Lyme Disease Support Group

In the meantime, we are going to the Hollistic/Homeopatic Dr who is attaching a machine to her to work on her body frequency to get rid of the Lymes.

I am afraid I am not doing the right thing. I feel very strongly that steroids is not the answer. But I would really like to meet or know if there is a Lymes Doctor in Colorado that has dealt with this before so we can get some answers.

Please help

If she would like to talk to others, her age with lyme we have a group on here. (I am the leader and would love to have her)

As well as one of my lyme friends made a website for us, and we like to talk to new people and I am always on, since I dont really have much else I can do when I cant get out of bed haha.

Also I saw the word steroids that is a big no no, when you are dealing with lyme, get off them as soon as possible.

You may see some affect now, but in the long run it will make things way worse off for her.

Welcome. I can relate. My 15 year old son is recently dx with lyme and probably some co-infections. I am always wondering if I'm doing the right thing.

There is alot of information on this forum and you can learn lots by reading so you can feel more confident about your decisions. Steriods are a big no no for lyme.

Sounds like your ND may be lyme literate which is great. First thing I would go to is the ILADS website and read their guidelines for treatment.

Take care.

I guess it kind of helps them understand that they are doing everything they can, from a 16 year olds perspective.

Anyways message me anytime you want

At a health fair where I have a booth in CO, I heard of several new Lyme Disease diagnoses and I am sure they will not be reported because many doctors don't know to report it.

All my best,
