What did you do for nerve pain??Alternative routes any herbal protocol??

I've found a couple of things that help with nerve pain. First is detox. I use a Beyond Balance product called Cognease Detox, and I think that the Jernigan detox formulas would work as well. My nerve pain dropped significantly since I started taking it. Then for the nerve pain that I still have occasionally, I use a blend of essential oils from Rocky Mountain Oils called Nerve Support.

hi surm - so sorry to hear of your struggles. I had major nerve issues when I was sick 2 years ago. Are you taking anything to help heal the nerves? the two biggest things that helped me were vitamin B12 injections and PC body bio.

do you have numbness and tingling too or just nerve pain? for me I had nerve pain, muscle weakness, nerve and muscle pain, and muscle twitches. i got all of the physical symptoms, never had any cognitive issues. I dont know which one is worse!!

Detoxing is the main thing to do to ease the pain, but also you should make sure that you are tested to be sure that you don't need to be supplementing the B vitamins (helps the most with nerve pains) and that you are taking enough magnesium as this helps mainly with muscle issues, but a bit with nerve issues as well in my experience.

The other thing that needs to be checked is do you have Bartonella? When Lyme and Bartonella combine they can create a LOT of nerve related issues and pain.

Is the epsom salt baths your only detoxing? Once or twice a week isn't enough.
And, you should be doing multiple methods of detox.

Sometimes it will take awhile before the detoxing catches up with the overload of toxins...so you have to keep it up...

What antibiotics were you on for bartonella treatment?

What about babesia - did you treat for that, too?

So Jk, Cat's Claw and Eleutheros - that is Buhner's older Lyme treatment protocol.

I have a lot of nerve issues, too. vibrations in my body, nervous system 'shivers', nerve pain. I used to have constant twitching, but they are about 90% better now.
I have recently added two herbs: Kudzu and Greater Celandine - too early to know if they'll work.

Adding in the Kudzu and Greater Celandine is something I have done to help with the nerve pain. They are listed in Buhner's Bartonella book. I've only recently started them, so no results yet.

I find the epsom salt baths help, also getting enough sleep, and keeping my stress levels down. For me, when my stress levels increase, my nervous system gets ramped up...and then the nerve issues are worse.

Yes, detoxing more is a good idea.

I think it's possible that the nerves need time to heal...even after the infection is treated...and hopefully over time, there will be improvement with the symptoms.

I have gained a lot of my strength back...and exercise at least every other day.
