Do you know that even the western blot is considered to be only 65%

accurate? Lyme MUST be diagnosed clinically. I don't necessarily believe you

are allergic to antibiotics! If your doctor is not Lyme Aware she can easily

misdiagnose you!

Besides abx you can try other mechanisms that are known to kill Lyme. Salt/C

and Rife are 2 well known regimens that work for many folks. Also saunas or

long 104F hot tub soaks!

If it were me I would start one of the other regimens and see if I start

Herxing or not. If there is no disease then there would be no Herx.

Something to think about!

I have allot of data on my CD and I am hopping to have time tonight to make

them and get them into the mail for people. But until then you might want to

read the enclosed pdf! (send seperately)

Kari -

Where did you get the tests done?

Sounds to me like lyme -

In our house - on antibiotics we have pain all over, bad headaches,

chills, stomic cramps, and sleep and sleep and sleep - you have to go

thru it for anything good to happen - my daughter slept for almost

three weeks and now only about 2 days a week - it is different in all

people but this sounds to me like lyme herx - I would bet my cookies on

it. Sorry to hear about your wait for a dr - as we just started

treatment two months ago and with one doctor it was over eight months

wait.........

take care and dont give in as I did and now I suffer more -
