Byron White Formulas
I would love to get off of antibiotics. I am not getting better. I feel as though I am getting worse.
I have managed to fund raise a bit so I had some money & I had to choose. Should I get the bags of sodium chloride (minimum $135) for my IV rocephin or should I get the herbal treatment that many people say helped them more than antibiotics? I don't feel as though I am getting better being just on rocephin & oral biaxin so.....

How Lyme Disease Changed My Relationship with Nature
Great video a Twitter friend made. She shared it with me but I was unable to "embed" it and share it with you! Now I can. Please watch it. Share it with your friends & family. Let's do our best to kick off May Lyme Awareness Month!!!! Let's change things NOW! And let's learn to understand each other. Great job Croneslesbo!!
April
This past month has been very hard on me emotionally. I am getting close to 2 years in treatment & being sick. I have been getting worse. I KNOW in my gut it is because I have co-infections that are not being treated. My CD 57 is high & has been high for a year, yet I am not improving. This HAS to be co-infections. My doctor won't treat me for Bartonella, which I suspect & have symptoms of. I asked for Rifampin after Burrascano's last talk. Rifampin treats Bartonella & it may also act as a cyst buster. So a double whammy for me! I can't take traditional cyst busters (flagyl or tinidazole) due to an allergy. I was very disappointed at my last appointment.
I need to get an MRI on my brain

Found the actual 'Cowden Protocol'!
Okay Lyme Friends. After much digging & scouring the internet, I finally found the actual protocol. This is the most recent protocol version (dated) 02.23.11 I posted it to my Lyme Store last night. I am investigating both Cowden & Byron White. Leaning more towards Byron White, however I hear great things about a couple of the Cowden Herbs. Particularly the
Lauricidin Herx
Since I got out of the hospital, I still have yet to get back on all my medications & supplements. My nightly ritual of taking Lauricidin
stopped. I was up to something like 35 pellets a night. Nearly half a scoop. So it's been over a month.
Today I feel HORRIBLE.

New Biofilm Busting Protocols For Chronic Lyme Disease | Jenna's Lyme Blog
Explaining Biofilms
Below is an AMAZING article explaining Biofilms. It is also very long. I suggest reading it, then printing it and bringing it to your doctor! Hopefully your doctor will read it.
"Biofilms form when bacteria adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments and begin to excrete a slimy, glue-like substance that can anchor them to all kinds of material."
Here is another excellent article from Jenna's Lyme Blog.

Enzymes that are believed to break up biofilms. You may not take these if you have blood clotting problems or are on blood thinners!

I found this post quite interesting! Hope it helps some of you....
I am having a really rough time emotionally lately. I wonder if it is just April. I hope people are feeling good and staying positive. I am trying. Still searching for answers.....

Online Book Club
My friends & I started an online book club on Facebook. If you are on Facebook & would like to join, please do so! This is a non-lyme group, however we have a lot of "LymeHeads" in the group as of now (it's still new). Here is the link to the group:
For the month of May, we have selected a suspense/mystery novel to represent
May Lyme Disease Awareness Month!!

Lyme PSA's from last year.
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month
This was really fun to do and all the people were wonderful. It was nice to see Nani & Ashley (of Lymenaide) & Z.S. again. This is where I met Bev Feldman (author of Lyme Sucks), she was operating the teleprompter.
There are a lot more videos from several celebrities that Ashley wrangled up. You can go to Lymenaide's YouTube page to view more. I just kept getting lost.

Protocol
I just added a tab to the top of the page that shows my current protocol. It's not a very good protocol and I plan to change things up. I wish I had help. That is all I am taking right this second. Not even taking supplements. I will start all my supplements up again. I have been really down in the dumps & not caring and almost in "giving up" mode. I am sick of the struggle. I am sick of being alone I am sick of feeling like I am going crazy.
Helping people makes me feel better. It's my job....
Oh ya, I am in need of IV Administration sets (tubing). If anyone has any that they do not need, will you please let me know? Thank you!

Mixing Meds is BAD! (TMI)
WARNING: This post contains TMI.
I spent the evening and night two nights ago puking my brains out. It started out much worse though. I was in a lot of pain that day felt horrible (lyme cycle, day 1). I took my usual swallow of pills, Biaxin (antibiotic), GalaChrom (supplement), Lithium Orotate
(supplement for mood and to protect brain cells), and Milk Thistle (Liver/detox). I take them together all the time. People say Biaxin is hard on their stomachs, but I have never had a problem popping it on an empty stomach. I ate a greek yogurt and about an hour before.

Oh Lyme Cycle, how do I love thee?
My Rendition of a Beautiful Sonnet
I love how you make my head & neck hurt
I love how you make my body ache
I love how you make my face squish up like an old woman
I love how you make it so I can't fend for myself
I love how you make me dizzy
I love how you make me so weak, it hurts to walk
I love how you make my insides hurt
I love how every noise sounds like it's screaming in my ear
I love how you make me grumpy & agitated
I love how you leave me helpless
I love how lonely you make me feel......
Now you know what to do....
