Hello everyone,
I just joined this group. My daughter, 21, is diagnosed with Lyme 2.5 years ago. She has been sick most of her life, and had two tick bites as a child.
She has gone the alternative route with a few different protocols, some improvements, but the doctor stopped seeing patients so we were back to square one. She is now seeing a doctor in ATL that prescribes silver Argenten 23. This has been since January, and since then, she's had to quit her job and move back home with her parents. She is not able to walk without assistance and she continues to get weaker every day. She is totally depressed and does not want to fight this anymore. She has panic attacks. We are very disappointed that the doctor doesn't have much to say about her symptoms, just to give it more time.
We now have an appointment with an LLMD the end of June.
I am worried that she is suffering irreparable damage, since she has had this most of her life. I am trying to just keep her going, and stay positive with her. It is increasingly difficult.
She is doing FAR infrared sauna, ionic foot baths, epsom salt baths, reflexology, lymphatic massages for detoxing, also taking lots of Vit. C. She is also taking lots of supplements.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open. I want to help her and keep her wanting to fight, but she is loosing the willpower.

Thank you, Louise74, I will look into your recommendations.
Blessings to you.

Wow! Lymebabe, I will look at your blog! Thanks so much for the hope you have given me.
Blessings to you!

Welcome to the forum! I can sure relate to what you and your daughter are going through. I have a 26 yr. old going through it, most of her life, as well as myself. It's just hard for a young person to go through it when they're supposed to be out on their own, with new adventures and fun times. I'm glad you're there for her. I'm sorry her doctor isn't more attentive. Let her know she's not the only young one with it and that she is lucky to have your help. There are some young adults on their own with it. I hope you find something to move her along more.

Pilotswife, how is she using the sauna? If she raises her body temperature to 102F it will start killing spirochetes. So instead of removing toxins she will be adding them. Same with Epsom salt baths. I warm up with the sauna and only stay until I start sweating on my detox days. If I want to kill germs I heat up the sauna to 120F and stay there for 20 minutes. There is guaranteed die off. Also, I would encourage her to go back and try another colonic. My first colonic I thought I was dying. I was in so much pain I did not think I was going to be able to drive home. It got better with each one. I have done two per week. Today I was able to take my two dogs to the park for a walk right after the colonic. At the beginning of February I was literally crawling around my house watching each movement. So that's quite the difference. I am not well but I am much better.
