Lyme Disease and RA | Arthritis Information
I was DA with Lyme disease at the beginning of the summer and then DA with RA (sero + with high sed. rate). The Dr's say the Lyme triggered my RA. I have RA big time in my family. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar case/story with Lyme Disease.

MTX, Folic Acid, Enbrel 1x/wk -this combo seems to be working well
Hi Laurie.
I don't have any history of Lymes... but if you google it in the search engine for the site.. I know you'll find alot of info..
good luck!!
Hi Laurie,
There are people on the following site who have had RA triggered by Lyme.
Ron
Probably a lot of people with "RA" actually have Lymes.
WooHoo - another potentially curable person! You go girl, learn all you can!
Pip
I have tested positive for both. Also treated for bothI know a gal at rbfbb who had Lyme that triggered RA.
I have written to someone at rbfbb about this. I forgot her name, but there are a lot of people at rbfbb who have Lyme and RA.
Thank you Ron, I found that site because of Pip, I read some of her posts and checked the site out. It is a good reference and a lot of good info. there.
Laurie
Ah, Laurie, that's kind. Just get better and then hog tie the rest of your family. I'm still working on some of mine. :-)
Hugs,
Pip
Maybe those that get help from antibiotics actyally have Lyme ?? I wonderI've wondered that myself!I tested negative by IgeneX to Lyme and I got better. And even tho Lev can't fathom this, I was severe early onset RA at one time.
If interested in the microbe connection - nanobacteria is also linked to RA, Lupus, etc and is found in the synovial fluids of sick people.
Just because you don't have Lyme doesn't mean AP won't help you.

Pip
What;s an MPer?
Laurie
They are a group of advanced APers - they follow Trevor Marshall who uses multiple antibiotics and Benicar to exponentiate the Minocin. They also claim the vitamin D is bad for us because it's not a vitamin at all but instead a powerful steroid hormone that works much the way Predisone does. They are the only group out there claiming we can get 'cured' of our AI diseases. The are a bit cult like in their beliefs and brook absolutely no discussion of their research. www.sarcinfo.com (or org)
The opposite group is the CPN people. Then use multiple antibiotics and massive doses of D until their people are in a remission. Then, all they need a a few IV's a year of ABX for the rest of their lives. The are also a bit cult like in that they allow no discussion of their research. www.cpnhelp.org (or com)
Contrary to what you see posted on AI by a select few malcontents, AP is not cult like as we disagree with just about everything anybody says and will argue minutiae until the cows come home. We have questions and we want them answered. Anybody willing to debate is welcomed. Anybody continually twisting information is scorned. Repeatedly. :-)
Of the above 2 groups, however, I'm leaning towards Marshall as probably being correct. The problem I have with them is that I don't like 'the research is too deep for you, trust us'. No, I'm not going to blindly trust you, answer the damn question. They don't. But I'm thinking their research is probably the closest I've seen to where the 'cure' is going to come from. Technically, I'm still on the fence, but as a nod to the MP, I don't supplement D.
Hugs,
Pip
i know this is pointless but your logic is so twisted, you are the mal-content, i mean who gets pleasure out of (Your words) smackdowns. "After 100 smackdowns you become a pro"
Do you really take yourself seriously, maybe your husband's right and you need to get off the computer.
I have found Pip very helpful. So have many others.
Mabus- Why don't you back off?
Jan, another roadback, ap convert... I mirror the exact words of this little mad crowd. if you haven't figured it out yet, calling people all the time
MORONS
STUPID
FREAKS
CLOWNS
LIARS
ETC ETC ETC
is so unneccessary, so unless you condone this behavior, mind your own business.
I've never heard people called these names by AP people. Who are you talking about?Mabus reminds me a lot of annaart.Well, I admit to calling Lev MORON, LIAR, etc. Which I wouldn't do if he'd stop twisting my words and others' to suit his own agenda. Or if he only had a brain...
Mom, he started it!
:-)
Pip
Lev is totally rude and abusive. I don't know why some people defend him. I guess some people love abuse. Until it's directed at them, or course (which, knowing Lev's history, it will eventually be).You two are totally possessed or obsessed about one person. he has more power than you do. he can be ignored, it works everytime. instead of reducing the conversation to a street fight eh
