I've Had It Up to HERE!

My trusty pharmacy could no longer get my rocephin at the price they have been getting it for me, so I need to find another supplier.  It's so hard. I am so sick of calling around, getting a new order from my doctor, etc.  It's work, stressful work.  My old pharmacy would send it to me & then bill me.  But now I need to come up with the money up front.  Rent is due tomorrow........

Burrascano Notes from March 21st talk



PLEASE NOTE:  Because the presentation was so dense and rich with information, there may be some info that was left out.




Dr.  Burrascano has treated over 10,000 patients with Lyme since early ‘80s.

“It is up to you. Learn as much as possible. Do as much as possible. Have a positive attitude.”

Dr. Burrascano’s definition of Lyme Disease
“Lyme disease is the illness that results from the bite of an infected deer tick; it’s not one germ.”

 Stages of Lyme

Early Lyme – I

I told you so

Jinx 1-2-3, you owe me a coke!

I'm going to try my sauna and see if that helps.

Jinxing myself

I've been doing really well.  I am herxing a bit, but still getting out & about.  Went to the library yesterday & cruised Walmart for about an hour. The herx hit in Walmart & I wasn't sure I could even walk to my car at the end of the lot.  Got home & I was toast.

If Arizona Senator John McCain has his way, many of the supplements you rely on for good health will disappear. And the cost of the few you can still get will explode in price.

Recovering Well & a 2nd PiCC Line

I bounced right back after surgery.  Pretty happy since in the back of my mind, I was concerned about having surgery with active Lyme.  No problems.  Then I had to go back to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center less than a week later to fix my PiCC line.  Well, I ended up getting a new one entirely.  It was odd because other than the shot of Lidocaine, I didn't feel the first PiCC line at all.  But on this one, I felt the shot (like a bee sting), I felt them pull out my old line (I could feel it in my chest!), and I felt him threading the new one it.  So odd.  It seemed to take a lot longer too.  Although this time I didn't take a valium or ativan before hand.  Been there, done that.

It hurt like heck for about a day or so and now I'm fine, back to normal.  That hospital is so great.

This is my first LLMD.



If I could afford it, I would go back to seeing her and seeing my current doc.....
