Just Diagnosed with LYME DISEASE!

What are your symptoms ??

Mine is dizzy on occasion, cold arms most of the time. Theirs are joint pain, swollen limbs, dizzy, headaches..

I would take a look at the Pyroluria and Lyme disease connection and be watchful of Pyroluria symptoms that may start to arise. Specifically heavy metal toxicity, like copper, because Pyroluria causes B6 and Zinc deficiency.

Would that show on an IGENIC test? That was a cd-57 test for LYME..

bet that ticked you off

My son went nuts and I had to take him to the hospital..they knew nothing about Lyme..said it was in his head. He has been treated for 4 months and is MUCH better. It was caught early

Your atleast fortunate to get diagnosed in this day and age. They can stabilize it to almost nothing with modern medicine. It also travels by Mosquitos which most likely how it was passed to family. Just takes one night by the campfire with one infected. They found a frozen caveman with it, been around for 1000's of years.

sucks to be you

have a nice day

pull the tick out of your dumb head and be back to normal in a few days.

Nothing to see here :P

I was diagnosed in April after 12+ doctors and 3 pages of smyptoms...I am 41 and now bed ridden with it. The pain is absolutely excuriating. The dr thinks mine laid dormant for years after a tick bite.

I know of no one who has it and I am in GA...not know for lyme. What state are you in? From all my research it is NOT airborne or in saliva. If you have not seen the movie on hulu or youtube "under our skin" I highly recommend it.

I have a PICC line now. I will keep your family in my prayers.

fucking idiot. It has been stated that 1 billion people have LYME. You are in your late stages..

Where in Canada are you located??

by the way, I went through this as a young child with the same dismay. Nobody knew what it was. By chance a doctor found it, pulled it out, I was fine . BE CAREFUL HOW THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES TREATMENT. Once the tick is removed he should come back to normal. During these times you can't trust what they want to give you. Careful about medication .

One love

late stages? God help your ignorant face for breeding on this planet.

CD57 is not lyme test it is am immune test however many with lyme have a low test...normal is above 200. low is 60...mine was 28.

According to a few doctors I have listed to, Lyme disease can be transmitted via air, saliva or contact. It is much worse then AIDS or HIV. We are taking SAMENTO..
He got bit in RHODE ISLAND, we never got bit, unless he brought a pile of ticks back?

Going to Lyme literate doctor tomorrow to get tested. I have 95% of the symptoms.

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease several years ago after I suspect having it for close to 20 years.

I was so sick, I couldn't walk anymore, I had peripheral neuropathy in my feet and legs, I had concentration and memory issues, I developed cardiac arrhythmia, chronic sinus infections, elevated liver enzymes,

My CD-57 levels were almost non existent

I was put on oral and IV Antibiotics and became sicker still due to what's known as a Jarisch Herxheimer reaction (build up on toxins from the Lyme spirochete being killed off)

I was on these meds for close to 4 years along with pain killers, Oral vitamins a supplements.

After awhile I did stabilize but I never felt like I was cured. It was only after I started taking oral magnesium, a supplement called Samento (purified form of cat's claw) and high doses of Vitamin C that I began to recover.

It has now been two years since then I feel amazingly better. Not 100 percent as I don't believe that someone who is infected with Lyme long term will ever fully recover but I am now at a point where I can function again.

It is not transmitted by mosquitos. It is a blood borne pathogen excreted through the saliva of a deer tick. It is not viral or bacteria but a spirocehete which is treatable with antibiotics. The tick needs to be embedded for 24-48 hours for transmission to occur. If you catch it in the first week a single dose of amoxicillin or doxycycline will eradicate the pathogen. If not it may require a regimen of IV antibiotics over several weeks.

You have to send your blood to California, Igenics lab does the blood test.. We have had all the tests over $1600..just to be sure..

SAMENTO DISINFO

Fuck you guys. Really. Fuck you.

cockroaches.

You got bit and didn't know it.

It's the little bitty young ticks that carry a bigger punch in transmitting the disease. So I've heard. You probably washed it off in the shower one morning after it had injected you with its dirty fangs.

Good luck.

I am not pushing Samento on anyone.

I can only speak for myself as to how well it worked.

If it didn't work for you I apologize but not everything works for everybody.

Not true. My son has been to every LYME symposium with the top doctors in the world..( He as money) All that info you have read is now bull..It takes MONTHS possibly years to cure this..
I even know of a guy here who has spent 300k to find a cure..he hasn't.

Yes samento is the top cure..We have been on it for 2 months, it has made a 75% difference so far!

THIS

Lyme CD57 Test
THE CD-57 Striker Panel Test

Our ability to measure CD-57 counts represents a breakthrough in Chronic Lyme Disease treatment. It can be used to help determine how active the infection is, how well the treatment is working, and whether, after treatment ends, a relapse is likely to occur!

This is how it works: Chronic Lyme infections are known to suppress the immune system. The Lyme spirochete can affect all major cell types of the immune system, but it most clearly can impact a specific subset of the natural killer cells. This is called the CD-57 subset. Just as in HIV infection, which suppresses T-cell counts, Lyme suppresses Natural killer cell count such as CD57. As in HIV infection, where abnormally low T-cell counts are routinely used as a marker of how active the infection is, in Lyme we can use the CD-57 count to indicate how active the Lyme infection is. When Lyme is active, the CD-57 count is suppressed. We currently are having our tests run by LabCorp because published research on this test was based on their methods. At this lab, the expected range for the CD 57 count is above 60. However, in the chronic Lyme patient, CD-57 counts are usually well below 60 and may be at risk with levels of 60-100.

My wife just got diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease, currently inactive and has seemingly never crossed her blood brain barrier, even though she has probably had it for twenty plus years.

Her symptoms have been persistent for years and years, though relatively mild compared to some people. She's been very lucky really, some people get severe dementia from this shit...

Anyway, she gets to start a six month run of oral antibiotics, and if that doesn't get it, they run a central line and give IV antibiotics for another three months (which would totally suck).

The treatment is hard, and hard on you, but I hear from people who have beaten Lyme Disease, it's well worth it...

Make sure she takes pro-biotics!
