"Lyme disease/co-infections" (TNCamper)

MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

If you need inexpensive for now...

So many have said the sea salt/Vit C protocal really helped them.

It is cheap and increases the oxygen in the body.

The bugs do not like oxygen.

Have you modified your diet yet?

Do you have a doc working with you?

Some use MMS...

It is cheap too.

It as an oxygenation method also.

I tried it.

It didn't cure me, but it did help a little.

It is awful to be "flaring" and just now finding out what you have, while trying to keep a job.

I had to quit working long ago.

What size company do you work for? How many people work there?
Feels like everyday I'm alone. Not because I don't have any friends around me at the time, just because no one understands what I really feel like everyday.

I pretend to be happy so I don't have to explain myself to people who'll never understand.

It was after giving birth that the lyme started to be intolerable for me too.

I had so much difficulty working.

The poor baby was in daycare all day and by the time she got home I was in bed.

That was not life.

Yes. I don't know any company that has patience for someone dealing with illness.

What are your symptoms right now that are preventing you from working?

Can you treat the symptoms for now?

Good luck.

Have you been put on Cholisterimine?

or non pharma....Chlorella?

That might help clean out toxins.

Do you take the B vitamins?

May help with calming.

What are you taking right now?

Are you seeing an llmd?

What have you tried so far?

Sounds like it could help some if you just tried even sea salt/vit c.

That adds oxygen to your body.

The infection doesnt like oxygen.

MMS adds oxygen to your body too.

Those are cheap.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Good luck.

Good Luck.

Everyone does not have FMLA. In the private sector it applies to companies that have more than 50 employees.

AZ...have you ever filed for FMLA?

How long have you been working for this company?

Here is the eligibility....

Employees are eligible for leave if they have worked for their employer at least 12 months, at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, and work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles. Whether an employee has worked the minimum 1,250 hours of service is determined according to FLSA principles for determining compensable hours or work.

Have you read Dr. Burrascano's book on lyme?

It tells of supplements to help a lot of your symptoms.

You can even downlode it from:
