Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 a, Those are the exact spots I get my die-off rashes on. And they're tough rashes too...they feel like they itch from the inside-out as opposed to just on the skin level. You know? It's a totally normal reaction to the stupid yeast releasing its toxins as it dies in your system. I recommend using bentonite clay to adhere to the suckers and wash them out of your system. It really helps clear up my skin. Also, keep it moisturized because dryness makes it worse. About the sore throat thing, I know that I have a chronic cough caused by Candida. My throat occasionally gets sore, but I never know if it's from allergies, a cold, or die-off. sorry.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Hi a, Could your rash be from the laundry detergent or fabric softener? Oregano oil works well on rashes too. You might try not using soap for a while on the skin too. A rinse with vinegar is soothing. Try clove oil or tee tree oil too. Let us know about your progress.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Dear , Cristy and Chris: My LLD is certain that rashes that surface during effective Lyme treatment are the result of the bacteria coming out through the largest filtering organ -- the SKIN. Whenever they see these types of rashes (can't validate rashes subject of these posts) they smile and are happy that the treatment is doing as intended. In these cases RASHES ARE CONSIDERED A GOOD SIGN. In fact, Doc Weiss noticed 9 round, dark red, welty, roundish bite-like " things " on the back of the left leg (they were NOT fresh bites). We rejoiced. " Somethings, happening, somethings happening! " It doesn't take much to get excited around here... .. Take care, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet pathologists believe (although they are unwilling to say so publicly) that ANY INSECT THAT BITES FOR BLOOD IS A " VECTOR. " Me too - if wrong, I'd much rather err on the side of caution & avoid them all & maybe some other diseases / problems as well... With babesia, why could a mosquito NOT transmit this - it is very similar to malaria? (I'm not a doc or nurse & not a scientific type person - just my " gut " feeling.) Also daughter NEVER had a tick bite or " classic " rash & SURE IS infected. She did, however, have fly & mosquito bites... Also, as for the tick having to be " attached " for 36 hrs - NOT TRUE - per LLMD nurse & others in vet field. Just as with mosquito / malaria situation, they do not " affix " themselves for extended periods of time... And, if the tick is the only one to transmit these awful diseases & they must stay attached to become fully engorged, then how is it that so many have no knowledge / recollection of a " TICK " bite & still have lyme & co-infections????

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Hi. Sometimes I have what looks like a butter fly lupus rash on my face and my doc noticed this and tested me for lupus but it was negative. I also tend to have this redness on my face when warm and also when I haven't had any water for a while...drinking water seems to help it go away...for whatever reason??

Several Drs thought it was an allergic reaction, but I never wore makeup, sunscreen etc, and would happen at different time's, ie'mowing, horseshow, etc. The only tie-in was the extreme heat.

My rashes started before I started abx. Mine was so wierd, it appeared on my face in several spots and on one arm (it started on the top of my hand, wrapped around my wrist and went all the way up my arm to my elbow). The rash would start out as a burning feeling, then I would get a slightly raised area that was all red. It could last for 30 min. to several hours....I even have pictures. It wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd mo. that the rash finally started to go away. Now 7 mo. later and I have started to get a slight rash back on my face in the identicle place as before. Also, the sunburn I got almost two weeks ago has peeled and I thought it was turning into a tan, but as my husband pointed out the other day....that sunburn just doesn't want to go away. It starts looking tan and then after I take a shower it looks like a fresh burn all over again and it usually takes all day (or longer) to stop looking red. I am not abx at this time, so I know I don't have an abx sensativity. This stupid disease is so frustrating. Your Lyme Friend, in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was so weird, it appeared on my face in dear , I think that flare ups and herx reactions are very much related in symptoms. in fact, when we herx, all our worst symptoms appear and when we flare up, its pretty much the same. My doctor is guessing when he says my rashes are a herx reaction. He cant be sure, I present a lot of strange symptoms. Sometimes he will relate them to another patient and other times he cant. I have terrible constipation. He has never seen that in his other lyme patients. especially while on antibiotics. Must be the nature of our individual illness. Also have had 3 urinary tract infections, he tells me a few other female patients of his has this symptom. As i always tell him, everyday is a new adventure with lyme. what part of my body will freak out today! roe __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just little patches in different parts of my body. I am hoping this is related to die off, as I know of 2 children who took Colloidal Silver, and this rash appeared also. They both had taken loads of antibiotics in infancy and the " experts " reckoned this rash was die off due to the Colloidal Silver. Has anyone else had this?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Yes! I have a terribly itchy rash. When I had diarrhea and the itchy rash on Wednesday, I stayed home from work. I was worried I'd be running to the bathroom all day. Then, of course, I got constipated instead. <sigh> Anyway, I have some patches around my body. It's mostly right on my cheeks in nice ugly splotches so I am embarrassed to walk around work. I know everyone is wondering what the heck is wrong with me. I'm trying to hang in there. I wanted to give up all of my supplements, but I haven't. I keep telling myself it will get better. I even make postive statements to myself that I will get better soon. It may sound goofy, but I'll try anything at this point. > > rashes > > > Hi there > > I have just come out in an itchy rash the last two days. Just little > patches in different parts of my body.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 As I write this I am home, having called in sick to work yesterday, a pre-emptive strike for today. I had a very trying day yesterday, having diarrhea from 5 am onwards and then having to put in a 10 hour day of hard labour... aiya... I found out we had to move two grand pianos... and me.. I could hardly lift my arms to unscrew a lightbulb. I get the impression that my body is going through an extreme de-tox! I m not going to make any modifications to my diet whatsoever. If juicing greens causes the runs, so be it. I totally empathise with you all in regards to the die-off reactions and missing work, etc. I cannot afford to miss one day at work, but here I am. For me, I can see my skin improve dramatically every day, so I know I am getting better. It's the encouragement I need. I feel for you guys who get ill but can't 'see' any changes, but don't worry: they'll come! The most important things I have done: 1. a series of hydro-colonic/massage sessions, 3 so far 2. the daily psyllium/bentonite/Caproil/water combination 3. making fresh juice daily: lots of greens! 4. cutting out ALL sugars, grains, fruits, etc. I know some of you can get away with some, but I sure can't seem to pull it off. Keep up the good work!!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Thanks for your good thoughts! Yesterday, I drank about 80oz of water because I was so anxious to get rid of all the junk in my body. Well, I woke up today with a very swollen face. Not sure if it's connected or not. I drank some cabbage/celery juice and pau darco to help get rid of some of the edema. The swelling is better now. After I took a nap this morning, the redness got better, but it seems to get worse when I move around and stir up my circulation. I also did a lot of deep breathing to oxygenate my blood --and took plenty of yellow dock to " eat up " the bad stuff. What a day. I'm sorta need to make up my sick days this weekend. Bleh! At least no one will be around. The hard part of this is looking so darned awful.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Thanks Tom: Listening to all of you guys there is hope for me after all. I just started a job at a Mitsubishi dealer in Shelton CT it no wallstreet but it'll do for know at least no pressure and fantastic schedule, no more 2and a half hour commute for me no more floor pressure and best of all I don't hang around the house with two fingers on my pulse all the time. at least it keeps me busy for know and hopefully will start making some money as a car salesman. by the way I am not trying to use this wonderful support group as an advertisement because I believe I am the only one in Connecticut so far. anyway thanks for everybody's support Good Luck, Good Heart and Good Body wishes. TURK. Rashes Hi There Turk,Sorry, I cannot help you with your questions regarding Lupus and rashes. I take so many different types of meds that I wouldn't know what causes what problem. Without a doubt, I have a lot of muscle weakness which I attribute to the 80 mg of Lipitor I take everyday. I also take coumadin, digoxin, zestril and amiodarone; and my most unfavorite, Lasix.I am not ashamed to say that my nerves were shot from having the implant in 1997 and having it fire for me. I have been on a medicine called "Paxil". In my case, it has mellowed me out and I sleep well at night. I don't get uptight about things like I used to. Paxil is a multi purpose med, often used for anxiety attacks or just plain depression, and it is not addictive.And, like you, I take lorazapam each evening before going to bed (just 1)...........and if I am having a tough day for whatever reason, I take one during the day.I believe that most folks with an ICD have to deal with many emotional and physical changes in their lives and I believe that we should ask our doctors for help in the areas we feel we need it.Take care,Tom in PAPlease visit the Zapper homepage athttp://www.ZapLife.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone in this little state, we may be farthest from you, but we are in the great tourest town of Mystic. If you go to New Haven for your implant they have a great group of doctors down there. best wishes Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
