Yes. Absolutely it's possible. And the symptoms sound about right, too.

I am new to this list and fairly new to lyme. There are so many questions I'd

like to ask and so

many directions to go that I find myself totally lurking. I guess the first

place to start might be

to ask if anyone here has used salt and C and/or rife machines (preferably

together) and would be

willing to discuss their experiences off this list? I would be willing to do it

on list but would

be somewhat inhibited. Thanks.
