Hi,

Have you ever thought that it may be yeast and not lyme which is making you suffer?

If so, how did it work out for you?

yeast and lyme symptoms are both very similar. and yeast (and when I say yeast I don't mean a "girlie" infection" yeast can become systemic and affect EVERY part of your body and be a bad thing, can cause big problems. I recomend if on abx to take diflucan with it. Buhner in his book which is about natural stuff even recomends it. also a good probitotic helps. unfortunatly lyme is a multifacted issue, not only is it lyme but possible co infections, yeast, parasites, and on and on, that's why it;s imperative we take care of our bodies in every way we can to overcome it all
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

I just recently saw an LLMD and based on my history he is 99% sure that I have Lyme, awaiting the Igenex test. But he also swabbed my mouth and put it in a tube and at the end of the visit he told me that I had an overgrowth of yeast in my body. He put me on diflucan once a day for 3 weeks then 2x a week. Do alot of lymies have an overgrowth of yeast?
