Lyme Disease Support Group

I'm waiting for my test results. I had CD57, Western Blot, and PCH done today. All symptoms that I've had for the past 6 months seem to point to Lyme. I have been terribly achy for the past week...especially in my neck and knees. It's been really bad the past 2 days. I have been taking Ibuprofen every 4 hours. It takes the edge off but I am still pretty miserable. What have you found to work best? I would just like to find some relief!

TIA!

Epsom Salt baths

I rub Oil of Oregano on my aches, it helps me tremendously. I take it orally too.

However, one easy thing you could try that helped me some was bengay patches, you can get them at any drug store. Anything with the ingredient menthol feels cool and numbing.

I mainly used them on knees, ankles and back, so I'm not sure how it would work on your neck, but I think they have creams too.

Heat packs

Ice packs

Epsom baths

Eucalyptus and Spearmint Essential oils in a carrier oil - massage into areas with pain. You can also use Peppermint essential oil in the carrier oil (like sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil)

When you're not using it you put in the freezer so it doesn't mold.

I used to use it for back pain and I'm getting it out now for my son's use.

Maybe it would help you.

oil of oregano rubbed on sore areas

I'm going to look for those oils too. Thank you everyone for those suggestions.
