Hi everyone!!-

I stuttered everyday on every word for over a year now.

Wednesday May 4th, I lost my ability to talk again. I was unable to say a single word until May 8th.

The loosing my ability to talk is nothing new. It happens about once a month. It doesn't cycle with my period or full moon or new moon. Although, it does sometimes end up around those times. I have had this happen to me for over a year now. It can last for two-eight days in a row of not being able to say a single word.

Now comes the exciting part! Monday May 9th, I stopped Bactrim and started Clindamycin (150 mg) one capsule daily. (Next week I have to increase). I still stuttered on this day.

Tuesday May 10th, I increased my A-Inflam (Byron White herbal drops) to 13 drops in the morning and 13 drops in the evening. For a total of 26 drops daily.

When I was talking to my dog, I noticed that I wasn't stuttering on every word like I used to!! Please don't think that I am "crazy " for taking to my dog. It is not like I ever expect him to answer my questions. :) I just talk to him for companionship during the day.

I am by no means "cured", but it is an improvement for now! I still have pressure in my head and A LOT of symptoms that would be too long to list. So, for now I will take this Victory!!And I hope that I don't relapse.

I don't think that the Clindamycin could have worked so fast, so I personally think that the A-Inflam has helped this symptom. But who knows for sure? At this point I will take any improvement!!!



yeah yeah

Well, I talk to my cats everyday.....and I'm not crazy (not yet, anyway)

They're part of my family...and they like to hear our voices...

YAY! Congratulations!! turn I too had a terrible time with speech issues - stuttering and more - so I can really appreciate your improvements and relief! And, I believe not only in talking to my critters, but in celebrating each improvement like this!!

I'm so glad that you found it was due to the inflammation, as now you know! Keep on working to find things that control your inflammation more and more to help you further! And best of luck in the rest of your healing!

You are crazy in the best way for talking to your dog! All the cool kids do it.

That's amazing news! Keep your immune system as strong as you can - support your gut like CRAZY because Clindamycin is pretty hardcore and killing bacteria - good and bad bacteria. Eat healthy, don't go too low carb or too high carb (but you do need carbs for energy), rest up but don't atrophy. Make sure you are detoxing - breathe, drink water, check your lymph glands often, sweat, make sure you're going to the bathroom (try coffee enemas if you must). Ultimately, the antibiotics will help you kill the infection, and help you buy time to really get your body immune-ready. Yay! Glad you've found something really helpful.

Hi Girlie!-

Thank you for your response! And to let me know that you also talk to your furry friends! ;)

----------------------------------

Hi Traveler!-

Thank you for your response!

Since I stuttered daily for over a year, I was starting to wonder if I would ever be able to speak the way I used to.

I think that you are correct about the inflammation and I will continue to slowly increase my A-Inflam. My LLMD wants me to get up to 40 drops a day.

------------------------------------

Hi itsnotjustlyme!-

Thanks for making me giggle! :)

And for reminding me to not let my guard down and continue eating healthy, resting, and detoxing.

------------------------------------------

Hi PeteZa!-

Thank you for your response!

I would also talk to my plants, if I had some. I am a "plant murderer"! Not by intention, but I just don't have a "green thumb "!

-----------------------------

Hi bluelyme!-

Do you stutter everyday? Maybe, if you try some herbs or something to get the inflammation in your body down?

Do you have a LLMD?

If you do, what do they think might be causing it?

My LLMD said it was a herx symptom that she saw in a lot of her patients.

--------------------

Thank You All!

YEHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!! Mulitfacetedme - you're too funny!! turn
Posted 6/12/2016 1:32 PM (GMT -5)
Hi little bear. Are you still using the A-Inflam? Is it still working? I'm thinking about getting it. I'm getting really desperate.
Posted 6/12/2016 1:46 PM (GMT -5)
Ditto on the YEEEHAAAAWWWS!!!

Awesome progress. And I totally agree the inflammation control is key - my recent appt w/ my neurologist confirms this. I'm also going to look into A-inflam - I am on other BW tinctures that I like.

And I think if we didn't talk to our pets, they would think it odd. They don't care at all what we're saying, as long as we are saying it to THEM.

LB,

I always talked to my pets! I never thought I was crazy, but in retrospect....! Lol

This must feel huge for you! I am so happy for you!

Fortunately, I only stuttered for the last few months of my abx trial and about one month past the time I stopped - but I was having such severe symptoms otherwise. The stuttering and the seizures that started are what told me pharma abx were not the way for me to heal - of course, this was also before it was known how much we need to help our bodies detox too. Once I stopped the pharma abx and spent a good deal of time detoxing, things calmed down enough for me to consider trying treatment with herbs only.

Funny - it's never dawned on me to NOT talk to my pets! Mine LOVE to be spoken to (even my goats!), and the more often the better as far as they are concerned! LOL!

Now, plants are another story. Put them outside in the garden, and I have no problems turning out a wonderful garden, full of produce. Put it in a pot and it will surely die around me!! LOL! I have ONE plant (a Philodendron) that has survived 16 years with me and that's it! LOL!

I talk to my cats all the time...and they talk back.

The other day my cat was talking in her sleep...and then she woke up and was calling out for me. I think she had a nightmare.

awesome news, LB!

Heehhee --
Girlie, your cats are probably saying, "DETOX. Detox, detox, detox!!"

I talked to that %@#! rabbit in the back yard as he was chewing on some new evergreens.

Ok, I actually cussed at him, so it doesn't count I guess.
Posted 6/12/2016 5:43 PM (GMT -5)
Fantastic news LB!!!! So very happy for you!!! turn turn turn
Posted 6/12/2016 7:55 PM (GMT -5)
That's great news! I stutter once in awhilr. Usually happens for a couple days every 4 weeks or so. Started in February, had a seizure after the stuttering turned to slurring and almost unable to talk. Able to talk but no one could understand me.

Thankfully no more seizures, but once a month my body decides to just blank out and the stuttering starts and then comes the terrible body rocking.

I've NEVER had a stutter in my 31 years, ever. Docs told me it's all in my head........conventional medicine knows nothing, so they blame the patient.

Hi PantsFace - I just wanted to let you know that I responded to your other post.

You're not the only one who has been told the symptoms are all in our head...ridiculous.
Posted 6/13/2016 6:48 AM (GMT -5)
Thanks Girlie, you are great!!! Keep trucking Little Bear, any improvement is wonderiful
Posted 6/13/2016 8:03 AM (GMT -5)
Several years back I began the clinda drug & within just a few days it was miraculous (like the movie, "Awakenings"). But crapola (pun) due due side effects, I had to stop.

As for furry creatures, they are the best & talking with them is pure sanity! Yay- for your verbal improvement!!

YAY LIL'BEAR!! Amazing news!! I, too, think Byron White products are life savers - the A-Bab and A-Bart have been keeping me afloat for over 2 yrs. now. P.S. I talk to nature all the time!

Thank you all for your responses and support!!!

Thank you: multifacetedme, Bat 03, Pirouette, Denikeef, Traveler, Girlie, Astroman- Ha Ha Ha I yell at the chipmunks on my bird feeder, Mister Mike, Pants Face, happyjo- I might be having an allergic reaction to Clindamycin so I don't know if I will be able to continue with it also, and needhelp4!!!

Thank you All!!!💛

-----------------------------------------------

Hi Bat 03!-

I am still taking the A-Inflam. I am currently up to 20 drops in the morning and 20 drops in the evening. Total 40 drops a day.

I'm on Antibiotics, Antifungals, Supplements, and Byron White Formulas.

The A-Inflam is the only thing that I have taken; since starting treatment, that I have not herxed on! :)

I told my LLMD "I wish that I could drink the whole bottle of A-Inflam". It was as if my body was telling me that I really needed this.

I am still talking normal for almost 5 weeks now!! I haven't stuttered at all and I haven't lost my ability to talk!!! This has been my only improvement that has continued to last this long. I'm very great full for this improvement, but now I want the rest of my symptoms gone!, just like everyone else here.

I have an appointment with my LLMD soon. I want to ask her about more supplements that can also help with inflammation.

Best Wishes!

Hi Pants Face!-

Welcome to our community. I am so sorry that you also have Lyme disease. I hope you stay around and ask any questions you might have. There are a lot of friendly and knowledgeable people here. Everyone here has helped me so much since I joined! :)

I also had a couple of seizures. One seizure I had before I knew that I have Lyme and a couple of seizures since starting treatment.

I also never used to stutter until I started treatment.

Don't listen to the conventional medicine Doctors. They know absolutely Nothing about Lyme disease and co- infections.

Before I knew that I had Lyme, I saw many, many, many doctors. When I would tell the doctor that a medication wasn't helping me, they would say "Why do you think that it is not helping. " I wanted to say "I don't know, you are the doctor. Why don't you tell me why the medication isn't working. "

It is because most doctors don't want to get to the "Root Cause " of what might be happening to me. They just want to give a "quick fix" and throw medication at everyone's symptoms.

If I were you, I would ask your LLMD about A-Inflam, other herbs, or supplements to get the inflammation down in your body. And to detox daily with different methods.

I have Lyme and overgrowth of Candida, which both can cause a lot of inflammation in your body.

Best Wishes!
