Hi all! I used to practically live here several years ago. I was diagnosised back in 98 after being sick since 92. I found out there was life with lyme. I thought I was adjusted to all of its trails that it leaves behind in our bodies but now here I am again. I feel like I did back then. I can feel everything starting again. I'm going back on the good ole ABX's next week. I keep hoping it is just a bug and I will wake up & feel fine. I hate the ABX's. After so many years of them my stomach can't take it. Just wanted to HOWDY and I'm probably going to be around. I need to get caught up on what is new out there in the med line for us lymies. Try to have a good day! Molly

Hi,
Welcome back
Sorry to hear you are feeling bad again.
Hopefully it will just be a short flare for you.
Hoping you feel better soon.
Best wishes Posted by hopeful123 (Member # 3244) on :

Howdy!
For one thing there are lots of cool ways to visually get your point across here now.
Sorry to hear where you are at now.
I am treating again after relapse in 2004/5 after no treatment for almost 4 years.
I did not treat coinfections---have you treated for them yet? That seems to be ONE common reason for relapse.
see ya around! Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I agree. You may also want to consider Rife. Glad to see you back.....but wish it was just to stop by and say HI!

I am having the same problem. I was diagnosed in 1991 and not treated until late 1992. On IV antibiotics for 13 weeks. Here I am 14 years later with the same symptoms and having problems with the doctors not wanting to believe the symptoms. Waiting for test results, again.

The docs and I never thought about coinfections back then. I don't think many of them thought at all about me and my illness. All they wanted was my last dime.

Wow, how did you afford I.V. for that long. Most insurances only cover 30 days from what I hear.
Posted by trails (Member # 1620) on :
You should treat for the co's---even if you dont test positve-- the testing for them is as faulty as the lyme tests.
There should be a LL in MO---I think I know of one off the top of my head...any chance to get in there?
Also Dr B just put out a new guidelines this past fall and it is VERY different from the old ones. I only just started reading it a month or so ago and was surprised to see some of what he is now saying.
get thee a LLMD, I say. Trails Posted by lyme_aide (Member # 2689) on :
I refused IV treatment so I didn't have that expense. There are LLMD's here in Mo but I don't even want to go that route again. One leads to another. I'm going to get by in the simplest way I can and with the least amount of meds. I am allergic to almost everything so I don't have much choice. Do they still have the weekly chat rooms? I always loved meeting every Tuesday night.
