Need Support

Oh, I'm so sorry, but I want to say, I'm right there with you. I was under extreme stress and anxiety when I was caring for my sick mother going through toxic chemo for cancer. It was so hard to see, watch and care for her. I was exhausted and was trying to hit the gym 5 days a week, do my cardio 3 times a week, all while hitting doc appts and making food for her, running errands, getting drugs for her, bathing and doing all the things people do to care for sick ones. Well, my body shut down and the lyme took over. I came back not knowing what was going on, I thought I was going to diet.

I know what you're going through when it comes to weight lifting and a life. The gym was my life- I wasn't working at the time, and the gym was so awesome... met so many great people, eating right, living a healthy life and then boom, my world stopped.

I don't know when I was infected or exposed, I'm guessing I've had it for a very long time - but it flared last april/may and I was misdiagnosed until about a month ago.

You know what helps me the most? Trying my very best to NOT think negative. There are lots of protocols out there, you just need to find what works for you.

What have you done in the last 1 1/2 years? Have you tried different antibiotics. If you're at your whits end, do you know of this doctor I've heard of in Mexico? I have his info, happy to share it with you. You do have options. I feel like I have to start conservative and work my way up.. only 2 weeks into antibiotics and I'm frustrated, can't imagine almost 2 years.

Hang in there... wondering what detoxes you've done, rife? UVB blood irradiation? Buhner or have you tried crowden?

Have you hear of Bob Humble? MMS/CD protocol? Just throwing stuff out there, know that I'm here and I feel your pain.

Dave I hear you. First I think you're doing a great thing with the ozone treatments. How many were you doing a week?

I know it's hard to look around you and see people just carrying on with their lives. I have 2 young kids and I feel really bad that I cannot right now do some of the things that we used to do. Like jumping in the car to go to the amusement park to scream our heads off on a roller coaster. There are so many things that I want to do.... Trust me, I know. But then I say to myself, focus on getting better.

We all have lives to live. Yes, ours may not be as great as we would like them to be right now, but we will get there. It's hard but we can't beat ourselves up. I know that it doesn't seem fair....heck it isn't fair, but then what in life is? We just have to strive each day to chip away at these viruses, bacterial, and infections. So each day we chip away at this, is another day we are getting better, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Your still young and you have your life ahead of you. I'm telling you that ozone therapy is going to begin to make a big difference. Just don't overdo it 🙂. Slow and steady. Give your body time to get stronger. One primary thing I got from the ozone was that I began to feel stronger in a short period of time. That's why I'm starting up again soon.

Keep your chin up. It's going to be OK.

I was recently watching the movie The Natural and if you know anything about it he was on his way to being the best of the best in every baseball category until he had a run in with a crazy woman who shot him and couldn't go back to playing baseball for 16 years. One memorable line when someone asked him about his life he said "My life didn't turn out the way I expected". His childhood sweetheart replied "There's the life you learn with, and the life you live with". These were very encouraging words for me knowing that it's not just me struggling but many others with life changing situations.

I've been at this for about 2 years just like you and I'm still dealing with recurrent, debilitating symptoms on a minute by minute basis. What the heck? We can rail against the unfairness of it all, how everyone else is doing better, etc. or we can put on our suit of armor and approach this as a prolonged war with many battles to make small progresses. Its amazing how our mental approach to all of this is so key to living a life that has more meaning than feeling sorry for ourselves and how we live in a world of zombies while everyone else is living the life they want.

What's helped me in my journey is simplifying my treatment. I was for a time all over the place doing anything and everything I could to kill them dang bugs and get my life back but for most of us this is a battle of attrition not a sprint. I didn't know what abx/herb/supplement/activity was causing what so I simplified everything after learning the painful realities of taking the shotgun approach.

My faith has also played a big part in my mental attitude. I know we can't talk about it here because of rules but its a very real thing for me and many.

Stay focused, do what you're supposed to for optimal wellness and you will find an equilibrium for whatever particular situation you're in. I've seen people with horrible debilitating illnesses even terminal so we can also!

Your not alone. I'm 33 and understand exactly what your feeling. My treatment just started recently but I lost the last year of my life and am nowhere near healthy. Success stories and forum support really help.

Dave-This disease sucks. Plan and simple. Have you looked into PRP vs prolozone therapy? Pemf is also a good option as it oxygenates the muscles and increases circulation. You can rent a machine for a month for $500 and use it daily.

I had major shoulder surgery 3-4 months before I got bit. That area is a mess and flares constantly but I'm not sure that doing PRP now will help. Imo it's going to be money wasted until I eliminate the disease/inflammation.
