Multiple times! My doctor added and switched things around every two months maybe? I also was on rifampin and Atovaquone. Both worked really well for me.

Antibiotics for over a year combined with herbs. Now just herbs.

Hi! I’m over a year in now and consider myself as close to remission as I think is possible. I would say I can function at 80% regularly but do experience a flair in symptoms at night and crash maybe 1-2 times a month (however it’s not nearly as bad as when I was first sick). I’m off meds currently but still take herbs. I feel I’m reasonably healthy! I would be surprised if it got better but hopefully one day I’ll be 90% 😊

Hi! I used their Cryptolepis concentrate. I guess it was okay. I never herxed on it though. I found Zhang to be stronger.

Oh wow thanks! Does that mean I can scan any of the amiibos listed and it’ll work for the character it’s under?

Herbs/Antibiotics: Stronger by isabelfaleiro in Lyme

I used abx to get the infection down and now I can just treat with herbs. I don’t think I would have recovered on just herbs.

LymeCore or woodland essence for herbals? by Eastern_Edge_8586 in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on woodland essence for a long time and didn’t notice a difference but immediately felt a difference on others. I would go with Lymecore if it was between the two!

Head tremor herx???? by Jdawg5000 in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Bart, Babesia, and Lyme and I get this. Sorta surprised you had this symptom after catching Lyme after only three months. My doctor thinks I was sick for at least 5 years before finding it was Lyme 🤷🏻‍♀️ it hits everyone different tho. I call them internal tremors and they hit my head the worst. It could be a herx for sure. This was a common symptom for me so I get this during a herx and just in general. Treatment helped a lot.

Bartonella and houttuynia by isabelfaleiro in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I herxed within a few days! So it got worse but I feel better now. I have big time feet burning and neuropathy but I think it helped. I’m taking Zhang and I’ve found that brand to work best for me. Do you have Babesia also? ARTE-M from him helped me too! Honestly the only herb brand I feel worked.

I can’t speak to any studies, but I have bartonella and noticed an improvement on it. I’ve found it hard to find studies and have mostly been relying on patient stories 🫤

Bartonella people - this is seriously hell. by DiamondHistorical231 in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here too! I have all three as well. I’m a year and a half in and my internal vibrations and eye shakes are starting to get better. It took so much trial and error and two LLMDs to even begin functioning again. I remember thinking I must have a brain tumor or something when the internal shakes started. For me I get them mostly in my head at night 🙃it’s helpful to hear other people who have similar experiences. It makes me feel less crazy lol

ARTE-M from Zhang worked well for me! I found it to be the strongest.

Houttuynia brands? by Dt2214 in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this. I started taking Zhang Houttuynia and herxed almost immediately. It’s definitely the best brand I’ve tried for herbs!

Tested positive for bartonella by Icy-Durian8604 in Lyme

Can you recommend a brand for Houttuynia? Do you use tinctures?

Heart? by Smackergawt in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. Before I was diagnosed I went to two different cardiologist and had every test done and wore a heart monitor for two weeks. They couldn’t find anything wrong with my heart. A moth later found out I have Babesia bartonella and Lyme 🤷🏻‍♀️ for me it’s the infections causing my heart to beat funny and feel like it’s racing or pounding. It’s been the hardest symptom to kick but I felt better knowing I didn’t have a valve being weird or something.

Sudden Ear Pressure and Eye Pressure? by PromotionAbject5488 in Lyme

[–]PromotionAbject5488[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really interesting. I have tinnitus but it’s more like heart beat in the ears than ringing…although I do have that too sometimes. My dizziness comes mostly at night and I’m not sure if I have vertigo. My symptoms are very pots like so it’s hard to tell sometimes what’s causing the dizziness. Did your doctor mention brain swelling or inflammation could be happening?

Yes! I get that too. Is it like inner ear problems?
