea and the vomiting I had also stopped and I feel when I started on the salt/c protocol that also helped me some, not sure why but I did see less nausea and haven't vomited since. Good luck ________________________________ From: Elaina <nhgirlloveshorses@...> Sent: Thu, November 12, 2009 8:53:23 AM Subject: Re: [ ] a Yes, I have severe nausea and stuff, and we are looking into my gall bladder which causes headaches, fatigue, shoulder and back pains, and stomach issues of all sorts.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Kayt, I only participated in this group when I was newly diagnosed. I still read the posts, but thankfully I have been responding well to treatment. I have had PA for many years, but it was mild and would flare in one finger and go in to remission with meds for a month or two. Two years ago (this week-end as a matter of fact) it exploded. I was worsening rapidly and was scared to death. Initially I was placed on prednisone, then methotrexate, then Arava and finally Enbrel. Enbrel has been my lifesaver, although I constantly worry about side effects and infections. My husband reminds me that without it I wouldn't be functional and I would be very depressed. It has now been 15 months since I started Enbrel. I have had a good response with pretty mild symptoms remaining. The biggest change for me has been in my energy level and my ability to tolerate physical work i.e. painting a room or doing heavy cleaning . Fortunately, I was able to decrease my work to part-time. I really have to pace my activities and plan. I also find that getting enough sleep is absolutely essential to how I feel. I have consulted with a nutritionist and really feel that foods have been very important. I eat lots of fresh fruits and vegies, small amounts of protein and very little bread. I can tell a difference when I eat rich foods or lots of carbohydrates or alcohol. My GP placed me on a high dose of Vitamin D as well and I really think it has helped. I have not been able to continue as vigorous of exercise as I was doing prior to PA (rowing and kayaking), but I can walk for long distances. I tried to decrease my meds (per my md's instructions) but sxs returned rapidly, so it was a no go. I have had to make some real adjustments as to my thoughts about having PA. If I look at it as taking away things I love I get depressed. I have had to accept that " it is what it is " and be grateful that I am responding so well. I have given up on trying to explain it. Even my kids don't get it and they saw me when it was bad. I think my husband is the only one who understands what I was going through. Only you can make decisions about your treatment. The choices are scarey, but hopefully you have a good doc who will get you through it. I have tested my doc with disagreeing with some things he has wanted me to do, but we need to have some control and we know how we feel. Good luck to you, and I hope you have a good outcome.
