My friend and PT told me she tried to call me as ABC had some type a report about Lyme outbreak in MI just this week.
I am sorry I missed it. I see my doctor Thurs. and plan to go up north for vacation on Friday. I have done pretty well on increased doxyi and diflucan. I have been more tired and had one really bad day emotionally but overall pretty well. I am also using vicks, oil and foot baths in epson salts and peroxide. I have been drinking 8 glasses of water a day - its hard as I live in the bathroom but I think it has to be helping with die off. Improvements - my toes almost look normal - 80 % better. I can't believe it! Mobility is a little bit better as my spasticity is reduced.
People have commeted that my speech is better.
All good news - my only concern is staying out of the sun up north as we plan to go to beach, sand dunes, water park....I am going to ask if I can reduce my doxy dose for a few days, otherwise its the hotel room with a book for me.

Wiggy, I doubt if reducing
Wiggy, I doubt if reducing your doxyi dose for a few days will help any, but a high factor sunscreen and a beach parasol will, then you get the fresh air that you won't in a hotel room.
Have a good time and great news about your foot fungus!...............Sarah

Hi Wiggy, I remember
Hi Wiggy, I remember vacationing "up north" quite well. I hope that you're not stuck in the hotel room and that you have an absolutely wonderful time. I think that Sarah's probably right about not reducing the doxyi. It does make sense. Didn't hear about the Lyme outbreak in MI, either. Am glad that it's making the news. But, have been reading warnings about sunblocks...that many don't work and contain nanoparticle carcinogens: LINK I should have bookmarked the more scientific article that I read, but didn't. Sarah and Michele are right that the best sunblocks are physical, not chemical. Am glad that you upped your water intake. In Dr. Brownstein's book, his formula for water intake is to divide one's weight in lbs, by 2. And that's supposed to be how much one is recommended to drink per day. Am so glad that your feet are clearing up! That your speech is better is amazing, too. I hope that you all have a great time, "up north!" --Minai

Also, Roc face
Also, Roc face sunscreen, which contains zinc and titanium but is quite expensive if you put it on more than just your face. Try covering just your face and hands and wear something like lightweight silk blouse and loose trousers.
In the UK it seems funny to think of people vacationing "up north" and haveing to beware of the sun!.............Sarah

Hi Wiggy, Hope so, too. Am
Hi Wiggy, Hope so, too. Am glad that your Mom found a room. I think my most memorable time "up North" was in the fall, riding horseback on Mackinaw Island. Not so much sun, then. Am learning a lot from Brownstein's book. Gotta wonder if he would prescribe CAPi, like Dr. Stratton does. Maybe your sister knows or could ask. --Minai
