Hi joint problem

Hi didn't anyone on this site have popping and clicking joints problem from Lyme or co-infections does it get better year off treatment still not any better is sore aswell

Ahh just they have not stopped once with treatment my elbow feels like it's going so snap if put it straight.... ye hopefully it get better just wanna see improvement in it

I suggest taking collagen. Lyme eats up collagen - it is like its dessert.

I love this one -- /www.proteinessentials.com/protein-essentials-home-page-1/!/Hydrolyzed-Collagen-w-Peptan%25C2%25AE%25E2%2580%2593Unflavored-1lb-Bag/p/58969302/category%3D0

I get mine from Amazon. I love it because it has no flavor and I can mix it in any drink. To make sure I take it daily, I put it in my coffee every morning.

As an added benefit I have super healthy hair and nails.

Once ye have it you must always have no reversing it is there

I also hear it sometimes, very loud clicking. Is it known why those gases in joints are produced?

Hi started my antibiotics after giving it a week break jumped into quick maybe I took four of them straight away I'm day 5 back taking them feel like I'm slowing dying did start with to many also started taking cat claw with them also 2 other herbs should back down like what way should start taking them from taking my break can anyone help me out

Yea took Epsom salts bad didn't really do much

The detoxing has a cumulative effect - you can't just take an Epsom salt bath once a week and expect much

What else are you doing to detox?

Are you taking something for your liver?

Drinking lots of water?

Taking probiotics everyday?

So Ceftin, Zithromax, Rifampin and lymcore. I don't know what lymcore is - can you tell me more about that one?


Tell me what the herbs and other supplements are. Cat's Claw...and ?

Okay so is the Ceftin 500 mg twice daily? zithromax 500 mg twice daily? Rifampin 300 mg only once daily or twice daily?


If you've gotten worse since starting back on antibiotics - it's because you're herxing...please slow it down...you just got out of the hospital...


Okay so you're stopping the antibiotics now, right? If you feel like going to the hospital again...I'm thinking you're herxing again...so stop them.

Then - get a good detox regimen going.. For the next several days focus on detox ...and get a good regimen going - continue it when you go back on the antibiotics.
You're already doing some detoxing (epsom baths, drinking water)
Try adding in some more:

1) Drink 8 glasses of water a day.

2) get some lemons ....squeeze some lemon juice into some of the glasses. Drink with a straw to bypass the teeth...rinse your mouth with clear water after. (the acidic nature of lemons can damage tooth enamel)

3) Take probiotics everyday. Buy more than one type. So, if you have one in capsule form...see if you can buy some Kefir as well. I usually take my kefir right after my lunch.

4) Buy a liver support supplement. Milk thistle is good (unless you have a ragweed allergy) Take it everyday.

5) Take epsom salt baths - every other day minimum if you can. Warm ...not hot.

6) Dry brush your skin prior to the baths. If you can't get a natural bristle brush, then use a facecloth. (If you wet it the night before and let dry...it will be a little 'rough' and work if you can't get a brush.

7) Take the activated charcoal - it must be taken two hours away from the antibiotics and anything else that you want absorbed because it flushes everything out. Take it with a full glass of water.

8) Light exercise. Are you able to go for walks every couple of days....even just a short one?

So, can you focus on detoxing the next several days...buy the lemons, buy the Kefir, and liver support.

Then...if you're back to baseline and continue a good detox regimen...start back with one antibiotic....just one...stay on only one for a while and see how you do...it may be that you can't start the second one for a few weeks.

Also I have a treadmill I do maybe 15-20 mins on it for excerise

I never started artemisa stop claws that could be causing herx could how long will stop it for cause don't wanna stop it for to long as I heard it is very good for getting you better with Lyme... ahh ye feel ok after 15 mins but I did 30 yesterday didn't feel to good... get my dinners is the evening time maybe take in the morning time would that be good wanna take it soon as to help with my herx at the min charcoal I mean

Ok I'll give it a week this time before I add anything back what you told me not to... ye I being hospital few time mostly of chest pain discomfort should start taking charcoal today

And when you do start adding things in again - please take it very, very slowly. It will feel like you will never heal at this rate - but the truth is the abx and the herbs are causing you to herx pretty bad because they are killing off the bacteria - the bacteria release toxins as they die - and you are being overwhelmed with toxins.

The only way to get up to the full doses in this situation is to slow it way down. Do as Girlie is suggesting, adding in one at a time, and very, very slowly - keeping up with detoxing the whole time.

If at any time, symptoms begin to get overwhelming again - drop back down to the previous dose level and increase your detoxing.

Again, it will feel like you will never heal at this rate, but that's not true. It's actually the only way I know to get through treatments when you have these types of reactions. I did too and it ended up being that I couldn't use the abx at all because they simply killed off too many bacteria at a time. My body simply can't handle the amount of toxins released. So, I used herbs only to heal and detoxed like a mad woman.
