Well I mentioned a few weeks ago that when I stopped my antibiotics I had a relapse of symptoms.:-( It happened very quickly... like just a day after ceasing the antibiotics. I started taking them again and just about as quickly as the symptoms had come back they went away! Yay! I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Right now we are in Chicago. I'll post more about that on my other blog when we get home. Holden had his appointment in MO yesterday. The doctor is pleased with his progress. He prescribed some new anbitiotics. He also said he probably doesn't have babesia so we are not going to take those meds anymore (though he isn't sure if it was them that caused the rash). Holden was taking them for 10 days before the rash started and we didn't notice a herx and if he had babesia we would of been able to tell.
Well I'm off to get ready. We have A LOT of stuff to do today.
Just wanted to update about how we are doing.

Hello. I have Lyme too, and I'm going through the exact same thing with the antibiotics; went off them two days ago and feeling it full force. If you don't mind me asking,what antibiotic are you on?
Hi Lauren. I just found out that I have Lyme too. I'm on my first round of treatments. I wonder if Michael J. Fox should still be on antibiotics and if so how would that affect his Parkinson's symptoms? Anyway, I just found your blog and I'm so thankful for it. When did you find out your son has Lyme too? I have 3 kids and am worried I passed it to them...the best to you and your family and hope doctors get smarter about this really quick.

amishsunshine,
I was taking doxycycline, but I've recently switched to amoxicillin. I feel good on both, but amox is definitely easier on my stomach.
gl with your treatment!
hi JG,
Sorry to hear that you have Lyme. I how you do well with your treatment plan.
I've wondered about Michael J. Fox too. I know he did have Lyme in the early 90's, but apparently recovered from it... who knows.
I found out about my son in Sept. 2007 (a few mths. after my diagnosis). Unfortunately I was in denial for awhile and didn't start treatment for him until Dec. 2008. I regret that, but you can't change the past. He is doing good now.
Thanks for coming to my blog. I wish you and your family the best.
Lauren
Hey Lauren,
It's nice to find other bloggers speaking of Lyme openly, looking at the political nature of the disease. I look forward to reading more of your posts.

A close friend of my girlfriend contracted Lyme disease about 2 years ago. She has had a ruff go because the testing came back negative.Which is the case for alot of people in Canada.
I created a blog for her and now she is too sick to blog. She finally started treatment but like I said it's been 2 years.
Would you please tell your lyme disease story on her blog. Become a member and I will make you an author. http://lyme-disease.halifaxhrm.com
that goes for anyone who has a story!
thanks

Lyme disease is scary! Thank you for sharing your experience. I also wanted to share a helpful post on Lyme disease from my derm, Krauss Dermatology, at http://www.kraussderm.com/frequently-asked-questions/lyme-aid
She gives great advice especially if you find a bullseye mark or a tick embedded in you.
I hope this helps other readers.

Hi, I've just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome at the end of 2010 but I could've been falsely diagnosed and just been dealing with Lyme the whole time. It's soooooo complicated...but I made a new blog where I'll be talking about it and stuff so follow me if you'd like.:)
Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis,Shingles, Diabetes,Epilepsy,Infertility, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, the virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because I have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but I still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lupus,Lyme Disease,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma Infectious mononucleosis. .Asthma,Allergic diseases.Hiv_ Aids,Herpe ,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Myelo ,Lung disease,Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis,Dementia.(measles, tetanus, whooping cough, tuberculosis, polio and diphtheria),Chronic Diarrhea,Hpv,All Cancer Types,Diabetes,Hepatitis, I read about him online how he cure Tasha and Tara so i contacted him on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com / . even talked on whatsapps +2348149277967 believe me it was easy i drank his herbal medicine for two weeks and i was cured just like that isn't Dr Itua a wonder man?
