As my bacterial infection winds down (infected over 35 years, dx'd 6 years ago, treated 6 yrs)

I have a nasty fungal...systemic problem...but here's the good thing.

I got back in the gym 7 weeks ago.....I weighed 147lbs at 6 ft 1 in tall.....pretty thin.

After pumping iron and then taking 2 days off inbetween sessions...I have GAINED 18lbs. [Wink]

My kids say I look like a 16 year old stud...lol.

Now...consider this.....almost 7 years ago I was temporarily paralyzed from morning paralysis....had TREMEDOUS Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, mini-convulsions, hallucinations, short-term memory loss, and on and on.....

Not to mention the two MD's that said it was either allergies or ALS or psycho-sematic....to them I said Bull****!!!!!!

Ladies and gentleman....take the bull by the horns and DESTROY this disease...you CAN do it.

I was at the END of a frayed rope....and lived.

You can too......

Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :

kent and their 2 girls all have lyme.

wife doesn't but is now better after treating her breast cancer.

if you click on trout's PROFILE; 1st box; then look for current posts, you might be able to find where their girls were going to a softball champtionship game in TENN?? last aug??

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

betty .. Track meet, not softball.

Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :

Good to hear from you Kent (trout scout)

I flash back to when I first signed on to lymenet and you were so helpful.

Thinking that was in 2003.

2008 now...who would have thunk it.

Trying to find someway to make this rythme (sp?) with hunk and troutscout and thunk it but can't seem to find it.

Perhaps bettyg could help me out.

Congratulations and hope all continues to go well.

Geneal...LOL

TuTu..if I ever get to meet Kent in person I'll heed your warning and stay down wind from him and the garlic. [Smile]

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

[Big Grin]

He's gonna hit me next time I see him!

Posted by troutscout (Member # 3121) on :

Thanks guys....yes life will change...not for al of us....but, if we don't try...and earnestly beleive in a good turn around...then we will only go down in defeat.

Treatments? Done a ton of 'em...I always went with my instinct...let my body tell me what was best.

Even went against my venerable LLMD a couple of times....tried rife...still doing it...tried herbs....still doing it.

I herxed on EVERYTHING!!!!! EVERY TIEM I Took it!

So....I knew my infection was beyond Lyme...Bartonella was the magic button.

I'll post my article that I'm writing on here some day...its a three part magazine article written anonymously....so I can divulge what my wifes family tried to do our happy family of four. It will be a blood and guts accounting of the horrors of this illness..I want to make people nauseous at the thought of what others can and WILL do to you when you are struck with a mysterious illness.

God Bless You All.....

Trout;)

Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :

tutu; i stand corrected .... track! softball is HUGE in iowa ... so my lyme mind didn't remember!! thanks for catching my error [Smile]

quoting kam,

Perhaps bettyg could help me out.,,,,

kam, here goes nothing!!
**************************

There was once a guy named Kent aka trout
and boy was he a scout!
He was also quite a HUNK
but, golly gee, who would have THUNK?
and now all the ladies agree...that's NO BUNK!
OR maybe that means he'll have to go back to living like a MONK!

an original by Betty G

Trout/Kent, please post your link here in SUCCESS STORIES IN "SUPPORT" .... everyone needs encouragement; and reading everyone's stories there will PROVIDE that to us all! [group hug]

Posted by suki444 (Member # 4261) on :

Hi Trout
I recognise your name from yrs ago and have read many of your posts...good to hear you are making great progress!

I wanted to ask - did you have Babs and if so, what treatment did you take?

I'm in treatment 5 yrs and struggling with this,

thanks for any info
Emma

Posted by lymemomtooo (Member # 5396) on :

Posted by Dawnee (Member # 15089) on :

Thanks SO VERY MUCH for the hope and inspiration!!!
Dawn

Posted by lymeHerx001 (Member # 6215) on :

Please do, I am anxious to find out.

I herx on alot of stuff too. Apparantlly this sounds like My LLMDs' approach. Keep taking stuff that will make you herx and years later you will be cured.

Suki,

yes on the babs thing.....Mepron, malarone, artemisinin....tried many different times at different levels.

Can't tell you what really hit me.

Thanks to everyone else that keep posting...lymemomtoo, betty, etc....all great folks.

what NO comments about my HUNKY POEM TO YOU!! [lol]

Posted by Boomerang (Member # 7979) on :

Congrats sir troutscout! So good to read a positive post!!

And lol @ Geneal requesting a pic of the new studmuffin!

Posted by lymeHerx001 (Member # 6215) on :

So trout you confused your infection!

Posted by daise (Member # 13622) on :

Hey trout,

Way to go!

Good for you! [Razz]

Good times ahead! [Wink]

In my opinion, the best Lyme articles, whether written to a legislator, for a publication, or written for we fellow Lymies is THE BLOOD AND GUTS KIND.

That's because it's real. There isn't anything polite about it. It speaks from the heart and soul. And it tells it like it is.

The real deal is honest--and it ain't pretty.

Are you familiar with PJ Langhoff's new books? It's All In Your Head (Book 1 and Book 2) has stories written by the patients themselves! Very effective.

You did it!

Trout,

I just read your PM. I would like to reply, but your mailbox is full.

Posted by JRWagner (Member # 3229) on :

Yea fish man, but you are still UGLY!!!! HA...just kidding...that is really good news. I too am working out...it helps keep me sane.

Bartonella heh? Did you test for Bart in the past?

I still have the extreme fatigue/brain fog things...long term Amox helps...perhaps I need to stay on for years...as soon as I stop, I go backwards again.

Have you had time to go fishing? The way we humans are going, neither wild nor farmed fish will be safe to eat!

I hope your Mrs. gets better!

Good to see your name again!

Peace, Love and Wellness,
JRW

Posted by troutscout (Member # 3121) on :

I'll get the pic in here when I can...lol

JRW long time. Thought you had gone over the deep end for a while.

No test....just symptoms...herxed on everything....it just made sense...I am sure I've put my Lyme into remission....weight lifting really helping.

Hi NO2 sups..Vit d3....1200mg Alpha Lipoic Acid
L-Glutamine.....Multi Vitamin and Liver support

Betty G....keep up the prose....but don't quit your day job

Trout [Wink]

Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :

"dont quit your day job" .... oh golly miss molly! [lol]

Posted by JRWagner (Member # 3229) on :

Still on the edge Fishman, still on the edge...this brain stuff is really bad. I am glad you have found an answer!
