I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it.

It helps me enormously. How much of this is topical I'll probably never know... Bill seems to think it is a bug and I can't deny there are not bugs because most of us have found some of them. For me, I never found a bug, only fibers and maybe a bug wrapped in a fiber.

I have been on Doxy 300 mg for 6 weeks now along with Diflucan once daily and Nystatin 4 times daily. I haven't had crawlies in months. Pin pricks have stopped as well. 2 days into Doxy I felt some burning which I think is herxing. About 2 weeks into Doxy my joints have all been hurting as well as being nauseous and light headed at times. The Doxy did not stop the crawlies for me as that went away before I even went on it. However, it may have stopped the pin pricking. I do have Lyme and possibly had it for 20 years. >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > >------------------------------------ >> > > >> > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 C- If the herxing was too severe on the banderol do fewer drops and work up to the higher doses, it is a very potent herb for Lyme. Yes, definitely keep taking the Diflucan, every other day if you can afford it, at least until you've been on a multi-strain probiotic for a while. Another option for doxy, bactrim, etc is aquarium stores- they are the same drugs they use on expensive exotic fish which are very sensitive.Also, if you herxed on banderol this would indicate Lyme, and you will probably herx on Doxy. Might need an anti-nausea med for a few days if doc will give you. I used Ondansetron when I started treatment, it allowed me to keep the meds down.Aandraya On Feb 23, 2012, at 4:39 PM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: Thanks Aa Have stoped samento as herxed too.painfuly Liked banderol But runnin out Will cut back n get more in two weeks then.if helps abx work better.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks Aa I herxed on samento quite badly Made my stomach spasm and very bad crawly sensation on it Didnt herx on banderol,was ok on it. Cant aford any more meds just now But got 45 days 200 mg doxy today So fingers crossed!!:-) ------------------------------ On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 15:09 PST Aandraya wrote: >C- If the herxing was too severe on the banderol do fewer drops and work up to the higher doses, it is a very potent herb for Lyme. Yes, definitely keep taking the Diflucan, every other day if you can afford it, at least until you've been on a multi-strain probiotic for a while. Another option for doxy, bactrim, etc is aquarium stores- they are the same drugs they use on expensive exotic fish which are very sensitive. > >Also, if you herxed on banderol this would indicate Lyme, and you will probably herx on Doxy. Might need an anti-nausea med for a few days if doc will give you.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > >> >Aandraya >> > >> > >> > >> >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > >> > >> > Thanks Aa >> > Shall take two a day then! >> > Will eat plenty oats, >> > They soothe the tummy >> > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > >> > ------------------------------ >> > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > >> > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water. It is all so perplexing because the Bartonella does cause crawling sensations, scratch marks which are on the surface, and stretch marks, again on the surface of the skin. Lyme disease also causes similar sensations. I think the first time I was infected with Lyme Disease was in the 80's bit while gardening. I got incredibly sick out of the blue, developed what I called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and for a long time, months, I had a sensation of ants walking on the brain (inside the skull).

I have been on Doxy 300 mg for 6 weeks now along with Diflucan once daily and Nystatin 4 times daily. I haven't had crawlies in months. Pin pricks have stopped as well. 2 days into Doxy I felt some burning which I think is herxing. About 2 weeks into Doxy my joints have all been hurting as well as being nauseous and light headed at times. The Doxy did not stop the crawlies for me as that went away before I even went on it.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal.>> >>> >Aandraya>> >>> >>> >>> >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote:>> >>> >>> > Thanks Aa>> > Shall take two a day then!>> > Will eat plenty oats,>> > They soothe the tummy>> > And camomile peppermint tea!>> >>> > ------------------------------>> > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote:>> >>> > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water. It is all so perplexing because the Bartonella does cause crawling sensations, scratch marks which are on the surface, and stretch marks, again on the surface of the skin. Lyme disease also causes similar sensations. I think the first time I was infected with Lyme Disease was in the 80's bit while gardening. I got incredibly sick out of the blue, developed what I called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and for a long time, months, I had a sensation of ants walking on the brain (inside the skull).

I have been on Doxy 300 mg for 6 weeks now along with Diflucan once daily and Nystatin 4 times daily. I haven't had crawlies in months. Pin pricks have stopped as well. 2 days into Doxy I felt some burning which I think is herxing.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > >> >Aandraya >> > >> > >> > >> >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > >> > >> > Thanks Aa >> > Shall take two a day then! >> > Will eat plenty oats, >> > They soothe the tummy >> > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > >> > ------------------------------ >> > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > >> > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Great C! Hope you start getting some relief.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks Aa! Sore stomach and tired,but knew that would happen Takin zantac slipry elm etc three hour before tabs. Just hope can take the course! Still bites but only one day treatment Hopeful for help! So doxy stops them reproducing? If it is still mites that is. Would 45 days be enough treatment to kill them off? Takin 200mg as sugested Though im aware if lyme or bartonella would be longer treatment Yes,realy doctors need more training Its shockin the lack o help for lyme N how mite afected folk treated as mental When its a physical reality! ------------------------------ On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 17:55 PST Aandraya wrote: >Great C!

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > > >> > >Aandraya >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > > >> > > >> > > Thanks Aa >> > > Shall take two a day then! >> > > Will eat plenty oats, >> > > They soothe the tummy >> > > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > > >> > > ------------------------------ >> > > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > > >> > > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water.

It helps me enormously. How much of this is topical I'll probably never know... Bill seems to think it is a bug and I can't deny there are not bugs because most of us have found some of them. For me, I never found a bug, only fibers and maybe a bug wrapped in a fiber.

I have been on Doxy 300 mg for 6 weeks now along with Diflucan once daily and Nystatin 4 times daily. I haven't had crawlies in months. Pin pricks have stopped as well. 2 days into Doxy I felt some burning which I think is herxing. About 2 weeks into Doxy my joints have all been hurting as well as being nauseous and light headed at times. The Doxy did not stop the crawlies for me as that went away before I even went on it. However, it may have stopped the pin pricking.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > > >> > >Aandraya >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > > >> > > >> > > Thanks Aa >> > > Shall take two a day then! >> > > Will eat plenty oats, >> > > They soothe the tummy >> > > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > > >> > > ------------------------------ >> > > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > > >> > > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water.

It helps me enormously. How much of this is topical I'll probably never know... Bill seems to think it is a bug and I can't deny there are not bugs because most of us have found some of them.

I have been on Doxy 300 mg for 6 weeks now along with Diflucan once daily and Nystatin 4 times daily. I haven't had crawlies in months. Pin pricks have stopped as well. 2 days into Doxy I felt some burning which I think is herxing. About 2 weeks into Doxy my joints have all been hurting as well as being nauseous and light headed at times. The Doxy did not stop the crawlies for me as that went away before I even went on it. However, it may have stopped the pin pricking. I do have Lyme and possibly had it for 20 years. >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >------------------------------------ >> > > > > >> > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 C- Just to be clear, in my case I took a lot more than Doxy to get my situation resolved- skin sores and bugs on me. I took multiple antibiotics and herbs for the treatment of the three "B's" borrelia, bartonella and babesia. After about 10 months I had no more bugs on me. Others here seem to get past it quicker than I did.Aa On Feb 25, 2012, at 5:46 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: Aggi Can u tell me again,how long did u take doxy 200 mg a day for?

Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > >> >Aandraya >> > >> > >> > >> >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > >> > >> > Thanks Aa >> > Shall take two a day then! >> > Will eat plenty oats, >> > They soothe the tummy >> > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > >> > ------------------------------ >> > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > >> > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I know how that feels, sometimes the treatment feels worse than the original condition. So sorry C about your stomach situation. I have to remember to take probiotics too and that helps the stomach and sleep. My sleep has been very broken up and was up this morning again at 2:30 am. I was in a very low mood yesterday, desperate too. When sleep is bad it gets worse. Believe me, I know about inflammation. That's been a problem for me for years.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I agree this mite thing creates post traumatic stress disorder. Because this condition persists it is almost like living with a destructive parent or destructive partner who is constantly abusing us daily... I have done some of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which helps quite a bit with reworking the synapsis of the brain where the PTSD clicks into the same emotional pattern of terror. You can look it up and some of it is available on the web. Dr. Mercola has videos which explains how to do it - very simple and it works. I bought Craig's DVDs and CDs a few years ago and have watched them (9 DVDs). Craig, the originator of EFT, worked with Vietnam Vets and many others who had debilitating PTSD and helped many of them become functional again, people who were hospitalized because it was so severe. A friend of mine who is a psychotherapist does a similar training called TAT and she has worked me too. She worked with me on Skype doing the work. I'll need more work on this too.From: "ILIKE TREES" <wherearetheangels@...>bird mites Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 6:17:30 AMSubject: Re: lyme n co infectionsAh thanks linda x sorry it a struggle for you also!:-(Yes I take a probiotic just before bed but like u woke in early hours inflamationMy friend said im bein destructive!And shudnt damage myselfWhen I dont even.have a diagnosis o lymeBut I have to try this!!Becaise all the symptoms I have nCannot tolerate pin prick bitesEasy for someone to comment who isnt going thru any of this!!The bites bring out post tramatic stress disorder in meBecause even though I dont know whether it is still the mites I panic every time I m bitBecause of the association with mitesSo can never rest my mind n feel secure with the bites going onYou know?Will keep trying but the tummy is so not good!!!:-(Oh meow!!!!!------------------------------On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 05:43 PST Goldstein@... wrote:>I know how that feels, sometimes the treatment feels worse than the original condition.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi C, I started off with Itraconazole 200 mg per day, then switched to Doxy 200 mg per day for about 1 1/2 months, went on holidays taking Itraconazole for 2 weeks, switched to Doxy 100 mg for a month or so and am now back on 200 mg per day. As abx has always triggered fungus for me, I just take a round in between the Doxy treatments. And yes, it is true, starting on the meds was the start into a normal life for me after 2 years of sheer horror... Are you on Doxy now and how long ?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 C- you started the doxy? I'm sure you are experiencing the Herxheimer effect- upset stomach, hot/cold feelings in body(sometimes a fever present but not necessarily, worsening of pain and/or new pain symptoms, worsening of biting feelings, worsening of everything... This is due to the Doxy killing the bacteria and will pass as you get your infection load down.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > >> >Aandraya >> > >> > >> > >> >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > >> > >> > Thanks Aa >> > Shall take two a day then! >> > Will eat plenty oats, >> > They soothe the tummy >> > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > >> > ------------------------------ >> > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > >> > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

It kills the mites instantly. Fill into a small spray bottle and whenever you feel a bite, spray it on, rub a bit and see/feel what happens.

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water. It is all so perplexing because the Bartonella does cause crawling sensations, scratch marks which are on the surface, and stretch marks, again on the surface of the skin. Lyme disease also causes similar sensations. I think the first time I was infected with Lyme Disease was in the 80's bit while gardening. I got incredibly sick out of the blue, developed what I called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and for a long time, months, I had a sensation of ants walking on the brain (inside the skull). I think that was Lyme, although I did not get >> > > > treated for it because the testing was so inaccurate. >> > > > >> > > >These infections can cause things that appear on the outside of the skin.

It helps me enormously. How much of this is topical I'll probably never know... Bill seems to think it is a bug and I can't deny there are not bugs because most of us have found some of them. For me, I never found a bug, only fibers and maybe a bug wrapped in a fiber.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist. You also need a good quality probiotic, take min 3 hrs away from abx, before bedtime is ideal. >> > >> >Aandraya >> > >> > >> > >> >On Feb 23, 2012, at 5:31 AM, ILIKE TREES <wherearetheangels@...> wrote: >> > >> > >> > Thanks Aa >> > Shall take two a day then! >> > Will eat plenty oats, >> > They soothe the tummy >> > And camomile peppermint tea! >> > >> > ------------------------------ >> > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 14:56 PST Aandraya wrote: >> > >> > >Oops I meant the 100 2 x a day is a standard starting dose.

It kills the mites instantly. Fill into a small spray bottle and whenever you feel a bite, spray it on, rub a bit and see/feel what happens.

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water. It is all so perplexing because the Bartonella does cause crawling sensations, scratch marks which are on the surface, and stretch marks, again on the surface of the skin. Lyme disease also causes similar sensations. I think the first time I was infected with Lyme Disease was in the 80's bit while gardening. I got incredibly sick out of the blue, developed what I called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and for a long time, months, I had a sensation of ants walking on the brain (inside the skull). I think that was Lyme, although I did not get >> > > > treated for it because the testing was so inaccurate. >> > > > >> > > >These infections can cause things that appear on the outside of the skin.

It helps me enormously. How much of this is topical I'll probably never know... Bill seems to think it is a bug and I can't deny there are not bugs because most of us have found some of them. For me, I never found a bug, only fibers and maybe a bug wrapped in a fiber.

Bart especially is known to cause gut issues but the other infections can as well. C- Hope you get some relief soon. Based on my experience and what others have said I do believe the biting sensations and for sure the crawling sensations are nerves malfunctioning. Lyme- borrelia with coinfections causes massive inflammation which effects the nerves. Eventually these sensations change to bad pain as the nerves loose their sheath, then it takes even longer to heal. Don't forget this is going on in the brain as well and causes all kinds of neuro-psych presentations. Treatment really does work. If you can keep doing the samento and banderol, it helps the abx to work even better- per Buhner- reknowned herbalist.

A low dose is 100mg 2 x a day- that is bacteriostatic- keeps them from reproducing.

It kills the mites instantly. Fill into a small spray bottle and whenever you feel a bite, spray it on, rub a bit and see/feel what happens. I used to keep these little bottles in every room of the house. Now there is only one bottle for emergency cases. >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >________________________________ >> > > > >Von: " Goldstein@...

I believe we are getting bit, BUT the attraction to the body is because of the fungal problems. Once bit we get infections. Whatever is biting us is giving us Lyme, co-infections, mycoplasma, whatever. Some people like Doris didn't get any co-infections or Lyme. So not everyone gets it. She moved 3 times I think... and that did it for her, plus sleeping in a bathtub full of water. It is all so perplexing because the Bartonella does cause crawling sensations, scratch marks which are on the surface, and stretch marks, again on the surface of the skin. Lyme disease also causes similar sensations. I think the first time I was infected with Lyme Disease was in the 80's bit while gardening. I got incredibly sick out of the blue, developed what I called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and for a long time, months, I had a sensation of ants walking on the brain (inside the skull). I think that was Lyme, although I did not get >> > > > > treated for it because the testing was so inaccurate. >> > > > > >> > > > >These infections can cause things that appear on the outside of the skin. I'll post a video I watched yesterday of a young woman who got bit by a tick and developed LD. She was in her teens. If you view the video, you can see has dozens of lesions on the skin.

It helps me enormously. How much of this is topical I'll probably never know... Bill seems to think it is a bug and I can't deny there are not bugs because most of us have found some of them. For me, I never found a bug, only fibers and maybe a bug wrapped in a fiber. But it sure is something that infests the house, whether it is a bug or not. >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >Thanks for being there everyone. >> > > > > >> > > > > Re: meds >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >Hi there >> > > > >Thats realy good that doxy may have stopped pin pricking. >> > > > >Do u think ur pin pricks were because of lyme infection n not mites? >> > > > >My pin prick sensations have got worse recently >> > > > >Today about thirty mostly big unpleasant sensations soles,of feet >> > > > >Toes partic second n third toes in both feet >> > > > >Even one on my arm,two on my legs >> > > > >Last night they were bad too >> > > > >Im extremely distressed >> > > > >As got more agressive with treatment recently >> > > > >Eg benzyol peroxide ten days all leg hands feet areas >> > > > >Bathing feet with allsorts every night >> > > > >And yet its got a lot worse >> > > > >I am realy upset >> > > > >Someone else said recently the more they did the worse it got >> > > > >Do people get more pin pricks when they are herxing? >> > > > >I recently bought two secondhand wardrobes to put my newly acquired clothes,bedding into >> > > > >Sprayed nylar inside >> > > > >And yet so scared cant bring self to take things outa bin bags to put into them!!! >> > > > >I would be delighted mentaly if I knew the pinpricks were lyme or co infections >> > > > >Because every time im bitten >> > > > >The thought that its a mite is makin me deeply unhappy!! >> > > > > >> > > > >------------------------------ >> > > > >On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 07:50 PST Linds J wrote: >> > > > > >> > > > >I very rarely post anything but do read all the emails when I have time. I have been on Doxy 300 mg for 6 weeks now along with Diflucan once daily and Nystatin 4 times daily. I haven't had crawlies in months. Pin pricks have stopped as well. 2 days into Doxy I felt some burning which I think is herxing. About 2 weeks into Doxy my joints have all been hurting as well as being nauseous and light headed at times. The Doxy did not stop the crawlies for me as that went away before I even went on it. However, it may have stopped the pin pricking. I do have Lyme and possibly had it for 20 years. >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >------------------------------------ >> > > > > >> > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
