Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi, Joanne, Your symptoms may be CNS (central nervous system - brain & spinal cord), or they may be peripheral (nerves outside the CNS). It's hard to know for sure. I have read (don't remember where) that Lyme can get to the CNS within 12 hours of a tick bite. So I would assume it is there, whether it is causing symptoms or not. I have not had carpal tunnel syndrome, but have had thoracic outlet syndrome (which is frequently misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel), and now have adhesive capsulitis. So, yes, that can certainly be a manifestation of Lyme disease. Did anything happen in January to set it off? Illness or injury or steroids or surgery or a big emotional event? Just curious. Mine was very, very mild until I had surgery plus a steroid. Then Boom. Best of luck with it. I hope you get in to see an LLMD soon. D. jojeanle1 <jojeanle1@...> wrote: , I live in Pennsylvania. And I am dilligently searching for a doc. I'm currently on a waiting list for a couple around this area. Let me ask you something, how do you know if its in your spinal fluid. I think it is, because I get a stiff neck, and I have tingling sensations on my face, my hands and feet tingle sometimes, and I get stabbing and burning sensations all over my body. Thanks for the advice on the sauna, I belong to the local Y, and Im going to start going in the sauna an hour a day with the abx im on until i can get to a llmd. I hope this does ramp up the effeciency of the abx. Also, do you have carpel tunnel type symptoms, I do, and I dont know if Im late stage disseminated, or chronic at this point. MY symptoms started in January(with a vengence) But I dont know how long I might of had it before than. Thanks, Joanne --------------------------------- Want to start your own business?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 nancy, Yeah, before all the weird symptoms hit I was on phentermine (stimulant) for weight loss for about a month, I got off it cause my heart rate went up to 120 just sitting. I discontinued the med and went on Atkins, and thats when it all blew up. My heart rate stayed elevated for 3 months, and I had palpatations, I thought it was the drug or diet, but it was lyme comming in to full form, then materializing throughout my body. My deltoid muscles were so weak that when they put the tournaquett on to draw blood, I screamed with pain, then he put me on doxy, within one day of being on it, my delts calmed down, but they still bother me now and again. I knew right there I had something that needed antibiotics. Im taking the doxy now, and Im noticing alot of muscle twitches in my calves, but I didnt have the herx reaction like I did when I first started doxy initially. what is adhesive capulitis?, and thoratic syndrome??

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hi, Joanne, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. Thoracic outlet syndrome is when the blood supply and/or the nerve supply to the arm and hands is partially blocked. You get a painful shoulder with limited movement, pain and tingling down the arm, possibly into the hands & fingers. It can be cold, numb, etc, depending on what is blocked where. Sometimes you get shooting, stabbing pains. Adhesive Capsulitis is when the actual joint capsule gets shrunken and fibrotic, and forms adhesions to the bone. This can be excruciatingly painful. Both seem related to Lyme. At the last hearing for Dr , I met quite a few people who had one or the other or both. But both can be treated conventionally with PT, or by a very good massage therapist.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 , Have you or anyone else heard of Malerone (sp?) for Babesia? I am on 200mgs Doxi orally now, due to the insurance stopping my iv meds...and now I am jumping thru a few hoops to get Malerone approved for Babesia. I had been on abx for 2 and a half years when they tested me for Babesia so it came back negative, so I don't have that leg to stand on for the insurance company. Darn it all! I wish doctors could treat their patients instead of people behind a desk pushing a pencil! Can someone help me? Jackie in NH Re: [ ] new Hi, Joanne, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi, Jacqui, I haven't heard about it, but it looks like it is a combination of the drug in Mepron (Atovaquone), plus Proguanil. I am on Mepron - no side effects, but so far not much gain. I don't know if I have babs or not - like you, negative test after months of antibiotics. Others have had good results with it. The Proquanil is also an anti-malarial. It prevents the babs in the red blood cells from reproducing. Doing a quick search, it looks like Malarone is much less expensive than Mepron. Weird. D.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi , The reason they are putting me on the Mepron is becuz I have the sweats and the pains in my bones. Also the tremors. None of that cleared with a 10 week period of IV Doxi. Did you experience any of the sweats and chills and pains in your bones? Mainly my legs, feet and hands...No side effects from the Mepron at all? No vomitting and stuff? How does it taste? I am hearing some gross things about it...can't wait to hear from you. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi, Jacqui, I have sweats and mild tremors, no bone pain. The stuff I have is flavored, and not at all unpleasant to take. It comes in a bottle. I've been told it also comes in foil packets, and they taste terrible. No nausea. It's really pretty easy, as meds go. At first I had it with Zithromax. The Mepron must be taken with a well-balanced meal, and the Zithromax must be taken on an empty stomach. So I left the Zithromax in the bathroom with a glass of water, and took it in the middle of the night when I woke up to pee. The Mepron, I took with breakfast and dinner. Now I have it with doxy, and I take both with breakfast & dinner. The doxy will make me nauseous if I'm not careful to eat a lot, especially if I drive. So I have to plan the timing more carefully and stuff myself. G'luck with it. I hope it helps. D.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey! Same as me! I like your ideas about taking it with meals together...didn't you hear that taking Doxi reduces the effectiveness of the Mepron? I did...I asked the pharmacist and he looked it up and said no...hope not! How much of each do you take? Thanks so much for getting back to me.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi, Jacqui, No I hadn't heard that, but I did find a reference here: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/mepron.html , and it looks like it is true. *sigh* My LLMD said it was OK when I asked about any interactions. My pharmacist was very up front - he said he was unfamiliar with Mepron, and could not help me beyond the package insert. I asked here, and no one knew of a problem. I haven't been able to reach my LLMD by phone, so I think I will refill my prescription for Zithromax, which I have not taken for two months. I'll go back on that with the mepron until I can speak to him. No point wasting yet another bottle of $$Mepron$$. Thank you very much for mentioning the interaction. OK, amount... I think a tsp of Mepron is 750 mg? And I take it twice daily. The doxy has been 400 mg/day - 200 mg AM and PM. Before that I took the Mepron with Azithromycin, one 500 mg pill daily. I felt just awful on that combo, but I think it was largely because I was doing the maximum dosage of Buhner's core protocol at the same time, and it was just too much for me. My liver enzymes started to rise, I was weak and dizzy with visual disturbances... so I quit everything, then started the doxy and mepron the next week. I have since read that Burrascano says his patients who try to do the herbal protocol along with antibiotics tend to have liver issues, so I think that was probably the problem - not the azithromycin. Guess I'll find out. Life as a lab rat - endlessly entertaining. Thanks again, D. Jacqui <dragonfly2@...> wrote: Hey! Same as me!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Tammy, Last April when I was told I was out of opitons and had to start having joints replaced I sat down and bawled like a baby. I thought I had a few years yet. I was afraid also. I chose to begin with the knees and had both replaced at the same time. I won't say it hasn't been rough, but my surgeon said the hip surgeries will be much easier. Just this week I feel a new me emerging. I'm so glad I had it done. You will find much good advice and a wealth of empathy at this site. I didn't find it until I came looking after surgery when I had unrealistic expectations for recovery. I'm still learning new things at this site that help me. The more you learn, the more confident and comfortable you will be about your surgery. I wish you the very best.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi Tammy ... welcome to this group ... there is great support here. Glad you feel free to share your feelings. I, too, was scared about the replacement and I am anxious about the next one. But I know how much progress I made with the first surgery and am looking forward to being able to walk again -- even if it is with a cane (I currently use a walker - very limited steps).

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 , Mine started at 29 yrs old. I have been an athlete since I as young. I was on a golf scholarship in college. To be told you have arthritis is pretty awful. It took a long time to be diagnosed. I got with a good rheumy and good therapy and reached remission for about 5 years.....no pain, drugs or doctors. Now I am going through it again. I just built a new home on a beautiful golf course. We moved in September and I have not been able to play since. I don't know if it was tougher the first time(because I really thought I wasn't going to make it) or the second time, because I am growing impatient and I know that remission should be coming soon....or is it? That what is making this bout so tough. Try to find a good doctor that has experience with this disease. It takes time, but it will happen. Good luck!
