Hi,

Also when I take my 600mg of magnesium a day, they are less frequent.

The boil thing could possibly be something else. I had them everywhere for a

year. Had to have them drained and return to the doctor 3-4 times a week

(what a hassle) It ended up as a internal strep infection, they never found

the cause. But once they were drained and lots of different antibiotics they

haven't come back. Keep your fingers crossed.

Good Idea

Thats what my dr. did. I didn't have Lyme then at least no one thought of it,

but my culture came back the type of strep you get in hospitals after surgery.

I hadn't had any surgery for years. We have never been able to trace it back

to anything.

Oh my God!!!! I thought I was just becoming totally paranoid about the boil

thing!

I keep getting boils on my belly, under my breast, on my butt, thigh, and in

more

sensitive areas still!!!!! I have one HUGE one there as we speak! It is just

amazing how whenever something happens to one of us, sure enough, it happens to

someone else as well! But this boil thing I really thought was something else

entirely!

How much more fun can this disease get????????????

I NEVER thought about that! I am going to have the doctor check that out on

Sat! You might really be onto something with that!

Amy,

I'm having a lot of lower back pain also. I wake

up frequently in the middle of the night, unable

to roll over until I can grab the edge of the bed

and pull myself over. It's very painful. Once I

sit up it's better. My chiropractor advised moving

my feet rapidly in and out (toes toward each

other, then outward) while lying on my back, and

pressing my low back into the bed. this helps

break the immediate spasm sometimes.

There's a good yoga stretch that helps release the

chronic pain sometimes:

Get down on hands and knees on the floor. Put your

face closer to the floor and stretch your arms

out in front of you with your hands flat on the

floor, and then SLOWLY sit backwards on your

heels, but keeping your face and arms close to the

ground. You should look like you're bowing down in

worship. Rest like that and take a few slow

breaths, with your butt on your heels and your

arms still stretch out on the floor in front of

you.

This really helps stretch out those tight muscles

in my low back and butt when they spasm. Just move

slowly and gently and don't hold your breath. Only

go as far as you can without pain.

I wonder --

has anyone ever had one these boils cultured to

see what's inside them? I wonder if you would find

Bbs?

Hi Amy,

About two weeks ago I had a boil under my left breast, on the breast

itself, the underside of it, really weird....I still have it but it is

healing. As a child I used to get these often, (mostly on my butt if I

recall) my Great-grandmother would put a tea bag on me and then some black

salve (anyone remember that stuff?) My grandmother told me that my blood

was too thick and that's why I would get the boil, not sure if that was an

old wives tale or not.

As for your spinal pain, hopefully it is just one of the odd aches and

pains we are prone to get and it will disappear soon, but if it continues

you may want to ask your doc for a MRI...I try to wait about a month before

I ask for one, I had lumbar pain for a while, and when I got the MRI, it

showed nothing, and the pain was gone as well. I am not sure about your

other question about Babesia only, no Lyme. Hope someone can answer this

for you.

Hugs,

Marta
