It's the mercury in those fillings that is very toxic, especially if you have Lyme. I just had the last of mine removed, if you do it make sure you get a dentist who specializes in this.AandrayaOn Apr 25, 2012, at 5:17 PM, mitesbegone <no_reply > wrote:

Yes, they were. My dentist did not say anything to me about it as far as being a problem. I wondered about it since as soon as I got the fillings I had my whole mouth well up with an abscess in my jaw. Almost spread into the bone. Oh no...I guess I need to research this. Any idea where to start. I know my dentist is going to be tough. I don't think I like them very much anyway. I swore I would not go back to them. Dang! Thanks for letting me know.

That is a consideration for me as well. Plus Ativan made my dad go from his usual friendly self to a madman clawing the paint off the walls.

I do. Thanks, Terry :-) From: mitesbegone <no_reply > bird mites Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 12:31 AM Subject: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

Oh Kayjay, I am so sorry that on top of everything you are suffering with a bad case of RLS. It drives me crazy when it happens. I don't take anything specifically for it. But I take so many things, perhaps one of them is helping. I did recently stop some of my supplements because I left them at my house. The RLS kicked up then so perhaps I am taking something that is helping. But which something?? I have not a clue. I sure hope the Lyme treatment contains your RLS as well.

If it happens so often, could you not just take the Requip every evening about an hour before bedtime?

In particular, it has been shown to delay motor alterations, inflammation and apoptosis in models of Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Despite controversies about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to patients with schizophrenia. The results of this trial suggested that minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications, and that augmentation with minocycline may prove to be a viable strategy for "boosting" antipsychotic efficacy and

are to your family and to us here.

I had heard that, but it might be only addictive at high dosages...I don't know

that, just guessing. My dad took it some times and it really knocked him out,

even when we split the pills to lessen the dose. But he had lung cancer and I

was never too worried about the addiction end of things for him. But perhaps a

conversation with a pharmacist would help.

 You are very thorough too in what you sent, including attachments!  I'm

enormously. Â I talk to my LLMD today about my ongoing issues and where to go

from here. Â I don't know Minocycline... have not used it. Â Sounds like he

will treat Lyme first and not co-infections (maybe you don't have them...). Â

My doc started on all of them at once and still don't know how sound that was.

Possibilities: staph, yeast, mycoplasma, tuberculosis, other. I asked why

Evening Primrose Oil controls. He asked what form I take. " Capsules. " Said EPO

has antibiotic properties. Agreed it does not cure the infection though since I

have to keep going back to the EPO to control the night sweats when they return.

I would have to ask my dentist I guess. They were put in last year. I had two

fillings. They told me I could use the porcelain or the silver. They didn't

give me any warnings about the silver. Since they were in my back molars I just

said silver as the the porcelain was so much more expensive.

I had read a bit about this and thought it was kind of downplayed as an over

reaction on the part of some dentists. But I will nevertheless pursue finding

out what type of silver it was. I thought all of the newer fillings were an

amalgam of silver, copper and tin (not sure exactly of the components)..but did

not think there was any mercury. Gosh, I need to check. I know with Lyme there

is a concern of heavy metals.

Well, one step forward two back as it were. It is good that your husband did not

have to restrain you. I know some of these meds can make you do some crazy

things. My dad was taking Elevil when he woke up and screamed at my mom and

tried to choke her to death. Apparently she was some kind of demon in his

dream. He stopped that immediately.

It's not something to use on a daily basis long term, bu many LLMDs use it to calm the overactive nervous system caused by Lyme. If taken as prescribed it is an extremely helpful med. If the body becomes dependent on it you wean yourself off of it. People with chemical dependency should probably avoid it. AandrayaOn Apr 25, 2012, at 11:09 PM, Goldstein@... wrote:

about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led

to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of

minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we

administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to

100% due to infection of some kind. Possibilities: staph, yeast, mycoplasma,

tuberculosis, other. I asked why Evening Primrose Oil controls. He asked what

the night sweats when they return.

about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led

to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of

minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we

administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to

[Guest guest]

Many meds have problems. I have to be careful because of my pain meds. When I

don't take them...OOOH EEE that is vicious. Found out the hard way when I

stopped taking them for a couple of days as I had the stomach flu. Just

couldn't keep anything down. Next thing I knew I was climbing out of my skin,

body was jerking and flailing. Had to go to the ER and have 4 people hold me

down so they could shove an IV in me. So not a good thing!!! So respect the

meds! They are helpful, but go easy into any deal you strike with them.

What is RLS?

Cecilia

From: Kajay109 <morjella@...>"bird mites " <bird mites > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 3:56 AMSubject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

Mine is miserably intense. If I forget my Requip and the jumping starts, it takes me an hour of walking around for the Requip to kick in. I have to take it at least a half hour before the Seroquel. Otherwise, the Seroquel magnifies the symptoms.

I sure hope the RLS is related to the Lyme and that whatever my doc has me do also gets rid of the RLS.

So glad you have a mild case.

So sorry Cecilia. Sometimes I get a little too acronym happy. RLS is Restless

In particular, it has been shown to delay motor alterations, inflammation and apoptosis in models of Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Despite controversies about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to patients with schizophrenia. The results of this trial suggested that

minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications, and that augmentation with minocycline may prove to be a viable strategy for "boosting" antipsychotic efficacy and for treating schizophrenia. The present review summarizes the available data supporting the clinical testing of minocycline for patients with schizophrenia.

After my parents both got sober (when I was 15), my mom got addicted to Elavil. After she died in 2011, I found prescriptions and prescription bottles for Oxycontin going back to 1997. I think my Dad stayed clean till he died in 2008. Except when the hospital ignored the note from his doc NOT to give him Ativan, and did - he had had his first big stroke and so he could not talk kept ripping his IV and catheter out - with painful results of course - right in front of us. I stayed with him one of the two nights before he was transferred to Warm Springs and tried not to sleep because he was so SNEAKY and I knew he didn't care if he hurt himself. I also knew they were going to reinsert the IV and catheter, so the poor sweetie was fighting a losing battle.

The next day I left my Doritos too close to him and he stole them and started choking due to the effect of the stroke on HIS facial muscles, the same set of muscles that helped my LLMD to diagnose me with Lyme. My dad recovered but I thought my mother was going to hit me over those Doritos :-) Off topic completely, he lived nine years after that, with Mom caring for him constantly.

Well, one step forward two back as it were. It is good that your husband did not have to restrain you. I know some of these meds can make you do some crazy things.

Things I am looking forward to:Being able to sleep in the same bed with my husband again.A house not covered in borates.Strappy sandals.Skirts.Shorts.Swimming in a pool.Getting my hair cut professionally.Not having to spray myself with cold liquids.Not having to bathe in too hot or too cold water.Not having to experiment with smelly or potentially dangerous chemicals.Not having to lice comb every night of my life (for well over a decade now - but it has helped keep my life manageable)Not having to take medication to turn my skin off so I can rest(Now that I know

it is a possibility, thanks to Aayandra) Being able to sit down without my big toe feeling like it has been stuck in an electrical socketBeing able to unpack some of the books that have been put away in bags and boxes with menthol crystals, and knowing that I will never have sinus trouble when I read :-)The list could be MUCH longer, but you know this stuff already :-)Kajay From: mitesbegone <no_reply > bird mites Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 1:18 AM Subject: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

And I thank God for your recovery. Enjoy those sandals. It is the little things in life that sometimes make a big difference.

In particular, it has been shown to delay motor alterations, inflammation and apoptosis in models of Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Despite controversies about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to patients with schizophrenia. The results of this trial suggested that minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications, and that augmentation with minocycline may prove to be a viable strategy for "boosting" antipsychotic efficacy

Restless Legs Syndrome, which I have suspected was related to the Morg, but which Aayandra says will probably go away with my Lyme treatment. Hallelujah! From: Cecilia Borg <ceciliaborg@...> "bird mites " <bird mites > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 4:00 AM Subject: Re:

What is RLS?

Cecilia

From: Kajay109 <morjella@...>"bird mites " <bird mites > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 3:56 AMSubject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

Mine is miserably intense. If I forget my Requip and the jumping starts, it takes me an hour of walking around for the Requip to kick in. I have to take it at least a half hour before the Seroquel. Otherwise, the Seroquel magnifies the symptoms.

I sure hope the RLS is related to the Lyme and that whatever my doc has me do also gets rid of the RLS.

So glad you have a mild case.

I have RLS as well, which can be so irritating when trying to sleep. But it isn't chronic thankfully. Just intermittent hits. About once or twice a month for a couple of days each time.
