I got diagosed with Lyme last June. My main problem has been horrible pain in my feet and some in my hands. There were days I could barely walk.

It was so bad that I wore to Bledsoe boots to work because it was all I could stand to put on my feet. (Bledsoe boots are are those black rocker bottom boots that come up to your calf that people wear when they injure a foot or ankle.)

I kept thinking I had joint pain because it hurt where my muscles attached to the joint but in reality I have severe muscle knots or triggers throughout my whole body.

I bought the book The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your self-treatment guide for pain relief by Clair Davies. You can get it at Borders or Amazon.com.

After only 3 days of working on the knots in my legs and feet, my pain was greatly reduced. So much that I have stopped taking my pain meds and am doing fine.

I was able to clean my house today for 2 hours with almost no pain. For the first time in over a year!!!

It also helped that my lyme is finally coming under control with pulsed ceftriaxone therapy. I think pulsing is critical (4 days of a double dose and 3 days off)

Before this, I was taking a single dose a day for 8 weeks and was not getting better.

There is hope! Buy this book. You might feel a lot better.

Take care,
