I have reason to believe that I have been (or that I am) a chronic sufferer. I have not been tested yet- I need to get my "script" to get tested. However, the facts are looking more and more like this is something I should be...

sylviekitty I got a test thru the Igenex Lab, and found out I do have Lyme... will also get another test for Celiac, I believe through a colonoscopy. Oh joy. LOL

Does any one out there have this, and if so how do you deal with it? I have it and it can be a doosy of a illness to have.

sylviekitty I was diagnosed with Lyme last week. I had only suspected that was an issue for me back in March, but I think I have had it for quite some time- years, and perhaps as far back as between 1996-1998, when I was in college. I was bit by a tick in 1987- the only...

sylviekitty How is your son doing now? Is he on abx? I was just diagnosed with Lyme less than a week ago. Although I tested IgM positive, I believe that I've actually had it for some time.. that it's been a persistent infection. I'm currently just on Amoxicillin,...

My daughter is going to go for allergy testing can anyone tell me about it? We have never experienced this procedure before. She is only four years old - I am hoping it won't be too much for her to handle.

I'm sorry, but this is the most aggravating thing EVER. 1.) Ok, first off, I realize that a store wants to make sure you're not walking out with items you did not actually pay for. This is reasonable, and understandable....

sylviekitty There's a lot of times the alarm goes off in stores, and they never ask you back to the register or anything. It's just assumed (at least some of the time) that the alarm is being overly sensitive.

I'm going through a bunch of stuff in my office, "de-cluttering". And I have here, no less than 5 old calendars, dating back from before I had my daughter. (I have some from back in high school, but I'm not sure where they are)....

sylviekitty Yeah.. I have a calendar that my best friend made me.. and it has her own drawings and stuff in it. It was cute, so I couldn't throw it away.

I have this tendency to keep gas/electric/water/phone/etc bills for as long as we live in one place. As soon as we move, and get service established elsewhere, I shred them. This is only after I am assured that there is no reason...

sylviekitty There have been many cases of people misdiagnosed. Such as with MS, and then found out decades later it was actually Lyme. They started antibiotics, and their symptoms started to go away. People who were once bed-ridden, were able to walk again.

sylviekitty Which lyme test did you get? Just the ELISA? If you had it for years, chances are much higher you would not have the antibodies show up on that basic (and typically unreliable) test. You don't even need to go camping, simply because where you live in a high...

sylviekitty If you had a bug bite, and then later developed a "rash" (type in Lyme Disease rash in google, and check out the various images), then it's quite possible it's Lyme. You need to be tested for it. The ELISA test which is generally given, is not very reliable,...

sylviekitty I forget the name of the store right now, but they have those in malls here in the United States.. something like the Candy Factory. (Dang, I can't remember the name!) I think my husband and I have spent $5-6 at a time, but not because we fill up the bags. We...
