Yeah, I know what you mean.
Steroids screwed up my nephew's physical and mental health
real bad. The poor kid has a hard time with everything now.
Stay hydrated, take ACV (organic -unfiltered) if it agrees with you
and put garlic in your cooking. It helps control BP. I also use self-hypnosis
just about for anything (I'm getting to master this-I'm a board certified Hypnotist and the results with my clients are incredible!) including BP control, as it runs in my family.
Try malic acid for pain as it counters the effects of tartaric acid which is a toxin associated with fatigue and pain.
Also look into extra virgin coconut oil for controlling arthritis -
"The New Arthritis Cure", Dr. Bruce Fife. It works for most Arthritis and Fibro sufferers. Look it up at the coconut research website.
Glad you found an LLMD in Pennsylvania. You are on a new path.
Wishing you well.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I've found out the hard way that the local medical community has its collective head up its ***. No one here is curious why I had the response I did to the antibiotics and steroids. "Just an anomaly," is what one moron suggested.
I did find an LLMD in Pennsylvania (150 miles away, but I don't care) who is taking new patients and I have an appt in March. I need to find answers and I'm not getting any satisfactory ones here.
I'm not sure how much damage the steroids have done to me so far, but they've driven my BP to dangerous levels. I'm taking extra potassium to try to get it back down and I'm having it monitored daily by my local health dept. My arthritis is also acting up again. My knees hurt so much I can barely walk sometimes, but I keep plugging on.
Hey droopy,
There are many states where LLMDs are almost non-existent or work incognito/underground for obvious reasons. OHIO is one of those.
Get an N.D. to sign the forms. Request a complete Borrelia (Lyme's) Mycoplasma and Co-infections Panel from IGeneX. Go to their website.
Go to a local Lab to get the sample drawn. Make sure it's sent by express courier on a Monday or Tuesday! Otherwise you may be taking a chance with compromising the accuracy of the findings.
For treatment-if tested positive- you may want to contact another state's Lyme Disease Assn where Lyme's is more widespread with LLMDs available to give telephone consultations and this way you have access to treatment. Keep the ND as a Liaison/ Health Coach.
There are no LLMDs here in Ontario and any remaining in Canada are on the "slaughter" list if discovered!!
Someone should start a movement and make a lot of noise!
This is totally INSANE - happening in affluent societies like ours???
Lymes is the fastest spreading disease in the world!!!
How did we allow the medical model to become so DYSFUNCTIONAL
CORRUPT and GREEDY? It is an ENTITY after all!
Are most of it's parts and gears that are running it ( Human Administrative, Medical and Government Personnel including Politicians) so defective,distorted and distant?
I've taken the alternative and holistic root LONG time ago.
Because I have very little patience for this kind of bs when it comes to my health and my life.
Never got a dx, but do I care? No! A Medical Label was never my objective.
I know what works,I understand Health more than most Doctors do, and I am 100% functional,sane and Healthy.
And I like to share info to help others.
Take care and I hope this helps you find some answers.
Niko
