hormones

I have just been reading a 'menopause forum' which I came across earlier [not medhelp] - a lot of the posts were women of varying age but mostly 40-55 years, many of them were describing 'perimenopause or menopause' symptoms and so many of them sounded like they fit almost all the lyme symptoms - many were Vit-D deficient, Magnesium deficient and had thyroid problems, also almost all of them had pain in the bottom of their feet, esp. in the morning.  Muscle pain and stiffness, etc;   dizziness, internal shaking/vibrations, low body temp, depression,anxiety - I know lyme messes with hormones.

Many of them had got no help from their doctors either.  I really could have been reading a 'lyme forum'!  One of the remarks made me think too - ''how many men do you know with 'fibromyalgia' '' ?

Good sleuthing, Gorby!  

That's very interesting ... and I know that when I was first so ill with what turned out to be babesiosis and Lyme, my docs were dismissive of my symptoms partly because of my age and gender.  My regular MD simply increased my hormone meds and had me tossed out of an emergency room because he didn't think I was really ill.  Tell me that wasn't because of my demographic...

Did you post about Lyme on that forum?

No, someone else said they had been tested.,[negative]  and a couple of others mentioned it but I needed to register etc; to post, and also they were quite 'old' posts, I will go back their and maybe have a look at some newer postings.   It was an odd little forum really because the main topic was 'gardening' with these other little sections/forums.  I had 'searched' muscle and joint pain, when I came across it.  I suppose the fact that, I presume, a lot of the ladies were 'gardners' is a bit 'suspicious', being out among the shrubbery and all.

good thinking!

When I was poisoned by Splenda (sucralose) the doctors said my hormones were none-existent.  I had no vitamin D.  I went to a nutritionist and found out I had Spiralchetes.
He's got me on 10 weeks of Samento (natural microbial defense-L) and Paracan MYC.  I had a brother-in-law on the same treatment and it cured his spiralchetes!  For hormones, Myimin!...all natural.

Hi, I am interested in 'Myimin' - never heard of it, could you tell me more about it.

So you and your brother-in-law have been treated for lyme disease? - not sure if that is what you mean by 'spirochetes'.

Thanks - in advance
