I'm worried the Lyme might be back as well. I don't KNOW this, though. It could be something else entirely. I'm 45 after all, and the cat's claw worked incredibly well, when I used it. So unless this thing went into total bleb state for a number of years, then I may be suffering from something else.
The cat's claw, prima una del gato, I took a very small amount and it seemed to chase the problems I had away much more effectively than any other antibiotic, so I would say it did a great job. However, here is my whacko symptom now... I have pain on the TOPS of my elbows. More in the right than the left, and it starts from my main joint to about two inches from my elbow. I have NOT changed anything. I still pick up about the same amount of weight everyday, and I know this, because I feed animals everyday and the feed is almost always the same weight. It hasn't gotten worse though. That's good.
I'm supposed to have a complete physical on Wednesday, I'm about ready to stop it before I have one more appointment with my Lyme doc, who I haven't seen in more than two years, btw, I wonder if she will have me back?) I think I need her input and my med records, very badly before I go through a whole physical. I want things put in context. I want my doctor to know that I might be infected (and I was, PCR's proved it) despite what this liar of an infectious disease specialist lied about lyme to me and to my husband.
I know I need the physical, but I don't think I will do well without the records. She never sent them to my primary car doctor...
I think I ansered my own question, but I would appreciate opinions anyway.

Hi, could you explain your story a bit clearer?
So you stopped abx 2 years ago and were on cats claw since then? Or stopped both 2 years ago?
Is your elbow pain like arthritic pain?
One way to know is to take borrelia killers and see if you get the pattern herx- improvement or just improvement.
It was nice to hear you were on remission for 2 years. I hope it's not lyme, but if it is, I hope it can get into remission again soon!
Good luck, Selma

I have a 21 year old daughter that was well for three years and symptons are back full blown. I truly believe she has chronic Lymes.

I was thinking the same thing. Crank up the Prima Una and see what happens.

Sally, you've come to the right place. Why don't you post your daughters story in a new thread and we'll see if we can help.
