Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi Helen: Yes I did mention it, and she said that is definitely hereditary. She was also really familiar with Ehler's-Danlos, which is the other thing they are watching Hannah for. She also suggested that if they do the genetic testing on Hannah for this, that I should get tested too, you never know. We will mention all this at Hannah's next appt, which won't be until late summer. I will keep an on eye on the stomach, good think is I already day Omeparazole everyday for GERD, so I think I will be OK. I'll let everyone know the results of the labs when I get everything back. Beth & Hannah, both with Hypermobility & Overuse Syndrome (Hannah with asthma; gerd; daily migraines) Sending prayers & happy thoughts, Beth :-) Re: coincidence???? -Beth,Thats very interesting, did you tell your internist about Hannah after she mentioned the hypermolity and the oversue syndrome?? what did she think of it??I hope the med changes help, watch your stomach with all that ibuprofen ok...hugs Helen and (9,systemic)-- In @group s.com, Beth Yohnk <yohnkmom@.. .> wrote:>> Hi everyone:> Strange, but true.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Im unsure of what youre asking. Herxes are the result of dying bacteria--some feel it takes enough bacteria to be there and then in addition, enough to die off before youll get a true " herx " reaction. Could the few days of Doxy have done that for you?? cant really say.Especially since it was a whole 10 days later that you had the symptoms. Usually there isnt that gap time. ( taking meds, stopping them and waiting for days then a " herx " ) could it have simply sparked some symptoms to come out--possibly but the stye itself may have sparked that too--any other infection or inflammation can increase or even poke Lyme symptoms. So thats how it may be related. and keep in mind feeling tired and achey can even be from the stye too. [i wonder why your Dr didnt give you eye ointment or drops instead of ingesting doxy??] F. [ ] coincidence???? I just noticed today when going through old Dr.'s notes..... In March of this year I had a weird sty type thing going on w/ my eye and the Dr. treated me w/ Doxy.... I only took the doxy for a couple days (long enough for my eye to clear up) A week and a half later I went in with my original lyme complaints.... feeling fluish tired achy but no vomitting or anything. Could this be related? Could I have been beginning to herx?? What do you guys think? peacenlove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 It's strange you mentioned that. My son has an appt with a Lyme specialist in Jan. He has had a positive ELISA test, and he always has all kind of stys and weird things on his eyelid.
