I have been sick for far too long, like all of us. What can I do to make day-to-day life easier?

I've cut back work hours, hired someone to scrub the house once a month, use the groomer instead of bathing the dogs myself, etc. But I still feel like CRAP.

Are there any supplements or alternative treatments I can use to feel somewhat better? I am seeing a LLMD in PA right now, but he's having a hard time eliminating the severe fatigue.

Does sauna help? I am thinking of buying one and giving it a try. I recently read that near infrared was better than far infrared for detoxing.

Is there a specific unit you have used with good results? I need one under $2,000 - preferably closer to $1,200.

I like Mercola and I just got this in my mailbox today on infra red saunas and this is what he says to watch for. In regards to EMF. Kind of interesting article.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/ 22/steve-benda-on-saunas-and-emf.aspx

First year Mar 2012-2013 on 6 plant abx only.Second year had to add pharma abx in conjunction.Physical brain/head/eye symptomatic too severe and excrutiating "just coping with the physicality feeling infection in cns thru brain, and brain overprocessing with no sleep daily" rendering me non functional since Oct 2010. Can't read a book, follow programs properly, stutter talking due to the "physical feeling and interference in head." Stuttering less with more coming down since pharma abx added.

It's slowly helping. I dry sauna every other day/colonics daily.Very strict diet.

Sida Acuta-babs/bart*Houttunyia-bart*Stephania-lyme/bart*Andrographis-lyme*Cat's Claw-lyme*Japanese Knotweed*lyme/bart*Artminisin-babs*Serrapeptese-biofilm* GSE-Cysts*

Sporadic severe hits of acute pain in body/joints/bone pain & face/head/brain/bone & nerve pain 95% healed/gone from plant abx only. 5% that is left is rare and not severe only in right forearm bone and around left extra orbital eyebone.Body flutters less.Chronic acute head/eyeball pressure gone from plant abx in first year from plant abx only.Ammonia feel inside head mostly gone from plant abx only.Visual distortion gone from plant abx only.BUT,brain/head/eyeballs still BAD/chronic/acute which is why I started pharma abx in conjunction because this is still severe & won't come down enough>>>Infection/brain encephalitis (brain inflammation somewhat less now) feel inside head,wooshing,rage/brain overstimulation and over processing thoughts too fast,chronic. NON cortisol related, it's simply pathogen load causing overstimulation. Still cope daily with brain physicality and non functional. Hard head hit. Debilitating insomnia.

Added Bart/Lyme pharma abx = Apr 13 zithromax in conjunction with my 6 plant abx & May 2 added rifampin. (I dose very aggressively in tsp of my homemade tincture plus drink tea decoctions of my plants and herx daily on both plant and pharma abx. No normal baseline yet but coming.)

there are several people on here that have the "baked potato" sauna. You can find it on ebay for under $200. I don't have one yet, it will be the first thing I purchase when I have the funds.

My dr put me on anti virals a couple of weeks ago to see if we can get my EBV under control which then hopefully will help w the fatigue.

I had a reaction to something the week I started but dr doesn't think it's the meds. so I took 2 weeks off and will try again tomorrow.

Was having a bad week the week I started and had a couple of pb&j sandwiches and a slice of pizza. hadn't glad gluten in months so think it was more that or a combo of the meds and gluten.

Won't go without it....It's the only reason I'm alive......

Yes, I just read the Mecola thing...auto email and friend showed it to me.....

I like Mecola for his explaination of things in simple terms..but do not always take him at face value....

last week eggs and bannana's where bad....this week they are important..

I don't know...seems like we are in bed with evil anyways.....

"They" say we shouldn't be takin' all this ABX....cuz that's bad for ya too...

Ok so now....I would not be were I am without that sauna..cuz I don't sweat normal....I NEEDED it to detox....

So I'm supposed to quit......cuz it will give me radiation?

Then what do I do when my body won't get rid of the toxins? Suffer?

Most know.....I swear by the sauna....it's helped me more than I can explain.....will I live to 80 instead of 90? who knows....

JMO

WLk=) ps. the one I use is that cheap under 200 buck one....???

Anything I post or respond to comes from a Lyme and Bart victim himself. I am NOT a doctor. I do my own research for ME...I may share my findings and will post them. They are for general talk and vent...If a group leader feels the info is worth saving somewhere, they are more than welcome to do with it as they like. Wlk=)
