Wait, are the amalgam fillings the culprit or the silver? My fillings are all, I think, amalgam.kajay From: "Goldstein@..." <Goldstein@...> bird mites Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 8:08 AM Subject: Re: Re: LLMD - First

Good going Aandraya to take that step with the amalgams! I saw profound changes when I had mine out. From: "mitesbegone" <no_reply >bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 10:14:36 PMSubject: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labsI 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.

That is a wonderful list and I think most of us here can appreciate all those things... you have been at this much longer than I have - it is 4 years for me - and I so hope that things start to disappear quickly with treatment so that you can truly get your life back Kajay.

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

The mercury in the silver fillings is not stable despite what most dentists say. But it is controversial... very, in fact. Not everyone seems adversely affected, but if you have serious health problems they do affect us.From: "Kajay109" <morjella@...>bird mites Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 5:38:52 AMSubject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

Wait, are the amalgam fillings the culprit or the silver? My fillings are all, I think, amalgam.kajay From: "Goldstein@..." <Goldstein@...> bird mites Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 8:08 AM Subject: Re: Re: LLMD - First

Good going Aandraya to take that step with the amalgams! I saw profound changes when I had mine out. From: "mitesbegone" <no_reply >bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 10:14:36 PMSubject: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labsI 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.

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

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

HI Kajay!|Sorry to hear about your rough childhood with alcoholic parents. Glad that it ended and that you had good contact with them!|HugsCecilia From: Kajay109 <morjella@...> "bird mites " <bird mites > Sent: Thursday, April

26, 2012 2:28 PM Subject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

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. 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.

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.

It is wonderful indeed ! I have just realized AGAIN how blessed I am for being able to do

all these things again !

Hugs to the both of you

That is a wonderful list and I think most of us here can appreciate all those things... you have been at this much longer than I have - it is 4 years for me - and I so hope that things start to disappear quickly with treatment so that you can truly get your life back Kajay.

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 socket

Being 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 :-)

Dr. Dahler took one half of the amalgams out first, the whole right side of the mouth, bottoms and tops. I had a sensation after that first session like my head was tilted to one side, although it was not. Electrical sensations on that side of the head ceased and two weeks later or maybe longer I was to go in and have the second half of the amalgams removed. Dr. D used a dam (plug put into the throat behind the tongue and really washed everything out really well). Most doctors do not use a dam. He went in order by tooth and I don't know the order... but it took a while to get all my amalgams out, hours. I started to feel less pain in my neck right away and the terrible TMJ I had been experiencing started to go away. I had been in TMJ treatment prior to this... with terrible TMJ.After removal I was on a lot of supplements to help draw out or chelate out mercury (don't know which), lots of vitamins... it was quite an ordeal that I am so grateful that I went through. BUT, I was STILL having some pain near one organ that persisted... it was so strange how that pain in one organ persisted. I went back to Dr. D and it turned out there was a very tiny mercury amalgam he had missed and when we looked at the Chinese acupuncture chart, that particular tooth was energetically connected to that organ. Once the amalgam was removed, the pain went away completely.

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.

It is wonderful indeed ! I have just realized AGAIN how blessed I am for being able to do

That is a wonderful list and I think most of us here can appreciate all those things... you have been at this much longer than I have - it is 4 years for me - and I so hope that things start to disappear quickly with treatment so that you can truly get your life back Kajay.

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 socket

Being 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

Wow. So what kind of fillings did he replace the amalgam (which I also have) with?Kajay From: "Goldstein@..." <Goldstein@...> bird mites Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 11:40 AM Subject: Re: Re: LLMD -

First visit trip report + partial labs

Dr. Dahler took one half of the amalgams out first, the whole right side of the mouth, bottoms and tops. I had a sensation after that first session like my head was tilted to one side, although it was not. Electrical sensations on that side of the head ceased and two weeks later or maybe longer I was to go in and have the second half of the amalgams removed. Dr. D used a dam (plug put into the throat behind the tongue and really washed everything out really well). Most doctors do not use a dam. He went in order by tooth and I don't know the order... but it took a while to get all my amalgams out, hours. I started to feel less pain in my neck right away and the terrible TMJ I had been experiencing started to go away. I had been in TMJ treatment prior to this... with terrible TMJ.After removal I was on a lot of supplements to help draw

out or chelate out mercury (don't know which), lots of vitamins... it was quite an ordeal that I am so grateful that I went through. BUT, I was STILL having some pain near one organ that persisted... it was so strange how that pain in one organ persisted. I went back to Dr. D and it turned out there was a very tiny mercury amalgam he had missed and when we looked at the Chinese acupuncture chart, that particular tooth was energetically connected to that organ. Once the amalgam was removed, the pain went away completely.

Kajay, I know probably none of us had a perfect childhood, mine too was far from

it. But it seemed that after I left home, my parents became a lot better.

Perhaps they were better friends then parents. Mom too was a bit of an

alcoholic and had a mean temper but dad was pretty easy going, but very

possessive and strict. I couldn't have a boyfriend or date until I was 18.

But, once I moved out, my parents became more like good friends. I ended up

taking care of both of them. Mom got Alzheimers and dad took care of her until

he got Lung cancer. I took care of them both in my home until mom passed in

November of 2010 and dad in February of 2011. Exactly 90 days apart. It was

really hard both taking care of them and then letting them go. Took me a year

to really get over it all...and then the mites hit. Life is always full of

challenges.

I think it is important to leave the mite/lyme/bart/morg stories for a bit just

so we know a bit more about each other as fellow humans. We did after all have

lives before this, and God willing, will have them back again soon.

information from others helps us enormously.  I talk to my LLMD today

about my ongoing issues and where to go from here.  I don't know

Minocycline... have not used it.  Sounds like he will treat Lyme first

and not co-infections (maybe you don't have them...).  My doc started on

all of them at once and still don't know how sound that was.  She gave

me scripts for meds and where to buy herbals.

> > > > I wish I had taped my office visit with this doctor. I learned so much

from him but cannot remember it all. Here is what I remember so far. Also, I

have attached an image file showing the results of the lab tests my primary care

practitioner conducted on me in September 2011 (2011 LABS ALL.jpg) as well as

another image file showing the doctor's recommendations for me, the two wet swab

tests he performed in the office, and the lab tests he ordered and that I had

done at LabCorps after the office visit concluded (2012 DOC-LABS.jpg). Will

follow up later and post results. Next office visit is scheduled for two months

from now.

100% due to infection of some kind. 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.

C.ÃÆ'‚ ÃÆ'‚ ÃÆ'‚  Restless Legs

(Minocycline).

D.ÃÆ'‚ ÃÆ'‚ ÃÆ'‚  Severe Spasms in

antibiotics do not work within cells, only outside them, and so will not touch

Lyme.

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.

I think they call it composite. It is white and doesn't last as long. But safer.From: "Kajay109" <morjella@...>bird mites Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 9:14:35 AMSubject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

Wow. So what kind of fillings did he replace the amalgam (which I also have) with?Kajay From: "Goldstein@..." <Goldstein@...> bird mites Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 11:40 AM Subject: Re: Re: LLMD -

First visit trip report + partial labs

Dr. Dahler took one half of the amalgams out first, the whole right side of the mouth, bottoms and tops. I had a sensation after that first session like my head was tilted to one side, although it was not. Electrical sensations on that side of the head ceased and two weeks later or maybe longer I was to go in and have the second half of the amalgams removed. Dr. D used a dam (plug put into the throat behind the tongue and really washed everything out really well). Most doctors do not use a dam. He went in order by tooth and I don't know the order... but it took a while to get all my amalgams out, hours. I started to feel less pain in my neck right away and the terrible TMJ I had been experiencing started to go away. I had been in TMJ treatment prior to this... with terrible TMJ.After removal I was on a lot of supplements to help draw

out or chelate out mercury (don't know which), lots of vitamins... it was quite an ordeal that I am so grateful that I went through. BUT, I was STILL having some pain near one organ that persisted... it was so strange how that pain in one organ persisted. I went back to Dr. D and it turned out there was a very tiny mercury amalgam he had missed and when we looked at the Chinese acupuncture chart, that particular tooth was energetically connected to that organ. Once the amalgam was removed, the pain went away completely.
