Lyme Disease Support Group

This round of attempted Lyme treatment comes from a pain flair up. Treated it with chinese herbs as if it were sinus infection for 8 days until my ENT had an appt. ENT said no infection, no congestion, more likely trigger points in your neck. Pain increased after treatment. He asked if I had been tested for Lyme.

I flunked Mynocyline, doing well with LD Naltrexone and am now trying A-L.

Any ideas that have helped with face and neck pain?

I also have other pains all on my left side -- bursitis, piriformis, plantar fascitis. My favorite activity is dancing. So this pain is taking a lot away from my life.

Another stirrer for me was getting cortizone shots.

The last stirrer, and what brought out the worst that led me to track down that I've had Lyme all these years, was being in a closed house and painting. I have read of others having this happen (the toxic fumes). I'm actually glad it happened, because if it hadn't changed, I'd still be tolerating all sorts of pains and fatique, etc. and believing what doctors had said--that it was aging, or I simply needed to walk for a half hour a day--or I was depressed. Or I was hyperventilating and imagining heart palpitations. That's my favorite.
