Actually, my dad's sister died of scarlet fever, now that I think about it...she was 12. I don't know if she had measles first, but I thought scarlet fever often followed them.

I had one elisa and wb done at my rheum office in Pt. Jefferson, and that did come back " borderline " and he rx me a 30 day doxy. Any testing since then has been negative, but I do believe I have had LD for over 20 years!!! I have all the symptoms, and since 1993 have been slowly getting worse, but my pcp hates to see me come in and thinks I am just a wacko. He is in Stony Brook on Rt. 347. So, and Joan, I sure believe in you and keep fighting. I was also told by my rheum that SB lyme disease section has been taken away from the hospital. Any truth in this? Keep in touch and let me know how you both are. I am not able to see a llmd here in Suffolk due to insurance, I think. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I tried the glutathione iv push and didn't notice that much of a difference with them. And I have been to Sedona, very pretty, not sure about the healing places though. Hope you have a good trip. Has anyone checked out the new lyme group on ? Called lymestrategies? Interesting stuff.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 , That was a good description! Another thing is that prolonged infection (such as lyme) can cause or exacerbate this situation by overworking your adrenal gland. I'm hoping to keep my adrenal functioning until the lyme is under control and hopefully I can recover. I thank my LLMD so much for checking my cortisol!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi a, The program doesn't allow for sugar or full-fat dairy of any kind. Here are your options if you're following BFL by the book: Half & Half or powdered coffee cream??? (SKIM MILK) real sugar or artificial sweetener??? (SWEETNERS OF ANY KIND) Butter or Margarine? (OLIVE OIL, SAFFLOWER OIL, CANOLA OIL, SUNFLOWER OIL or FLAX SEED OIL) Remember the milk does have some carbs so watch your carb ratio for the meal that you're drinking the coffee with. Also, you need to drink an additional 8oz. of water for every cup of coffee you drink. Beth U a Aubin <ericatheartist@...> wrote: hello ladies! I have a few simple, yet lurking questions...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Simple. Sugar no. Cream no. Of the three Olive Oil is the best, but really in small portions. Butter is better than margarine because your body assimilates butter and not margarine, but neither are very good for you. On 9/7/05 9:04 AM, " a Aubin " <ericatheartist@...> wrote: > hello ladies!
