Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Ok I finally got these results back, it took THREE weeks!! But it came back positive. I am currently on doxycicline twice a day. Does anyone else have this? I don't know much about this either I wonder if this is why I'm still getting these bad headaches.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 HI Group: I would appreciate any info. on the treatment of Ehrlichiosis? Also, is it contagious human to human? thank you best, lea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 The treatment for Ehrlichiosis is doxy. I am not sure if it can be passed to another person. I have/had it along with lyme and babesia. My husband tested positive for lyme (he got it from me) but he didn't test positive for the co-infections. bydusk <bydusk@...> wrote: HI Group: I would appreciate any info. on the treatment of Ehrlichiosis?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 > > My husband tested positive for lyme (he got it from me) We cant absolutely believe something like this, there is no proof. Do I think Lyme can be transmitted through sex? Most likely. However it hasnt been proven, but then again, absense of proof isnt proof of absense LOL and because of this we always use protection. My hubby was dxed w/Lyme also, never had the first symptom, but was tested because I had it and better safe then sorry. Since so often spouses are in the same environment, it is easy to say they got it when we did. So we dont know if he indeed got it from me or from just being out where I probably got it to begin with. My dog and a horse also got Lyme from this area. I think there should be study done to see and prove, once and for all, wether Lyme is sexually transmitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I have had lyme for about 30yrs and was diagnosed 5yrs ago. My husband was showing signs of lyme that is why the dr tested him. We have been together for 15yrs. So, he couldn't have gotten it where I did. Have you seen Dr Mattman's video showing that she has found ketes in male sperm and in tears? I have heard from many people where spouses get lyme after the other one had been sick for yrs.not knowing they had lyme. I know one couple who has it, the husband got tick bite, rash, abx soon after. Him and his wife didn't have sex for 6mo. til doc said he was " clear " After that, they started having sex (not sure if they were using condoms) Now, she is testing positive for lyme with symptoms. I know this disease is ungodly, and I have learned to not have blinders on when it comes to this. /Rodney <rod@...> wrote: > > My husband tested positive for lyme (he got it from me) We cant absolutely believe something like this, there is no proof.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I am thinking sexually. Dr Mattman (she has researched lyme for 7-8 yrs) has a video that shows ketes in sperm, and says it is in tears. She didn't say it was in any other body fluids, but I don't see how it wouldn't be in other fluids. I know I don't have sperm but I have shed alot of tears in the course of this disease.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 , I agree,just like my post said, however there is no definative proof that anyone has ever gotten Lyme from their spouse. Maybe your husband got it on his, maybe not. Do I believe he got it from you or my hubby got it from me, most likely. Yes I know it is in blood, tears, semen, placental fluids etc.I wonder if there is a DNA test for specific strains of Lyme, this would be, to me, the best way to prove if they are indeed getting it from us. I first got Lyme way back in the 80's in CT, then got reinfected here. If hubby had the strain from Ct we would know it was from me. Hmmm thats a good point, anyone know if this type of testing is possible? I need to remember to ask LLMD about it. Of all the crap I and my critters have been through, I surely dont have blinders on. I just make the point of not making a definitive statement without proof. Re: [ ] Ehrlichiosis > I have had lyme for about 30yrs and was diagnosed 5yrs ago.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 <<<<<I wonder if there is a DNA test for specific strains of Lyme, this would>>>>>>>>> I think this is the major problem with treating people for lyme disease. There are so many different strains, I don't believe they have all been identified. What they need to do in research is identify all the strains, and then start putting them into lab dishes and start testing different abx on them. I believe that is were the problem comes in. Can you imagine that lab room? Thousands of dishes for thousands of strains........with many different abx on each bacteria......waiting to see if the bacteria can be killed off. It's a lot of work..........and unfortunately, our government doesn't want to pay to have this done.......can you imagine what this would cost?? Let's see than develop a test to determine the strain or strains in someone's blood. Then determine which abx will kill off that strain or multiple strains. Then determine the length of time on that abx to kill off that strain. Then determine the amount of abx needed to kill off that strain. And that is just one strain of the lyme bacteria......how about co-infections............how about the co-infections that haven't been identified yet? And we wonder why some of us are cured and some of us are still searching for a cure........... A lot of the treatment is guess work........very hit or miss.

Need husbands and wives to have repeated rounds of sex to observe the likelihood of contracting lyme disease. " Sorry, I just don't see it happening. clearsearcher1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
