I was treated for Lyme disease last summer with Doxycycline (reacted to) and another antibiotic. It came back in December. I was on IV Rocephin, but my liver enzymes went up, so the PICC line was pulled, and I went on Ceftin, which I also reacted to. I am now trying Ondamed and am learning about the Rife machine. Are there any thoughts on which machine is more effective? I just received Sametto and am starting that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been seeing a guy for the past three months, and in the last two weeks, there has been light-colored blood after intercourse. I recently had a smear test showing I may have a bacterial infection and some abnormalities. Should I be worried, and could this be related?

I had an abrupt pain in my right pelvic region two weeks ago, which has since moved to my lower back on the right side. The pain is severe when sitting and feels like a burning sensation. My doctor suspects it's my SI joint, but I'm concerned it could be related to my colon issues or even cancer, as my sister had similar symptoms and died from cancer at the age of 39. What could this be, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

About three weeks ago, the vision in my left eye suddenly deteriorated. I'm 53, male, and my vision is no longer in sync. The vision is fuzzy, almost as if my eye is not fully opened. It just came on so suddenly. I woke up one morning and the vision was greatly reduced. Any suggestions?

I am a 49-year-old female with a history of hypothyroidism, currently on Synthroid. I have been experiencing a series of frightening symptoms including heart palpitations, digestive issues, constipation, chest and mid-thoracic spine pain, hypoglycemic-like symptoms, dizziness, weakness, tingling in limbs, headaches, and internal tremors. My TSH level is 2.495, and I believe I may be overmedicated. Is it safe to stop taking Synthroid temporarily to see if symptoms subside? How long does it take for Synthroid to leave my system, and how long before I might see improvement if the symptoms are medication-related? Are there non-medication or bioidentical hormone treatments for hypothyroidism?
