I know these tick illnesses cause inflammation. But I usually hear of people talking of it lie brain inflammation, or arthritis type joint inflammation. what I have is body inflammation primarily in the abdomen- like bloating but more like just everything is inflamed all the time. Also chest inflammaiton.
Anyone else have inflammation in their abdominal area?

What are your symptoms? Sounds gastrointestinal

Hi I know parasites can cause this.

no it hard to explain its just a general feeling of inflammation- not gastro based my main symptoms are a tight squeezing suffocating in my chest and diaphragm- and then it extends to the abdomen where it feels inflamed and tight

Hi, flowergarden. Sorry to hear that you are still dealing with this!

When I experience clenching around my lower rib area and upper abdominal area, the muscles of the inner and outer abdomen can feel very taut and hard. The intestines and other organs underneath become inflamed from the muscles clenching. You and I have corresponded about how last fall I was quite disabled by this phenomenon, and recently it came back again. I was able to make it go away again (within a few days this time!) using breath work, posture changes, stretching, and restricted eating (to avoid stressing the organs being squeezed). I would love to recommend a type of health care practitioner who would understand this, but even my brilliant and well-meaning team of folks has not encountered this before. Even people familiar with it in the MS world believe there is no way to mitigate it except for muscle relaxers and pain meds, at least according to what I have found online. You may feel strongly that this is different from what is going on for you, but I found it very freeing to know that it's a structural process exacerbated by over-active nerves and a body predisposed to inflammation. CBD was helpful as well.

Whatever is going on for you, I hope that you find relief soon. Does it come and go at all? Any patterns? Worse after eating, worse after bending over, etc.?

thanks hi saraeli so I actually started working with an herbalist I like and have had some improvement in this area tho it is bad today. Had a few good days and have intermittent better days- changed my diet a lot to anti inflammatory, and he put me on a lot of binders and detox. And I just ten days ago started an herbal thing combo for co infections- am working my way up to full dose- currently only at about 1/4 dose.
I also just sent off a sample today for a chemicals test to see if chemcials are a cause of my problems will find out in two weeks.
Since I last talked with you I also took the dna connexions test and got + for elrichia, babesia divergens, one wierd form of bart, lyme, tick relapsing fever- so for sure those are playing into it.
the acupuncture I did did not help.
I am having a very inflamed couple of days but I had two good days prior- and for a while I had a lot less bloating- been a little less strict on the diet recenlty so may have to go back to strict. Seeing any change at all has been encouraging but I have a long way to go. I like the new guy I am working with (remotely through video) he is really approaching the whole body- has me on the diet, added minerals and binders, and now the herbals.
so we will see. I dont know if anything will work for me. but this approach resonates and strengthens the body. oh also I am drinking celery juice every day. I notice a difference from that. Weirdly today and yesterday are back to bad as usual but the two good days prior give me hope. I was able to do a lot more exercise and felt better in my body. I sometimes slack on some of the supplements and diet so starting tomorrow will be ore full in my recommendations. so I am not as lost and desperate since I like the approach of the new herbalist- just having a bad run of it. Like I get inflamed and then squeezed up at the same time. But I am not even at full dose of my herbals yet- I am working up to 30 drops 3X a day of two different tinctures- one for inflammation and one for coinfecitons. And then eventually I will alternate the co infections one with a lyme one. but I am only doing 6 drops of each 3X a day as he told me to work up slowly. So I will see if it helps.
