I'm on a new diet that is w/out chemicals and preservatives and other crap like that but I have had no relief so far. It's not that it's as bad as it was six months ago, but it's not as good as it was a couple weeks ago. I don't know what happened during that time except my hormones changed. it has to be hormone related. I just don't know what I can do about it. maybe I'll try some herbs to balance my hormones and see if that works. I'll check into it. meantime, the Lyme doc needs to get w/ it! what is taking them so long?? I went outdoors last weekend and I was in tall grass and I was so paranoid about ticks. I was telling a friend about your situation and I had them check me for ticks twice! Well, are the antibiotics helping you feel better at all? ttyl

hi. the antibiotics are for the bladder infection that was detected by the broth culture by United Medical lab. I am on augmentin alternating with amoxicillin.
I haven't seen the Lyme doctor yet. I dropped off my medical records a week ago and he hasn't looked at them yet. I have no idea how long it will be before I see him but I suspect quite a while  I'm glad you were feeling better for a while, that's a good thing! I am still feeling really crappy. My bladder is not improving at all

hi suffering. was that part of your recommended treatment or did you find something else wrong?? I was doing really well for a few days, dare I say a week? Now I'm back to not doing as well but not as bad as before. somewhere in the middle. I have yet to see the naturopath. I need to get some dental work done first. maybe I'm delaying? I don't know. how is everything else w/ you? did you get to see the Lyme doc yet? Keep me informed! ttyl

I haven't seen the Lyme doctor. They haven't called me back yet about an appointment. I don't think I'll get in for about a month.

I am getting approval thur my insurance company right now to see the naturopath. I need to get my hormones checked but what can they do about it besides put me on BC pills? I do not want to take those! my bladder is really doing well today so far. I am sorry to hear you are not doing well. when do you start your tx for the lyme? that may help you a lot. hopefully soon!

Hi. I have no idea what's going on with my bladder. It is so unpredictable. I really can't link the increased frequency with anything I am doing. I am still waiting for the antibiotics to arrive. I'm glad the nurse is prescribing them and having them shipped because my g.p. will not prescribe them.
I know I've said it before but I'm SOOOOO sick of this. It is really wearing me down. I need relief soon. It is driving me mad. That is great news that your sleep is improving. I am very happy for you (and very jealous!). Have you had all your homone levels tested? It sounds like you are onto something with this hormone thing. Did you have your naturopath app't yet? Do you think you'll do a broth culture? I totall recommend it.  Take care. And allygat0rr-- hope you feel better soon too! |

allygat0rr, have you went back to the doc to check for a UTI? is your urine cloudy? cranberry juice probably won't help you if you already have a UTI. I would get an urgent care appt. at my doc and get a urine test. in the meantime I would get some AZO Standard or similar OTC pill for bladder pain. good luck!
suffering, what's going on w/ your bladder? I went for the first night w/out getting up to pee last night. mostly 'cause I fought off the urge but still! My bladder went from a 10 to a 2 overnight. I know it's hormone-related I just don't know how. |

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. My bladder went crazy yesterday and I don't know why. I am feeling pretty miserable these days. |

how long have you had these symptoms, allygatorr? is it coming from your vagina or your bladder area? I have constant burning in my bladder but nobody knows why.
suffering, how's it goin'? I've been drinking water. it's all I can do. |

Hi. Sorry to hear you are in pain! Lately things are the same as always except that I found out I have a group d streptococci infection and it's like I've had it for a long time! I will probably have to be on antibiotics (Augmentin and Amoxicillin) for 6 months minimum. The nurse thinks this infection could be greatly contributing to my urinary symptoms (in addition to the Lyme causing urinary symptoms).
I totally recommend the broth culture. I never would have found out about this infection if I hadn't done that test. Overall I am feeling really exhausted lately. My sleep is total junk. Sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell. |
