[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's me.  I am frustrated with this thread.  I spent five years feeling exhausted, anxious, with joint pain, neck pain, headaches.  Unable to take a shower without a built in rest time, unable to walk more than a mile.  I tried accupuncture, physical therapy, saw the neurologist, the rheumatologist, the PCP...  was given gabapentin and offered lyrica, SSRI's, SNRIs, and other "preventatives."  I kept a log of my symptoms and showed it to a wellness GYN I had been seeing for hormones and she said that it was a disease pattern, not a hormonal pattern.  I had some markers for Lyme in my bloodwork and did the more sensitive Lyme labs which showed Lyme.  And yes, I remember finding a tiny tick years ago and plucking it off my arm and moving on with my day.

I did one round of SOT and the first change iI noticed is that my energy is really back.  My joint pain has greatly decreased, too.  I have a lot more stamina and can actually do life.  It took about a month for me to start feeling better.  My labs show that my Lyme is gone.  For me, it was worth the money (and I am lucky to be able to afford it).  There are NIH studies that show that it is promising for Lyme and some other hard to treat illnesses.  After all the other stuff I tried and feeling terrible for years, I figured it was worth a try.

It sucks to read this thread and all the people arguing that this is all in my head, and I am crazy.  I'm sure there are unscrupulous doctors out there taking advantage of people, but let me tell you that "traditional" medicine doesn't have all the answers.  [/quote]

Amen PP, I am right there with you.  Were you the person who went to Tavicare?  While I am leery of anyone who wants to take my money, I’m also getting no answers from my doctor.  I can’t just give up because people blow me off.  The posters who are the most unpleasant about this are probably not people who have debilitating issues.  [/quote]
