Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I haven't been posting much here lately due to the scrapping and troll-like activity on here. Hopefully that has come to an end now! Here's my story so far: I was diagnosed with ALS a year ago. At that time, I was 36 yrs old with 5 month old twins and a 3 year old. I fought for a 2nd opinion and got one a few months later: Lyme Disease. A pos IgeneX WB test backed that up In December. I was put on high doses of abx in January of this year: 6000mg amoxicillin for 2 months and then IV ceftriaxone for over 7 weeks. I also tried MMS for about 2 months in conjunction with the amoxy but gave up on it because I felt so bad. I now realize that it was abx, not MMS... I went downhill FAST when I went on high doses of abx: I began choking on food, losing the ability to talk, had many bad falls. It was like I was in a never-ending herx that was contributing to my degeneration. I also lost 20 lbs. When I saw my LLMD in April, he told me he wanted to send me back to the ALS clinic!!! I also belong to the ALS-Lyme group and several people on there have had the same issue: abx made everything worse, not better. I believe this is due to the cytokine cascade that happens in some of us when we take abx. Look it up, this is a real thing. It's an inflammatory reaction by the immune system to abx. I took myself off abx 3 weeks ago. Since then, I have been detoxing, following a gluten-free diet and taking small amounts of MMS (2 drop doses 2x/day plus 1 drop dose in 2 cups distilled water for an enema). The only other thing I take for Lyme is homeopathic Ledum. I am no longer having slurred, nasal speech and I have gained 5 lbs back. Yesterday, I was able to shower without assistance for the first time in a few months. I saw my LLMD last Thursday and he was astounded by the change in me and he is no longer sending me back to the ALS clinic. It is early days yet but I think I have turned a corner in my Lyme treatment. I am still very disabled, with limited use of my arms and hands but I have hope that I will regain some use with time. MMS (in low, staggered doses) and homeopathics are the only treatments I have found that do not cause me to feel worse. Abx, herbs and salt/c all seemed to create a negative effect for me. I'll keep you all updated as I continue my journey with MMS! BB/Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
