Looking at Buhner Protocol...

[Guest guest]

I am a sixty year old woman and have been disabled for twelve years for

fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I just had a result of 20 on the CD-57, and

results suggesting Lyme Disease on a checklist. My doctor (who I have seen for

about ten years) is considering Chronic Lyme Disease as a possible diagnosis.

I have had pulmonary emboli and have a history of anaphlactic reactions to

various antibiotics which makes long term antibiotics a questionable treatment.

Right now, I am very scared and very confused. I have read about the politics of

chronic lyme disease and know that most medical people are disbelievers. I am

scared that antibiotics are the only way to " get well " and they may not be an

option for me. I am also concerned that I now have a shred of hope that I might

feel better and it will be dashed. I thought I was used to chronic pain and

feeling awful but I guess I am not.

I was finished a Ph.D. in Child Psych/School Psych when I became ill. My brains

are now mush.

I read about Buhner in another online site and am anxious to hear what you all

have to say.
