hello Everyone. Its 3 a.m. where I am at and I cannot sleep. Tonight's both of my arms from my shoulders all the way down to my fingers are cramping tingling twitching and hurting so bad. The worst of it is in my right arm. Does also include both shoulders.

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2006. I've tried pretty much every treatment up there with little success on antibiotics. I do see A lyme disease specialist here in Colorado.

do any of you have these same symptoms in your arms? Does it sometimes feel like your arms and hands are full of lead? or maybe I'm just crazy. If you do have these symptoms, what helps you with the pain? I have A cervical spine MRI next week to help rule out tensed nerves. Any help and support. Is helpful. Thank you

Hi Nancy,

Yes, I know exactly what you're going through sad

This time last year,I was unable to open a bottle,hold a fork and was barely able to dress myself.

My hands were swollen and nearly useless,carrying a bag of popcorn felt like I was holding a ten ton weight.....and the pain was unbelievable.

My hands,now are nearly normal,I can garden,cook and do all my household chores.

Antibiotics did nothing for me, infact they made me worse,so I started the Cowden Protocol.

I take Turmeric,Boswellia,Rose Hips and Green Lipped Mussel extract for the remaining inflammation and pain but I'm 80% better than I was.

Hope this helps :-)

Thank you. How does that protocol work?

The best thing to do is to google Cowden Protocol and it will all be explained much better than I could even attempt to.

It doesn't work for everyone,Buhner's and Jernigan's have also helped many people here.

I guess it is just a case of doing some research and finding the one you think will be best for you.

Good luck

Tickledpink,

Its great to hear that the inflammation in your hands has improved so much. I am anxious for the day when you report that is is 100% gone!
