Hubby has lyme now

Girlie I have seen too many that did not treat for years and it took them such a long time to heal. It appears to me that those that treat soon after getting lyme, they heal faster.

So, we are not even waiting for a test. We are going straight to treatment ASAP and maybe he will not get as bad as many do. And maybe heal faster.

Crossing our fingers.

Your husband has minimal symptoms? They aren't getting worse daily? Gosh is he lucky.

My husband has had it for many years....so too late to catch it early.
No, his symptoms aren't getting worse daily.

He doesn't want to treat until I'm better...I think he wants me well enough to take care of him...lol.

Buhner suggests 150 mgs twice a day. I have 60 mgs caps, so I only get 120 mgs twice a day.

Buhner says that it's for memory/cognitive dysfunction and for hypofusion of the brain.

So sorry to hear about your husband. Cats claw is good for tinnitus.

"This study tested the hypothesis that hydrophilic chemotypes of the medicinal vine Uncaria tomentosa (UT) would facilitate recovery of sensorineural functions following exposure to a damaging level of noise. The particular chemotypes investigated were carboxy alkyl esters (CAE) which are known to exhibit multifunctional cytoprotective properties that include: enhanced cellular DNA repair, antioxidation and anti-inflammation. Long-Evans rats were divided into four treatment groups: vehicle-control, noise-only, CAE-only and CAE+noise. The noise exposure was an 8kHz octave band of noise at 105dB SPL for 4h. Outer hair cell (OHC) function was measured with the cubic 2f(1)-f(2) distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) at the start of the study (baseline) and at time-points that corresponded to 1day, 1week and 4weeks post-noise exposure to determine within-group effects. Compound action potentials to puretone stimuli were recorded from the VIIIth craniofacial nerve at 4weeks post-noise exposure to determine between-group effects. Additionally, cytocochleograms were constructed for each row of OHCs from each group. Noise exposure produced significant sensorineural impairments. However, CAE treatment facilitated almost complete recovery of OHC function and limited the magnitude of cell loss. The loss of neural sensitivity to puretone stimuli was inhibited with CAE treatment. Therefore, it appears that the multifunctional cytoprotective capacity of CAE from UT may generalize to otoprotection from acoustic over-exposure."

Thank you Need and not there yet. I gave him a spreadsheet for his herbs and he has his bottles lined up on the kitchen counter......

He is not a whiner like I was. LOL I complained like crazy. He is not talking about it - he says that's his way.

Whatever, but I do need to know his symptoms to see how to treat at some point.

Menz can be stubborn. LOL
