I am new to this support group my name is shelly. Does anyone suffer from earpain? I have had earaches on and off for all these years, I was just wondering if anyone else had that problem. Anyway Im having a bad day! Im on treatment now and have been for almost 2 years and I still have symptoms. Sometimes I dont know if it is my lyme or something else. Im frustrated! Has anyone had success with alternative treatments? I sometimes dont want to be here anymore, but I know there is a reason why I am but I hate feeling this way!!!!

I'm so sorry you're feeling bad. It's hard to stay positive when you're feeling bad. But you can do it.

I'm pretty new on here and have found that everyone here is a great support and is able to help you with your questions. Hopefully, you have good days that will overcome the bad ones.

I have earaches also. I know it really hurts. It comes and goes. I can look at the list of the symptons and my body has experienced every single one of them at one time or another. It's really hard to fight this and sometimes staying positive is even harder. You're right there is a reason for everything. While we're going through it, it's hard to see why but there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your spirits up. I know it's so hard but believe that you will have alot of great days ahead.

Stay strong and fight hard.

I haven't had much pain but definately have had weird stuff going on with my ears. Tingling, feeling like something's moving around in there etc. My doctor had a look but they look fine.

I'm on alternative herbal medicine and many people here are. Some are on antibiotics combined with herbs. I've only started a few months ago but have seen some improvement. I started with a type of Cat's Claw called Samento. I'd recommend it to anyone. I'm sure others will have tips for you too. Just hang in there, things will get better!

I do have a lot of problems with ear pain. I think some of it for me has to do with problems with TMJ. Since I got my dental appliance to wear at night, I feel a lot better! Not nearly as much ear OR jaw pain. I still have SOME issues, but not nearly as bad. You might look into that, especially if you're having jaw issues as well...

I am doing an all-natural protocol, NOT under a doctor's care, as I can't find one who seems to want to help me yet, or at least not one whom I can afford who wants to help me, but I am having some success. I have only been doing it a little under 8 weeks, and I think I'm doing pretty well so far.

If you want to talk more, feel free to PM me anytime.

*hugs*

As far as treatment, it is different for each person...I was treated for 12 years straight and was only symptom free 1 time for about 8 months then had a HUGE crash...

For some it takes a long time for others, they can get better pretty quick. Alt and conventional methods both need to be tried.... You have to find what works for you...
