 I'm sorry I thought I said my body needs a break from the conventional stuff. I've decided to go natural. LOL

Thanks

 I was in treatment from Aug until Sept 10th, then took a break until Oct 16, started again Oct 16, until the end of dec. That was it....This was all in 2007...He would have kept me on abx until January 08 but I became allergic to the abx...Since I'm allergic to most of them he had no choice...

I am back to almost normal, at times when under a lot of stress my knee will act up and I will get mild burning on my upper chest, but that is pretty much it...

You will get there, it takes time...Taking a break did not hurt me, but then everyone is different...

Good luck

J

 Have any of you taken neurontin or flexeril for the pain. My doc put me on ambien, neurontin, flexiril and something for restless legs and told me that until I get proper sleep my immune system was going to be down even on meds for lyme. I worry about taking lots of meds especially the neurontin because of the weight gain side effects, the flexeril made my heart act funny. They do help with the pain in my muscles and the ones caused by the nerves in my back and neck though. Does anyone know of maybe a natural remedy that would be comparible to the neurontin.

 I'm on a natural protocol, I've never been on abx and I am doing so much better after just a few months. I went down and visited my family for the first time in over a year. Last time it was just for the day, my sister's wedding and it just about killed me. I was so wiped out after. This time I stayed for 3 nights and today is my first day back and I'm able to answer all my emails and straighten up the house. I am in pain mind you, my joints are so sore and my arms are so weak and I'm also very nauseaus but I normally I would have crashed and been bedridden after only a day or two of visiting. I kept waiting for the crash but it never came. I couldn't believe it.

The only reason I started taking herbals was because I couldn't find a doctor and even if I did I couldn't afford abx. I figured the herbs would maybe build up my immune system a bit while I waited for money and a doctor. I had no idea how powerful those humble herbs could be.

 what type of herbs help. I was given 7 prescriptions which only cost about $50 o the cost was not that bad, but Im afraid to take most of them because of side effects.

 I'm a believer in lauracidin, olive leaf extract, cats claw (samento), garlic and vitamin C, not just your regular vitamin C, but a good quality brand.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
