The symptoms began coming back pretty quickly after I stopped my Azithromycin. The biggest, constant one is my neck pain. I hadn't had to take ibuprofen for pain in months, and my neck pain got to the point that I had to take something. I try not to if I can help it, as it's not good to take it, but it got to be too much. I have an RX for Norco if I need it, but rarely use that.
During the full moon, I felt like I had been hit by a train. Every joint ached and throbbed and within the aching, throbbing area there were sharp pains like someone was slowly twisting an ice pick around inside every joint in my body from my elbows, wrists and fingers down to my hips and toes. I started being faithful with my L-Glutamine again and the full moon went away, and that has improved immensely. I have almost no joint pain right at the moment.... Until next time, Mr. Moon.
My hair has begun falling out again. Yay. That symptom had been gone for months as long as I wasn't taking something that caused it. Believe it or not, Vitamin D and Vit. C both cause major hair loss for me.... bad enough that it's like flipping on a switch if I take one dose. The next day, I am guaranteed significant hair loss, so I don't take them. I need to find some brands that don't do that to me. I am also allergic to something in the Thorne Research Vit. D and it makes me itch all over and start to get hives. I don't know if it's one of the fillers in there or ? Everybody, including my LLMD says you can't be allergic to Vit. D, and I believe them, but every form of it and different brands have a negative effect on me.
Finally, IBS is back with a vengeance. Last night, immediately after eating dinner, I felt like I had swallowed a gallon of acid. My stomach began a painful burning that developed into nausea. I took some Pepto Bismal and it slowly subsided and I was able to avoid vomiting (anything but that! I hate to throw up.) but the IBS is still really bad this morning. Nobody else (5 other people) had this effect and we all ate the same thing: Something I make regularly for dinner that has never given me a problem.
I am still awaiting the results of my saliva test for Lyme. I went to purchase my Nebulizer ( True Neb) and the website for the company was totally down. The only other True Neb I can find anywhere is double the price on one other website ($120 vs. $60). So I am waiting to see if the first website goes back up and I can get it for $60. I'm checking Ebay regularly as well.
