I cannot personally comment on any antibiotic regimen for treating lyme and its coinfections. I never took any. I chose alternative treatment and it worked for me. I had many of the symptoms you describe. I belive gut integrity is essential to our immune system. I had parasites, candida, and "leaky gut"(intestinal permeability). THis was addressed, treated and I'm better. Leaky gut results in widespread inflammation and pain. I belive you can ask your doctor to test for this. Most doctors don't even think about this, at least my EX-doctors didn't.

Don't give up, I got better. I know it sounds unbelievable to get better without conventional medicine, but it worked for me.

Hang in there,

as for me, I don't know if you've read my story, but my chances of full remission are very slim, but I have been getting stronger in my faith, I have been reaching out and helping others, and I know in my heart, I WILL get well. I may not be 100% ever again, but I'll take even 40%, that would be huge . . Lyme can also cause lesions that the mainstreem doc will say is MS, when in reality they are from the lyme. and I know a lot of times MS is treated with steroids, which is horrible for a lyme patient. One thing you MUST do, is build up your immune system. Many people can't take the antibiotics, and they get well on natural protocols, or just by making thier immune system work. In all honesty, those are the people I keep hearing about getting well, the ones who do it naturally.

ok, honey, I will get back to you asap. Hang in there alright.

Gentle hugs,

At times I have wanted to give up hope, but then the Lyme wins, and I will not let Lyme win, I will win like you will...

I hope it's okay to call "ya'll" friends. I feel your pain and your misery of lyme. I lived it, too.

Migraines were one of my most bothersome symptoms. They woke me up in the middle of the night almost every night for months on end. This was in September of 2006 through feb. 2007. I had lots and lots of migraines, they were just increasing in frequency along with the multitude of the other 'paralyzing' symptoms of Lyme. My migraines are few and far between now that I sought alternative treatment. If you want more info on how I got better just PM me.

Just don't give up. I have felt that way in the past. MY gosh, how much are we supposed to take? well, evidently a lot. There is just so much doctors need to know about lyme and they don't have time or don't believe it exists. But we know better and with all of our voices together, I believe we can make some changes in the future. I really want all of you suffering to get better. I know it's possible because I am living proof. I was scraping the bottom of the barrel, too. Now, I am reclaiming my life and dedicating a large portion of my time to encourage others to find the help you need to get well.

We can all emerge victoriously from this maze of Lyme. Keep fighting, keep researching and talk to us. We'll help you!

Warm regards to all,

Lymie
