In January 2013 I saw
them both and here were my results: When I first started in January 2012 my
c6peptide number was at 1.88(anything above .91 means that you have active Lyme
in your system). My number now is at .62 so that was great news to hear!!!
But
my CD57 number was too low... Low for this can be bad. The number should be
between 60 and 360. My number is 27. So what this means is that my immune
system is very compromised. The other
thing about this number being low is that I could relapse with the Lyme. I have
been getting pretty sick a lot. I am actually home now with Strep Throat and
have had a 102 fever on and off for 4 days. Overall, I am just hoping that my
body can continue to fight this. With all the supplements and vitamins that I
have been putting into my body I will only be able to continue to get stronger.
Today- March 13 I am 9 months in remission!! J
Today- March 13 is exactly one year from when I started my second long term
round of IV and Oral Antibiotics. If you look back on this day on my blog you
can read how I was dealing with my active Lyme then- it was not good. I have
really come a long way and I am forever grateful for that. thing about
this number being low is that it means I could relapse with the Lyme. I have
been getting sick a lot. I am hoping that my body can continue to fight this
Lyme and once I put some supplants in me that my immune system will get
stronger. I do feel week. So overall still happy - NO ACTIVE Lyme!! 7 months in
remission!!!! thing about this number being low is that it means I could
relapse with the Lyme. I have been getting sick a lot. I am hoping that my body

ACTIVE Lyme!! 7 months in remission!!!! Thanks for all of the support
What am I still dealing with? Well, I still have
numbness/coldness on my right side. It has gotten better but it is still there.
Nerve damage takes forever to heal so I am just trying to be patient. I have
been experiencing really bad hip pain though and other joint pains. I have had
manipulation done to help and I also continue to go to my wellness program at
my PT. But from everything that I had if I am left with hip pain and numbness I
would say I am lucky.
I will continue to
write on here and I am sorry that I have not been for a few months. I do update
on my Facebook page daily/weekly you can friend me on Facebook at : Samanthas

for all of your support and let’s continue to raise awareness.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about your journey. Ihope you continue to do well.
Our daughter was diagnosed in 2008 with Lyme and Co. She only tolerated 8 months of oral antibiotics.
Her LLND is going to be starting her on IV rocephin soon if insurance approves.
I am hoping it gives her a life.
Janie,
DeleteHi- Thank you! I hope that your daughter gets some relief soon. I was on IV Rochephin and IV Vancomycin together. On top of many orals. It was A LOT at one time but this Lyme is tricky. It puts up a good fight and only a concoction of medicines will get it. Let me know if you or your daughter need anything. Praying she feels better soon! ((HIGS))
Samantha :)
Hi Samantha,
DeleteDo you have sens to food? Daughter was tested for allergies and none found to food. But nuts, raisins and certain foods cause weakness, feels faint and other symptoms. Did yo have any sens to medication?
Wow, lots of meds at one time. How were the herxes?
Thanks, Janie
