I don't check in too often because I do quite well most of the time. (Have had LD since 1992) But, I have the dull headache in the back of my head making me feel sleepy all the time, a tight neck, but it's not sore, but the most disturbing is that I feel like I have no bones in my body and the feeling you get when you're recovering from being tickled, but feel that way all over. I don't ever remember feeling this way when I was in any of my bad phases ever. I've felt this way six days now! My body wants to be horizontal. Sitting and standing is like fighting gravity.

Your post caught my eye because I absolutely hate Jell-O. When I was in hospital I could not keep any food down, except for Jell-O, oatmeal and yogurt. I really don't like food that wiggles.

That said, I get that feeling when my yeast is out of control. Are you on abx? If so, you might want to consider a sugar free (Jell-O free) diet and some antg-fungals jus to see if that helps.

Marz -

Are you taking any new medication?

Have you called your doc?
I know lots of people are hesitant to do that - don't want to bother the dear doc...

BUT here's my philosophy: I ain't a doc - instead I am a big weenie cry baby - and I want my doc to know if I'm experiencing any new weird crap.

If you can't FEEL your bones, as you say, that really says to me that it could be a CNS problem because it's the CNS that allow you to FEEL - not your bones themselves.
(This is what I remember from my massage therapy classes - I could be wrong, of course, so remember that was a gentle suggestion and not a diagnosis, and it was given at no charge.)

Go ahead & pick up the phone - call the doc. Better safe than sorry, eh?

Blessings,

I've been taking ThreeLac for Candida for over a month now and never felt any improvement as some people report they do. I've been taking GSE for months. All questionnaires for Candida come out very low for me. I don't really like sweets and love salads. Since I often can't sleep or I wake up in the middle of the night I might take about 1/3 glass wine to get back to sleep (a no-no but I have to be able to get enough sleep to go work)

I still have a positive spit test for Candida in the morning. (Is this test infallible?)

The reason I started Threelac was to totally rule out Candida and then I would know the leftover symptoms are Lymes.

I'm not on abx now. I took doxicycline for three months at the beginning and for another six months later when my symptoms returned. I also was given diflucan back then because I tested borderline positive for yeast.

Not sure I would drink the wine, although I can't wait until I can have a glass one day again.

Were you treated for Babs? My worst symptoms have been from Babs and Candida. The Lyme would come and go for years. But, when I was really really sick we treated for Babs and Candida and that made the Jell-O feeling go away, for the most part.

Just thinking outloud. Perhaps you should call your MD.
