Do you have prominent, what is called Crimson Crescents??

Suppossed to be indicitive of cfids/ME.

Also I have no gag reflex.
Used to gag really easy.

Sure could not be anorexic.>>>>
I can stick all my fingers down throat with not reaction.

Anyone else. I noticed this on another site. That is when I checked was surprised. Used to not beable to take vitamin without gagging.

How do you do?

You said..

"I can stick all my fingers down throat with no reaction. Anyone else."

Sorry...

I am really not wanting to stick my fingers down your throat today...

But thanks for the offer...

I'm afraid the cost would be too great.

I would have to fly to Florida... rent a car.. drive to your place... and then there are meals, gas, and other expenses to consider too.

NOT that it doesn't sound fun and all... but...

Perhaps we can do it another time... ok?

You have neuro damage if you have no gag reflex... and have trouble swallowing. It can be reversed or improved by the way.

I had the same thing. My tongue is partly paralysed too... on one side.

You might want to see the post on cranial nerves.

The chiropractic neurologist was able to help with that situation.. very easily.

I also had the red marks you describe...

But they went away with proper antibiotic treatment.

Wanna see?

Well.. sorry I can't come down there today.

I am very busy.,

I gotta go lick all the snails off the bottom of the scummy pond....

If I didn't have to do that...

You KNOW I would come stick my fingers down your throat... and have a good old time doing it.

I think the trip would be worth it. Don`t you miss Fl.

Alot of folks on immune board said they had the crimson cresents.

Someone posted big article on it being linked to Cfids./ME.

Also it was somebody who asked about the gag reflex. I never thought about it except can swallow bunch of Vitamoins. Never could do before.

You are too much~~~~~

I think yiu really need a Fl.vacation. May help that silly mind..lol..

This is disorder where overwhelming fatigue hits. No matter whether you sleep or not.

Fatigue that can actually hurt so bad.

It is not the best thing, just adds 1 more infection. Whether related to lyme or co-infect. Not sure. It doe`s have mortalitiy rate.

Cher was in bed 31/2 yrs. for it. Then she went ele natural. Said Sam-e helped her. SHe still suffers from it. Takes coach with trailor & big bed if she is trying to work.

You know she could have called God for help with her money. Still was in bed for 3 1/2 yr. It is known to go into remission all of sudden.

I just got med article yesterday. They proved gfids/ME. It is real, for the doubting doc`s.

I was distracted while writing the reply yesterday and had to stop.. and wanted to add today....

There is a study... published yet??? .. or on the way?? Anyhow.. I heard of it last year.. from the doctor who did it..

They did biopsies on tonsils.

Over 20 of them if I recall.... after they were removed, of course.

ALL of them were found to have spirochetes in them.

Sooooooooo...

And keep in mind...

My cc's were there.. but were clear after proper treatment.

Hope this helps!

And yes.. I miss Florida. Especially since my "little one" is now there. He is helping with hurricane stuff on Sanibel Island.

Hope you got some sleep! AND enjoyed your company!!

Later gator...

I only developed permanent crimson crescents when my Lyme became full blown and they are always really noticeable now.

CFS/ME is Lyme.

Have to keep an eye on this. I don't know what crimson cresents are but my left tonsil has been enlarged since I had the worst case of tonsilitis ever about 6 months after being bit by lots of cat ticks, 15 years ago.

Interesting that they found bb in the tonsils, this is the side that gives me all the trouble. The left side of my head and the right side of my body. When sick, that side of throat always hurts more and that eye is the swollen one that barely ever goes down to normal size. When the ducks look in my throat, they always laugh to see how enlarged it, yeah, real funny...assh***s.

Tincup, you do have a talent to write great posts, I love reading them. Trout's pretty good too.

The nurse doesn't mind doing strep test on me at all. You could stick the swab clear down my throat and not even a flinch of a gag reflex.

My tonsils are also huge and a bright red to purple color. When i told this to my mom she thought i was crazy.

Yes. Both my fiance and I do and we both have Lyme... of course after being told we had CLASSIC CFIDS/ME (and me FM too) for many years.

Yeah... so they say. Not true though.

Also I have no gag reflex.

Before I finally got treated for Lyme I was dealing with dysphagia. My ability to swallow would almost totally disappear for days and I could barely swallow water without choking on it. If you lose your gag reflex I would assume it is somehow related to those same nerves. Thank God I got diagnosed and started treatment for Lyme and the co-infections.
