I'm finishing up taking Augmentin today and starting Amoxicillin tomorrow. I hope it works! I can't stop taking coconut oil, I tried it and I feel like crap after a few days. It feels Great havingmy business operational again! I did nothing for over a year, and don't ever want to be like that again. I'm tired as hell, but at least I'm not in bed all day whining about pain. I st

I know it's wrong to self diagnose, but I've been so fucked up for so long. I've been to doctor after doctor with no results and no hope. After talking to someone about the potential of Lymeand the self treatment of Lyme and the things I can do to help with the problems I've been having. I can honestly say, Kiss my Balls! My mind has been gone for so long, and I'm starting to g

I ate a salad for breakfast, a salad and about a pound of ham for lunch, and a salad and about 6 oz chicken breast for dinner. I also ate 2 table spoons of coconut oil raw straight out of the jar, anda yougurt. Today was a good day! Haven't had one in a long time, too long. Not sure if it's from the Doxy or the coconut oil? My sinus cleared up Friday in the middle of the night or early Sat

Happy Easter! I finally went to the er. I talked to a doctor who seemed like he knows a thing or 2 about lyme. They drew some blood and sent it out to the lab. I'll get my results tomorrow. They gaveme some Doxy when I was in the er. My sinus has improved so much! I can finally breath, For the most part, I feel pretty good. I've been taking Chlorophll, DHEA, and coconut oil. After I went t

Can't sleep at all. I guess Alteril has no effect on me anymore. What's strange is I'm so tired, but I just can't fall asleep. It's a curse! I never met anyone else who can lay in bed in complete darkness for the amount of time that most people sleep, without falling asleep. I posted earlier that I ate a banana, and a yogurt with pineapple. I never did eat that salad with brocc

Tossed and turned till about 5:30am even with Alteril. Got up at 10 am and went for a 3 mile walk. I felt strong! Had a pep to my step today, almost felt like running. I ate a yogurt with fresh pineappleand a banana so far today, and got some red lettuce and broccoli for later. Since I started taking DHEA yesterday, I notice my palms are sweaty. I did 3 push ups, and then fell to the floor, lol. I

Ate a Jamaican beef patty, and about 3/4 lb of chicken breast today. Went to GNC and got DHEA 50mg, I hope it helps. I slept most of the day, and laid in bed the rest of the day. Should have went to theer, but didn't. I need to eat more food, just don't ever feel hungry. weigh 201 today, and that's after I ate. I tried to take a bath in epsom salt last night. I don't think there ar

Tired to day. Achy all over, and the stuff that I blow out of my nose it thicker than usual, so blowing my nose does nothing but burn, and I can taste blood. I'm going to the er when my brother getshome from school. Hopefully they'll give me some antibiotics and it will go away for a while. One time when they didn't work, they gave my z-paks, I think its zithromax or something like tha

Fell asleep around 5:30pm and woke up about 8pm. I ate about 2 cups of jasmine rice, a large salad with lots of veggies, some pineapple, and a 1/2 of a chicken burrito with a whole wheat wrap. Is it possiblethe little wrap is what made me crash? There was no way I could keep my eyes open. I can't remember if I said this before, but I walked about 3 miles this morning. My nose is back to runnin

I'm soooooo tired! My eye lids feel like they have 10 lb weights on em. I was driving back from picking up my car and had that electrical pain in the side of my head. It felt like something was pushingon my eye from the inside of my head. I feel like I'm gonna throw up and crap my pants at the same time. Went to bed around 2:30 and got up at 6:50. 5:30 pm now, in bed- Night Night

Tired as hell, took alteril about 45 mins ago. My lower back is getting worse, maybe from that long ass walk? My knee just suddenly felt fine. Got to get up early to go get my car and some more thingsfrom Jenn's place and say hi to Scrappy! Ate pepper steak for dinner with my family. Drank about 8 or 9- 32 oz nalgenes of water today. I think I drink too much water, yet I always feel thirsty. I

I fell asleep around 5am, and got up at about noon. I went for a walk right when I got up. My lower back, left knee and right ankle hurt for about the first mile or so. Then I started felling prettygood, besides the freezing cold wind. I had plans to do some push ups when I got home, but now I feel lucky to even make it back here. My left knee started clicking around 2 1/2 miles in. I decided t

Didn't get much sleep. Fell asleep when it was light out, not sure what time. Kept waking up freezing and my arm kept falling asleep. I feel like I'm tripping. I feel like I'm going to throwup. My back and neck are killing me. All night I had that shooting electrical feeling in the back left side of my head. I kept having shooting, throbbing pain in my right wrist, both of my knees and

I've been trying to remember the potential times I could have been infected. I remember have a bullseye rash 3 times. The first was when I was maybe 11 or 12, maybe even a bit younger. I slept overmy grandmothers in Holland, MA. Myself and some of my brothers and cousins camped out in her back yard. I remember feeling like I had the flu, and when I was back home one of my friends asked me what

Back to the Veggies Dummy! I starting to get that stabbing pain in my ear again. If it is any worse tomorrow, I'm going to the ER. Right now my feet are burning! Like I just walked across lava.

Today is actually the 30th, didn't write anything yesterday. Yesterday was a really bad day. I can't do anything anymore at all so I decided not to drag my gf down with me anymore. She strugglesto pay all of our bills and deal with me. So now I'm staying with my parents :(. I'm not sure what time I fell asleep, I know it was after 1am and I woke up at 9am.

Today was a tough day! I went for a short overnight hike this past weekend on Mt. Greylock in MA. Didn't see any ticks, LOL! Then I played Wallyball Tuesday night. I was sleeping good before the hiking trip with a little help from Alteril. I was so tired Sunday I didn't need it. Monday I stayed up until about 10:30 pm and slept until 9 am. Tuesday I couldn't sleep! I'm noticing
