Feel like I'm loosing
my ability to help myself.
The herbs sit over there. The bottles and bottles. I don't know where to begin or end.

The anxiety and depression are over taking me. I'm having cognitive decline.

Is there anyone I can pay to put together a protocol to help me. I believe Or get rid of the anxiety and depression, and cognitive issues. I'm drowning here. I can't barley function, if something like an emergency with my family came up I would be useless.

I have prob all the herbs I need. I'm just swimming or feeling dizzy just thinking about it. I feel very bad.

Lightlife - I’m sorry you are feeling so badly! Been there soooo many times.

Have you thought about having a phone consult with an herbalist - one that is on Buhner’s recommended list?

Maybe pick one or two supplements and just start taking them, to see if they help? This is not a good idea though if you are having severe cognitive trouble though. When I was really not thinking straight I almost took two doses of a supplement because I didn't remember taking the first dose.

It might help to make a list of all of the supplements you have—sort them into antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory, etc. Or do what I do and make three or four groups—babesia supplements, bartonella, Lyme, liver support, etc. Then I take one or two from each category.

I usually start one supplement at a time, in case I have a bad reaction to it.

If you are not sure what the supplements you have are for, you could post the list and other members might be able to help you.

Lightlife,
Sorry you are struggling, but don't give up.

If you can just knock back the worst symptoms a bit, it would really help.

So lets think here..you are not alone, we care about you and want you to heal.

What are you currently taking for the infections?

Detox methods?

Have you considered Burber pinella or Jerrnigans CNS/PNS Antti tox for ammonia build up?

Do you have Uncaria rychophylla tincture?

Are you able to see an llmd, functional, integrative or herbalist to help you get started on the right track.

You could also post asking forum members , if they have recommendations for any of the above that accept insurance in your area or surrounding states.

Hope you have a better day soon.

Lightlife and Girlie, I've been there too!

I've been off herbals/abx for awhile and it gets confusing when you're in the midst of it, I could have used some help during that...

I know about feeling useless in a family emergency which I've let mine down and am not there for them, and having to sleep 18 hours some days to prepare for a day of chores (which I help around the house with but it drains me very fast).

Self-Care is important, epsom salt bath wash, get adequate sleep, try fasting for 18-36 hours, or take a brief break from bug-killing herbs, drink lemon water or with alka seltzer gold, peppermint tea.

And I'm only speaking from experience with some supplements that help me with clarity/anxiety/depression (pramiracetam, oxiracetam, taurine, lions mane, siberian ginseng) claritin, montelukast sodium. ( I used to take phenylpiracetam 10-20mg first thing in the morning so I would have energy and enough mental stamina to remember what all to take, but I think it made my blood pressure go up).

I hope you can muster the strength. I know it is difficult.
