Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Kenda's Dr. helped some of us, I know Cherie has done quite well with him. His name is Dr. Leu, he's in Arkansas and does phone consults - orders bloodwork, etc. Kenda can probably give you his number, but I know if you search him on the internet you'll find him.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi Rogene, Welcome back.....oops, I knew he was in Oklahoma, Lord knows why I typed Arkansas, but thanks for catching that. We're hosting what I'm calling " Our Big Fat Italian Graduation Party " tomorrow and I've been working on this party for months, but this past week has been crunch time. I started taking Ceftin prescribed by the Lyme doctor, and wow did I feel horrible. My toes and fingers started hurting, and I was feeling like I felt when I had implants. I switched to Doxycycline and that's much better. My naturpath said it's possible it was die off or a herx, but I got scared because I took that same medicine twice (actually at least in the same family, I took Keflex) and the second time I took it (after explant) my head seemed to weigh about 100 lbs.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Welcome back, Rogene...missed you. Hope you had a good time. 5 more sleeps until my surgery! YAY!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Sis, I hope you're feeling better with the change in antibiotics! . . . There are times when is really difficult to tell a herx from a reaction . . . Changing meds was a smart move! I can't tell you how thrilled I am when I see you're back among the living! . . . I remember when you were sooooooooo sick! It's going to be a lot easier getting through this! Hugs and prayers, Rogene . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Rogene, It dawned on me when I took the medicine and my symptoms got bad again how far I really have come since explant in November, especially since I've been taking a probiotic. My fingers and toes started aching all over again, and I had a nagging feeling that I should not take this medicine - the same kind of feeling I had for the last few days before I got implants - something screaming out " don't do this " . The real test is going to be when it gets cold again, because my joint swelling was really bad over the winter. We had a huge party for my stepdaughter yesterday, over 100 people (yes, she's a bit spoiled!) and I was truly the hostess with the mostess - I thought about how well I was keeping up with the very fast pace of serving the food, greeting the guests, running back and forth from the tent to the house all day long (I wear a pedometer and clocked 30,000 steps yesterday) making sure everything was running smoothly, and managing to take pictures of just about everyone there. People were commenting on how I was able to juggle so much at one time, and I thought " if only they knew that a year ago I was falling apart " . I am thankful to be one of the lucky ones who has great doctors who listen to me, and do not tell me " it's not the implants " . I went to a few specialists who did that, but honestly I've been so lucky to have my regular doctors thinking that maybe it's possible. After a week off to prepare for this party, I am looking forward to going back to work. I actually miss it there, I think as you said, I am among the living now, and when I was out of work I felt so isolated. I enjoy being with people and learning my new job.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Sis . . . Congradulations on pulling off such a big party! . . . Wow! you have made huge strides! I bet your hubby was one thrilled man . . to see you doing so well, as well as watching his daughter grow up! I remember when he was giving you a bad time over getting your implants out! I hope you realize that you're providing the encouragement that many women who come here for the first time need so badly! . . . Thanks so much for sticking around after you started getting so much better! . . . . Please do continue with probiotics though . . . even if it's a very low dose . . . then gradually up it as long as the herxes aren't bad. . . I suspect that you're much like Kathy . . . She had a hard time detoxing too. Look at it as sending soldiers in to clean out the enemy . . .the herxes are the battles they're fighting! . . . Working on things that help flush the liver (Milk thistle for one), could help. Be sure and stay with a very good diet too! . . . It can be really tough when you're really busy! . . .

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Rogene, Thanks. I couldn't abandon the site that helped me find my way out of the mess implants got me into, and I wanted to give back. It's definitely tough to eat healthy working the kind of hours I work - I don't do as good as I should, but I'm careful to avoid sugar and processed foods (I noticed when I had some cake at the party, my heart started racing). The probiotics are actually one thing I didn't herx to, I started out very slowly on them and worked my way up. The antibiotics are what brought my symptoms back on, and right away! However, I unfortunately have to take them because of the tick bite, but at least I switched to another type. I wanted to take regular old antibiotics after I saw the side effects of the cyclosporins that were originally prescribed to me, and since they made me feel crummy right away I didn't want to take the chance.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Sis! . . . I forgot it was the antibiotics that made you feel bad! . . . I was afraid it was the probiotics! . . . And you're right . . . eating right when you're taking antibiotics is terribly important! . . . The problem is that certain antibiotics are better at targeting specific organisms than others . . . Maybe you need to talk to your doctor about the abx . . You want to be sure the one you're taking will knock out lyme. Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
