I haven't posted much and my last blog update was in May of this year. I wish the reasons were because I was enjoying a recovery and had my health back, but it's not.   I now join the ranks of some of the others here who came to this site about the time I did.  

Last week I had Bioenergetic Testing done which indicated I have:  Bartonella Henselae, Babesia Nosodes, Mycoplasma Fermentes, Borrelia Burgdorferi and high levels of systemic yeast (as well as EBVⁱ, HHV-6 and CPNⁱ) -- "my elephants" and reasons for not recovering. 

What if I'm healing quickly?

I feel like I am living a miracle.  After 25 years of interstitial cystitisⁱ and fibro, the CAPⁱ has me basically well within 4 months. I had the high antibodies for cpnⁱ. I had started Cortef for adrenal exhaustion and thyroid meds for Hasimotos...so I was already about 70% well from tackling those issues.

I contacted Dr. Stratton and he gave me his protocol (doxyⁱ, Biaxon, Flagylⁱ) and I seem to be healing quickly.  I tried stopping after 2 months and the pain came back in 10 days....it was horrible!  I just finished 2 more months and am commited to going at least 6 full months.

This is probably going to be fairly long since it's my first blog entry.

I started an empirical CAPⁱ in October on suspicion of a Cpnⁱ infection, as my 10 years worth of symptoms find a ton that fit in with a Cpn infection. Not long into starting, I went through a series of old symptoms that hadn't bothered me in years that reminded me that way back at the start of all these symptoms, I had legitimate concern of a lyme or other TBD infection. Bullseye rash, joint pain, muscle twitching, sore throat, increased floaters and neck pain. I saw my doctor about all of that, but it was explained away. Anyway, maybe 2 weeks into the CAP, I re-experienced all of that except the bullseye rash.

This is the news:  In England, possible antibioticsⁱ to be sold over the counter, to treat CHLAMYDIA!

This is the story form http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/aug/06/health

Oral antibiotics are to be made available for the first time without doctor's prescription under guidelines approved yesterday by the medicines regulator.

A pill to treat chlamydia, the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection, will become available for purchase in pharmacies across England later this year.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I was not able to locate information referencing contraindications to my Rx topicals.

Please pardon me if this is covered elsewhere.

I'll start with a bit about where I'm at and have been.

Mental

I'm a graphic designer who works from home. I have a happy homelife and a positive worklife. I believe that i am a healthy person, I just do not physically feel like one. I have long suspected that everything I experience is tied together, so am really happy to see this Web site. I want to live my life again: I want to go outside into the sunshine; ride a bike; shop in a store!



Physical
