I've already said this but when I eat fruits and vegetables I actually feel worse. I don't know why.

Well, the artemisinin is all used up. I haven't noticied much of a difference except for more persistent stomachaches. I see the doc Tuesday. He's gonna give me much stronger antibiotics this time. The artemisinin was a middle-of-the-road approach because he wanted to see how I responded.I will give an update Tuesday after I come back from Santa Rosa, which is a 1.5-2 hour drive.

Once again, you may be experiencing the Herxheimer reaction. (things get worse due to the massive release of the lyme spores in your body), this is usually temporary. I know someone who felt better during these herxheimer reactions by taking benadryl but that is an isolated report.

Keep drinking water and just keep toxins movings, sweating helps a lot as well and its plenty hot out there today to sweat. bandaid is right some times it gets worse before it does get better just the ways things go till you level out.

Justin just called, update: just when things could not get any worse the poor kid was hit in the rear end by a bus. Every one was ok the car's backend is domolished. He will not be able to post till sunday becuase he is moving due to the finacial burden this has placed on him. He's just starting new therapy for the next 6 weeks and we will see how it goes. He just told me that he does not have just one infection, but several that are located in his brain. Just hang in there buddy

don't lnow how quite to word this entry..went to a QXCI practione..it measure the cellular energy in ur body and ish like that..HAN can probably explain it better than I can, given the fact I can't think worth shit and my brain is basically mush right now. U get hooked up to a machine and it reads stuff like hromone levels, stress, diseases, food allergies, etc..Here's a list of some shit the practioner discovered:

1.Perverse energy-listening to music too loud..causing severe damage to nervous system (shit...there goes my subwoofers)

2.Gluten sensitivity(no more wheat for awhile)

3.Sugar is toxic to my body...interesting find...It seems I can't process sugar.

4.I have a Candida infection. Sean, look like I still have it from Auguat when I originally got sick.

5.I have food poisoning (salmonella) from a long time ago;probably when i was just a kid and it still affects me.

6.I am in an extreme state of ketosis...definetly not good.am not digesting protein properly either

7.I am drinking way too much water. says I should no longer drink 1 gallon because it's flushing all the vitamins/minerals out of my body

8. This has got to be one of the most interesting points here. My Lyme Disease came on the machine. They actually pinpointed which bacteria/virus I have out of the possibly 5. It's not babesia, but spirochete borrelia..HOLY SHIT..Now let's see if my Lyme doctor believes this.

9.I am suffering from an extreme form of aftershock...from all of the stress I've dealt with my whole life.


10.This test is 94% accurate..I am not shitting you.

Does the shock hurt? What is that like? How many more sessions of shock treatment do you have to get?

Hey Oak I spent the last hour or more reading this whole post. Sounds like you have many issues going on here. It sounds like you are getting some answers and the last test seemed to be very helpful. Now they just have to treat the issues until they are gone.

As for your breathing troubles I feel its related to panic/anxiety caused by all the stress you are going through. I developed panic/anxiety a few years back. It runs in my family and I didn't get it until I was like 22-23. The only thing I have taken that works for me is Xanax. Its not the doctors first line of treating it but it really works. I took all the SSRI's out there and all of them made it worse for me along with other bad side effects such as increased anxiety, restlessness, inability to maintain an erection, inability to orgasm, and I would clench my jaw all day long.....so long story short see about getting some Xanax, Klonapin, or Valium for the anxiety....it really did wonders for me.

uhh you basically had an ohm reading done on your skin, nothing more. Be very careful with this. Sugar toxicity = diabetes. Are you diabetic? Think to yourself how many questions did they ask you before they hooked you up to the machine? Your bodies not a car engine they can hook up to a single diagnostic computer and find out whats wrong everywhere.



Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.WB Yeats

Whats better to deal with panic attacks and feeling like you are dying, OR takinga a pill and feelings normal all the time? Other then being addicted to Xanax there is no real side effects from it. Its a safe drug compaired to anti-depressants like SSRIs that are full of horrible sides.

I feel that I am dependant on Xanax not addicted. I too hate relying on drugs to be rite, but there might not be any other way. I would say most people that develope panic/anxiety disorders never get rid of them totally...you might get it under control to where you don't freak the hell out too often, but it will always be there....I am to the point where I only take the Xanax when I feel it coming on, and then I am all good...there are days that go by I do not take a single Xanax, and other days when I take all 3 that I am supposed to.

You might as well take the Xanax to calm your mind and relax your nerves from driving you mad....the Xanax will totally chill you out making things seem better because you are not going to dwell on the issues nearly as much...that IMO is relief.

well if you are sure whats going on then by all means you know your body better then anyone....hell the first time I had a panic attack I couldn't breath, catch my breath, bad chest pains, sweating, and started to vomit before I thought it was lights out due to being light headed...I thought it was a heart attack....who knew? Took a ride in the ambulance to the ER expecting the worst. Look up the symptoms of anxiety and panic....it covers just about everything that would scare most people.
