?'s Detox Bath

Traveler....thanks for the hot drink advice, have both and will try them. anything to feel warm again. Going to try the detox bath too. I have street water so probably need the ball.

Cajun...sorry I didn't see your posts or [email protected] this the address your using?

Remission is Lyme, fatigue is gone as well as most brain fog, but I still don't feel as good as I did before Lyme and sometime have tremors. Remember mine was caught early so didn't even come close to the nightmare others are going through. I was lucky.

Breast cancer...well I've had my surgery and reconstruction (breast lift) but margin was not clear, some cancer remains so will be having more surgery. FYI margins are healthy tissue surrounding the tumor, the surgeon takes some of that too hoping there is no cancer, but some cancer remains, didn't get it all. I have a choice, hope radiation gets it or go back for more surgery. Every reply on the Breast Cancer Forum says go back have surgery and get it out...so I will.

I haven't even started radiation or hormome therapy, radiation will be five days a week for six weeks, hormone, Arimidex, a pill will be one daily for five years. Radiation will cause fatigue to come back and cause some burns on my breast. I'm so glad I won't be having chemotherapy which can have more severe side effects tham Arimidex.

Again I am lucky. My BC is a very curable kind and it's not in my lymph nodes. What I have is HER2 minus, estrogen + Progesterone + I'm in stage 2-A which is early. My cancer is because I'm producing too many hormones and Arimidex will stop production. One of the side effects of Arimidex just about everyone has is hot flashes, but since I'm feeling cold all the time they might even feel good
Thanks for thinking about me Cajun there is not a day I don't think about you and what 99% of other Lyme posters are going through. I can't figure why I didn't see your posts,
I check in here to read every day.

Said it before and will say it again if I had to choose which disease I had to have I would choose breast cancer over Lyme anyday. Of course I really haven't started treatment yet, but when I do I'm sure/know I won't change my mind. I had a touch of Lyme in camparison to you and it was still the worst time of my life.

Bless all of you on HW for just being here for each other. Nothing better that knowing you're not alone.

Cajun, I can't figure why I didn't get your email and hope I didn't delete it by mistake.
If you write again put LYME in the subject line I will be sure to notice that !!!

Need a little more surgery early December and then on to radiation. Thanks for sharing your cousin's experience every little bit counts. Is your cousin on chemo or hormone therapy? and did she have surgery?

I'm feeling prerry good, but You know what I dread...the fatigue coming back. I will think of you and know that if you can stay so upbeat with chronic Lyme I can do the same with radiation. I want you and everyone here to see your light at the end of the tunnel. Your my inspiration girl.

Cajun,

From what I'm getting radiation, chemo and hormone therapy all make you very tired. Chemo messes with your WBC so I'm thinking your cousin is on chemo.
You are encouraged to rest, but still stay active in spite of the many side effects. Most say they get very few and handle treatment well.

No one can be positive 100% of the time, but you manage to do it 99 & 9/10 of the time.
You cheer me up.

Thank you! I have known I am allergic to chlorine but I have lived with it so long... that I just have grown accustom to having my skin turn bright red when water touches it(no matter the temperature).

You have motivated me to get the chlorine filter and put it on. I just took my first chlorine free shower. I did not turn red. I left the shower feeling awake. Wow!

Why did I wait so long?

Thank you

Thanks Sulma,

Ooo... I will try that in my bath. I now have the filter for the shower but not for my bath. How much c and baking soda?

I am loving the way I feel after my non-chlorine shower.

Thank you

I am interested in how much vitamin c and baking soda to use also as my city water is chlorinated too.

I never rinse off after my epsom baths. I figure my body will continue to absorb the magnesium.
