Hi Everyone!

I'm almost afraid to post this (knocking on wood right now), but boy, am I feeling good!  My LLMD changed my meds on September 19th (to Rifampin and Zithro) turn and I had some pretty bad herxing for quite a while, but I am suddenly noticing MAJOR improvements these last two weeks!  I am so excited!!!!

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have also been taking Samento and Banderol twice per day on an empty stomach (I'm up to 10 drops of each).  I added these I think a month ago or so.

I am really starting to feel like my old self again!  When I think about it, I get a little scared that I might fall backwards again.  I feel like screaming to the world, "I think I'm getting better!!!!".....

I have my next LLMD appt on 12/14/11 and go over my newest labwork from Igenex.  It will be very interesting to see if my infections have cleared more!!!

YAY!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!  turn tongue yeah

keep on going
,Carrie,

where did you get your samento and banderol?

I'm so happy for you! There is NOTHING like that feeling you get when you finally start to feel like you're getting better, nothing like it at all! Gotta love how different we all are though...I just switched from doxy to zithro a few weeks ago and I've hit a plateau ever since.

Is the rifamptin for Lyme or for coinfections (or both)? I'm not stoked about the combo of meds I'm on right now and rifamptin was one I wanted to push for...although I can't even remember my logic now without my giant stack of highlighted research...

Woo Hoo!! turn Happy dance time!! yeah
CONGRATS!! smilewinkgrin

That is such great news Carrie!! I think you should celebrate a little!!! Turn up the music and dance like no one's watching!!! LOL!

Be careful to not allow the fear of sliding backwards take over, though. I am dealing with this as well, having improvements but a bit nervous about it! How crazy is that!! We need to celebrate our progress!! This is a joyous time and we can't allow this darned ole disease take any more from us!!

Of course there is always the possibility of a little backsliding, but it should only be a temporary thing! For me it's still hard to get through though - I have to fight very hard to not get all depressed about feeling so bad again, even if it's only for one day, but fight I do!!

Many people have experienced increased healing by taking Samento and Banderol - so I'm sure it's helped you as well!

So here's to a little Lyme-butt kicking!! *clink clink go the glasses of 'sparkling' apple juice* smilewinkgrin

Keep up the good work!!!

Good for you, Carrie. Enjoy the wonderful gift of feeling better.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes!

Bucci: I can't remember where exactly I got the Samento and Banderol. I purchased them online and they are made by Nutramedix. If you goggle it, I'm sure you will find it. I do think it has helped me and I intend to keep them up for as long as I'm fighting the battle or maybe even the rest of my life. I'm up to 11 drops of each twice a day (first thing in morning and before I go to bed). I am going to work up to 30 drops of each but I only increase a drop or two every week so that will take a while.

Oh...I just thought of something...don't know if it's made a difference, but I've been going to accupuncture (she is treating my immune system) and then getting a massage right after the treatment now for three weeks in a row....Love it!!!!

Carrie,
I would be very surprised to find out that acupuncture and massage didn't help you out quite a bit! Acupuncture has been proven - through clinical trials - to significantly help with pain, and the massage will always help with relaxing our freaked out muscles!!

Again - I am soo happy that we are both showing such positive signs of healing!! It is truly a wonderful experience, isn't it?

I think we both ought to get on our rooftops and yell at the top of our lungs -
I am getting better!!!! smhair LOL!!
