I am a seriously ill person who has been diagnosed with both ALS and Lyme Disease…
I thought I had better qualify my previous statement. I now realize it sounds like I have both diseases whereas it is actually more of an either/or situation:
I am not sure if I have ALS or Lyme disease. I was diagnosed with ALS by a neurologist last May but 2 months later, I took antibiotics for an unrelated ailment (swollen glands) and I had a “Herxheimer reaction” (which should not happen to an ALS patient). Since August, I have been also given a working diagnosis of Lyme by an infectious diseases doctor (it can sometimes imitate ALS) and have recently had a weak/borderline positive Lyme test result from IgeneX labs in CA. So, my feeling is that I do have Lyme (with severe neurological manifestation of symptoms) and not ALS, even though I have been diagnosed with both.

I have been taking MMS for 1 month now. Currently, I am at 10 drops twice a day. I have had to stop and re-start twice due to extreme “herx” reactions. My goal is to get up to 15 drops 2x a day WITHOUT nausea. I got up to 15 drops before and had a violent reaction (the usual- vomiting and diarrhea) BUT I felt great for several days after the reaction subsided. I DO feel like it is getting to something toxic in my system and killing it.
I am still weak, have trouble walking and my hands are crippled from nerve damage. I do notice that some of my other symptoms are better or gone.
Better: fasciculations (twitching muscles), fatigue
Gone: tingling, facial numbness, blurred vision
